## What is a Cabal{#WHAT}
{toc}
A Cabal is an organization of elite individuals which has a specific goal, agenda and exotic powers granted to them by the Immortals. They offer a chance for deeper, more advanced role-play, new friends, opportunity to ascend in cabal ranks and gain respect, power, and loyalty of their members. The Cabals of Aabahran are for the most part, player controlled, from inducting new members, to forming alliances or declaring vendettas against other cabals. Your chances for induction and future possibilities in them, are dictated solely by your relationship with its members and their opinion of you.
Each Cabal fathers a clan whose ideals are identical of the formal Cabal. It is from this clan that the members of the cabal are recruited. Aspiring members join the clans and are selected from the pool by their individual worth, which is reflected in Clan Points (CPs). The members of the cabal are expected to maintain close ties with their fledgling clan.
## How to Apply{#APPLY}
