The Ragers aren't any more 'justified' in warring against the Cult than they are in warring against the Arbiters or Sylvan or Dawn. Scarab is just easier to pick on because they have about three members who show up with any regularity. Is this war wit 1. The Ragers have gotten their asses kicked for a good year or two (albeit, the ragers we see these days certainly aren't the same ones from six months ago, but ignore that for the moment) 2. Battle is now the dominant cabal. 3. Battle now picks fights with anyone it can afford to. For most any cabal, warring with the Arbiters puts a strain on membership/will gradually drain the power of that cabal. A true war, that is. That's why you don't see Battle running to grab the book every other minute, or the sapling for that matter. Wow, did I ramble. Anyways, the point is that Battle got its ass kicked for a long time, it's strong now, so it's the cabal doing the ass-kicking. Don't worry though, Scarab will probably get some nice powers, and all of the power-players will flock to Sacer. Then people will be bitching about the Cult picking fights where they don't really 'have the right to'. -A nameless thief
hout justification? Is Battle 'wrong' for fighting Scarab since their ideologies don't inherently conflict? I'd say not. This sort of thing happens on CF/IRL all the time. In plain english:
