Alien Worship in Fantasy RPG Worlds-Merchants-The Seven Eyes

For some the agreement to work with alien powers has nothing to do with religion it is rather a desire to gain wealth and power. These groups may use those who worship alien powers and may act as they do for this reason but in truth they are more of a syndicat or a mafia, hoping to gain power by working with the aliens.

Such syndicats could in fact be responsible for most of the events on a planet, with a few people having controled the course of the fantasy worlds history for thousands of years.
The syndicate of The Seven Eyes is one such group, having begun while humans where still cavemen 50,000 years before the first human cities the Seven Eyes was formed when a long forgotten alien being arrived on the planet, hunting elves for these beings came from another world where elves in their travels had gone. Yet on this planet the elves became such a delecacy for the superior beings that they where wiped out. Now the strange aliens travel the universe looking for its favored food to trade back on its home world.

The alien being was alone however, not having the wealth to hire others of its kind to come with it. For this reason it employeed the humans already on the planet a small tribe of humans giving them what it considered trinkets in return for aid.
This in turn gave these humans great knowledge for they aided the alien not only in capturing elves but in building a larger ship to hold the elves. To these things they had to be trained in powerful magic and some technology.
The alien then left the planet and the humans, leaving them with just one order, to keep secret what they had learned so as to keep power among the chosen.
Over the years more aliens arrived, and with one of their trinkets the group always knew of these commings for it could detect the magics and technologies that allowed for interplanitary travel.
The Seven Eyes would help each alien group that arrived in return for more power and more secrets, acting as a trade broker. Such power is not of use however unless it is used and so the members of The Seven Eyes began to manipulate the world in ways that would serve their own random desires. Sometimes this manipulation was simply there to create forms of art for them to enjoy, other times however it was as a game with groups playing kingdoms and armies against each other in a twisted version of chess.
