The Cultists

[Komodo 140]

*Cough, Cough* Ahem.

Greetings to you, lucky person who has managed to find this thread! And woe betide the moderator who finds it, for he shall most likely be forced to move said thread. I shall get to my point, as I do not believe this will be a very long post. I shall open with a few excerpts from a proposal I planned to suggest to Mogroka and the leaders of the Inquisition a week or two ago before my life was overwhelmed by musicals and marching band. Here we are...

Objective #1: To establish an enjoyable religion RP among Oren roleplayers and their characters. Religion is something I feel should be more prevalent in the Holy Empire. Most characters have little clue what it is or how it is followed. Because of this, I come to my second objective.

Objective #2: Rather loftier than #1, I believe we can in fact create a setting for Oren's faith. A setting in which the faith is very much in danger. Too few people know of it and what its beliefs are. Because of this, peasants tend to be ignorant. They see the recent formations of the Inquisition, Teutonic extremism and rumors of Undead returning and such as a threat to their delicate peace. This may lead to the peasants growing suspicious of one another or even accusing their neighbors, friends, and family as heretics or worse...

Now, I have two further objectives, though they are more focused on other points I do not want to bring up at this time. My ideas are my own and I do not wish to have them spoiled. Objective four would be a major spoiler, though I shall elaborate some on number three. As I stated previously in objective two, I hope to set up the setting for this religious roleplay. Touching on objective four, there shall be two primary groups. The Inquisition (already founded of course), and the Cultists.

Quite frankly, what is the point of having an Inquisition, its goal to protect the Empire and the Church, if there is nothing to protect it from? My rough draft proposal is to see the formation of a Cult to provide a good foil for these holy crusaders. I am not quite sure, however, what these Cultists shall exactly "be". Will they follow Iblees or another faith? Are they fancy sophisticates, gaining power by money and influence, or perhaps they are militant farmers, swayed to heresy by ignorance and poor treatment by cruel lords. And yes, you heard me right, I said "heresy". The focus on this group is simply "heresy". This organization shall strive to bolster it's numbers and sway men over to its cause. Of course, its "cause" is something we are not exactly sure of.

This is generally why I brought the idea to you, the community. I want to see a Cult emerge in Oren to threaten the Church, Empire, maybe eventually all of Asulon! The possibilities are quite endless. I personally would be anxious to see some Warhammer style heretics moving about in the dark of Asulon's night, though everyone has their own opinion. This thread shall be used for anyone who would like to contribute to this possible organization. I do not intend to lead however. As I said, I am quite busy and I am not to savvy on Iblees following. However, I would be happy to help and I,of course, shall be helping to found the guild. Please post your opinions, ideas, and suggestions in the comments below.

I wouldn't say be a fanatical supporter of Iblees, but I'd love to see some genuinely twisted Aenguls and Daemons inspiring attacks on Oren.
