(In worldbuilding I tend to get hung up on getting every step just right before moving on so this is useful practice for me anyway.) The cult was founded in the last few decades by a noble who used their wealth to indulge in the occult. (I'm going to read "a noble" as "one of the rich and powerful".)
The most important event in their past is that they fled their former home, perhaps driven out by their rivals in older cults. The early recruits were the "sagacious learned who knew not when to turn away" - could be scientists, could be other amateur and not-so-amateur occultists, or something else, but it doesn't sound like it was just rich thrill-seekers.

Sell magic items for the most money . Get leads on the most profitable ventures. Classes. Untitled. Magical Industrial Revolution has very few long backstory sections.
Instead, I've decided to add in little popular songs or jokes to provide a sense of immersion (if the GM feels like singing) or background (if not). I'm not sure how many of these will make it into the final book, or if they'll all end up in some disused appendix, but it's a fun exercise.

It's also about the hardest game I've ever run.
It's a story about an anti-story. Untitled. OSR: Medieval Stalemate Simulator (or Six-Dimensional Warfare) Such extraordinary efforts of power and courage will always command the attention of posterity, but the events by which the fate of nations is not materially changed leave a faint impression on the page of history, and the patience of the reader would be exhausted by the repetition of the same hostilities, undertaken without cause, prosecuted without glory, and terminated without effect. Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter XLVI, Edward Gibbon. Historians quote Gibbon like theater students quote Shakespeare; because it's fun. Medieval warfare, between the 4th and 16th centuries, in any part of the world from Spain to Syria, was not fun.
War never is, but medieval wars are particularly tedious, bloody-minded, and repetitive. Untitled. Ghosts are the souls of creatures that don't know they're dead, or are too insane to care. Dybbuks and vampires are created when a creature knows it is dead but has the strength to carry on, at least for a time. A fleeing soul can possess an animal but the arrangement is temporary and unpleasant for everyone involved. Ever wondered why cats are so weird? But a fleeing soul can also possess a young plant. Untitled. Untitled. Why is your D&D town surrounded by trees?
If the town is small enough, local consumption of wood is less than the forest's replacement rate. If the town is larger, you need to have an excuse.
