Has no cabal item to steal, but when they have other cabal items they gain some shadowed version of the other cabal's powers, like a toned down resist, toned down fire=hp, a nightwalker, focusing on a codex, or bonding. I think that'd be a lot of fun to play. Gives you enemies EVERYWHERE, and if there were some really skilled players in it, CABALs would actually have to coop to get their items back, etc.

Cabal would be a cool pirate island or shipwreck or something with booby traps, so if you don't know the right way in (a cabal skill?) then you may accidentally set off booby traps. You can just take back your item though, or put it on a "pedestal" mob that you can break easily.
