Interesting!
You will, to focus more on corrupting the Duke. He will surely come around when his prayers to Nokluvgn start giving tangible rewards, and you will be around to ensure he knows of the conspiracies his prayer has protected him from...
The New Way in Nuulyd shall focus on the more important members of the community in recruitment, who will be more able to influence the town to evil in their own right.
Seed planted successfully, time to move on I'm thinking. We've got a foothold in the Duke, now it's imperative that we corrupt him so he can start trickling it down to his subordinates.
+1 and send orders to the first cult as well to keep up the construction projects and gathering of resources but keep four power in reserve to avoid others noticing anything untoward

Get information with the knights before getting in the city, maybe they know about some comrades that would love or deserve to worship us, we will get into the city with some names and their weakness.
Bring one Wordbearer with us, make the bored criminal wordbearer stay in the city, he knows it better.
Make Kesha stay in the fellshore making sure our will is obeyed, but make the other wordbearer from fellshore go to Nuulyd to help we further control the city.
with two wordbearer, and the knights making protection of the temple as a "sacred warrior" they begin the:
Nuulyd control plan:
1. Influential people and the truly desperate/evil. (The first for control of the city, the second for being easy to manipulate and shouldn't take too much time, yet, they will be helping)
2. The prison guards, and the desperate/evil. If we got eleven criminals in one go the prison have more than that (the guard even offered more criminals when we said they were doing services for the church) if the prison houses many criminals it is a small(weak) fort.
3. The locked criminals(*), should be easy and the city militia(**)
3* after it they could begin digging silently a hidden but tortuous tunnel to the temple, and then begin the maze, so we could hide some resources in the prison
3** then we could freely assassinate someone that knows too much, or someone that is a competitor with ours rich man's business and the investigators would conclude that some poor innocent soul was the assassin and throw him in prison. There we could recruit/torture/sacrifice him without someone noticing
4. With even the parallel power in our hands, they should start recruiting everybody else.
FELLSHORE: A small village on the shore of Lake Fell, Fellshore recently fell under the complete control of the demon Nokluvgn (see CULTS, NOKLUVGN). It is a fishing village, catching fish from Lake Fell and storing them in barrels for sale at the market in Nuulyd. Lake Fell itself is relatively small as compared to, say, Grand Lake, but by ordinary lake sizes it is... medium. It would be known throughout Jilgalia as the deepest lake around, if anyone ever bothered to measure how deep it is. Who knows what unseen things lurk in those forgotten depths?
Send a specter to investigate this fucking lake.
We have a nice corrupted forest. Why not use its potential?
You have a strong point (sorry, i couldn't resist), and thanks for remembering. We(someone else) suggested earlier that we could just try to
discover if the brutewolves can reproduce, i am suggesting it again,
if they can, make the maze as their den, let they hunt unlucky travelers, maybe do one smokewraith be their eyes and aid then in hunting (and make the cultist's of fellshore know where they can get free resources.)
If not just make they follow us by afar
