Whether they worship a certain deity, an ancient demon, or some existing magical beast, the Cultists are united in their cause. By performing various rituals and other more mundane duties they pursue their common goals with great tenacity.
Their rather zealous approach makes some of them sound insane when it comes to their beliefs and shady practices, and there are many occasions where cults are behind abductions and sacrifices of the innocent with which they often get away with.
While they have a common goal, most can’t resist feeling proud of being a part of such an organization, and so they try to take a bit of that reputation for their names to be heard, names such as Drace Killian, Seren Tombend, and Hortensia Graves.
Good Cultist Names
It is said that most Cultists hide their associations with their organization, both for safety and secrecy concerns. Therefore, it’s not surprising to hear that they often choose a completely different name to remain anonymous.

He’s still not certain he made the right choice but there he is, working as a doctor for a rather large group of zealous associates who continuously bring all but dead people for him to try to save.

Cultist Faction Names
Cultist organizations can be whole networks of people spreading across towns, cities, kingdoms, and even whole regions. They often spread the word of their deity but also work from the shadows where their ultimate goal is known only to those who lead them.

Order of the Dawn

- Hell’s Whisper
- Skulls of the Seven
- Unbroken Promise
- The Damned
- Timeless Ascension
Cultists are united in their common goal, whether it’s to spread the influence of their deity, resurrect a fallen creature, or summon an ancient demon lord. Their zealous approach makes them tenacious and relentless, and they use all means available to achieve their goals. Think about where and how this character lived before joining a cult, what kind of an organization are they a part of now, what are the goals of both them and the syndicate and create a name worthy of this Cultist’s ambitions.
