People keep saying "why would anyone choose the evil path?"
One of the main reasons to be evil, in fiction or in real life, is the pursuit of power.
The druids aren't gonna give you any power. The tieflings aren't gonna give you any power. But the Absolute, if it is indeed some new god on the rise, might give you lots of power. Getting in on the ground floor with the Absolute cult could lead to big rewards down the line.
