An atrocite remains with a cult only so long as its presence and guidance clearly increases the recruiting power or destructive capacity of the cult, leaving as soon as it can to further spread its message of infinite unmaking. Cultists sometimes smuggle atrocites into highly populated systems to spread the Devourer’s dire gospel, but atrocites travel on their own just as often, either teleporting over vast distances through space or using planar travel.
