“The Wrath of the Beast is an undying flame, kindled by blood of the Heathen.”

 

In a time long predating the incursion of mortal-kind into occult knowledges and forbidden lore, the collective of humanity championed a grasp over primeval instinct and established an equity with the inborn Shadow that made men, men. Throughout this age instinct alone arbitrated the senses of the mortal man, who by design was a being formed through both sentience and primitive beasthood.

 

But with progression came the age of apostasy, and the contravention of sorcerers who first ventured into the pit of the ancient world in vain pursuit of power, who by so doing incised a mortal stain upon the living concord and the darkness that bound them therein. Thus, Sin was born, conscience was made, and the Beast was riven from its bosom. In their liberation decadent men and spirits staked claims over Godhood, forming in falsity covenants alike those of Xan and the Ascended, whereas perfidious Aenguls extorted veneration and usurped the natural way of Man.

 

The Beast was revoked.

 

Without it, Order was lost, and a great line severed progeny from ancestry. All was washed beneath a tide of falsehood, and newfound ethics and morals ruled in place, casting an artificial dark upon primeval instinct.

 

 

But the Beast still lives on, only fallow within every true-born mortal.

By Assimilation, the lost will be born again, wont to cleanse the land of its growing rot.

 

 

“Thus, man was made unto flesh, and flesh twice-over unto beast.

By the shadows in our blood, The New World shall be mended.”

A new shadow is assimilated as another joins the flock.
