+Eligos/Abigor seems to have maintained no active cult among humans, and instead appears to have been listed among the demons that might be summoned and forced to serve solitary wizards.  Eligos is, however, said to have "60 Legions" of warrior ([[Kandarian Demon|Kandarian]]?) "demons" as followers who serve him in "hell" (whether this is the literal, scriptural Hell, or a dimension, plane, or world that might be described that way is unknown); these followers are, presumably, organized in a chain-of-command as in some sort of mercenary military order.
