The Lambs of Dalamud were a cult that sprung up around patch 1.20? I believe when Dalamud was edging closer and closer and had obtained it's red hue. They believed they had to appease Dalamud by having ritual sacrifices to it. They would kidnap people and a NPC (I can't remember his name for the life of me) would spring up and yell and you could participate in a fight and save the kidnapped person. There were 2 zones that this happened: Mistbeard and Copperbell Mines, Mistbeard took place on docks inside this little cove and the Copperbell Mines one took place in the Sil'dih Aqueduct, both of these places were inaccessible in the dungeons (open world dungeons btw) and could only be accessed when being teleported by the NPC.

As for why they're still around, they still worship Dalamud. In the Tam-Tara Deepcroft they were attempting to reconstruct Dalamud (the huge orb that the Mindflayer appeared from). In Amdapor Keep they seemed to be trying to make this their new base/home, they had recently just dispelled the magic the Elementals had put in place to hide the lost buildings. It's highly likely they're being manipulated right now, they were able to dispel the Elemental's magic (prior knowledge of this would be necessary) after all and have a recurring theme of Mindlayers popping up.
