The Perfecti aren't really Cathar-clones as they don't acknowledge a secondary status of believers but think that all should become Perfecti and martyr themselves. One could attempt to establish a Cathari-style community but I prefer to leave that to the actions of PC-heroes.

Already in there as the World of Losers movement (worshippers of Arkat the Martyr (Glorantha Intro p60).

Perhaps the City of Ebbeshal in Fonrit which:
"...is a perverse parody of Genertelan Malkionism, but is
so far removed from the centers of religious controversy it
has never been labeled heresy by either of the two
Ecclesiarchs. The cult claims transcendental secrets which
teach that mundane life is worthless, hence any action is
excusable."
Missing Lands p65.
>the Lollards....
Not really so bizarre but protestants ahead of their time.
>The West, especially Ralios, should be lousy with them.
Ralios already has even more bizarre cults, such as the Borists and the Chaos Monks.
