Not exactly your question, I know, but...

The 'Cult' of something or someone means the practice itself, not just the group doing it. Which is to say, 'the cult of Rutilor' is synonymous with 'the worship of Rutilor.' Perfectly legitimate term to use even if there is no such organized group.

The only time I have noticed the word cult used alongside DR religion are the Cult of the World Dragon and the Cult of Dergati. Both seem to fit well enough, because I don't think I'm alone in typically associating the word cult with a 'bad' group of people. The word cult does not MEAN that, it's just kind of the way society uses it. But that's an entirely different story. Anyway, here's where it stands out to me IG

You get a slim hammered bronze sistrum in a bloodwood frame from inside a salt-stained duffel bag studded with fish skulls which is in a secure vault.

The sistrum has a shady history, being known for its use in the rites of the cult of Dergati. Legend holds that it was originally created by the Bone Elves plotting to assassinate Queen Morganae, who used the rattle to signal each other under the guise of music. It consists of an oval frame on a slender handle, with metal cross pieces on which are threaded rings or cymbals. The musicians shake the instrument to produce a rhythmic jangling beat.
