Blacksap Movement - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

The Blacksap are a Nationalistic Political-Religious Movement in Bosmer society founded in Cormount after the ‘Massacre at New Joy’: when an entire town of immigrants was razed by Wood Elf zealots for disrespecting the Green Pact. Followers of the movement demand written codification of the tenets of the Green Pact and absolutely strict adherence to them, as well as the expulsion of all foreign influences from Valenwood.
