Hmm..an idea I toyed with earlier, Terminal, may interest you, then. What we could have-rather than a spot on the Tribunal- is have someone that the Tribunal work with actually (perhaps somehow secretly) be a member of the Cultists. They'd probably have to belong to a minor nation/faction that was absorbed rather than a full-blooded Cultists, perhaps, and we may end up fudging lore a bit (like I haven't already done that already), but we could totally come up with something.

And Ezrath- maybe tone down the badass-ness a bit. I'd like our party to earn their badass-ness through working with the Tribunal. They obviously had to be picked somehow, though, so don't deprave him of [i]everything[/i].
