Hello.  Cult numbers have dwindled precipitously over the past few weeks.  If you ever wanted a character that left a mark, particularly in influencing the formative stages of a new religion, there's no better faction for that.  


I've placed some concept ideas of mine at the top to sort of give anyone interested a general idea of the sort of characters they could play. I've also taken the time to shoot and star in a new recruitment video:

I suggest that this explorable have some sort of reward.  

:( good vicious druid

:[ Perhaps the greatest elf pc efu has ever seen.  Sorely missed.  

Misplaced sitting placeables in the Crone basement (arena).  Lower Fighting Pit (the one outside) has many off kilter sitting placeables.

can we not

Could maybe the Cathedral get a bell ( similar to an actual bell tower would be most thematic I suppose?) that alerts association members who might be inside the deeper parts of the Cathedral?

I like the idea of a red gloaming theme that speaks in the voices of all the sacrificed mages.

Wild illusions where appearance is randomized each casting.

Spore clouds and fungal retchers...mostly stationary summons and summons that do no damage only cause certain effects

The sign in the Mourner's Camp has one of the placeables on the ground.  The blood and scorch marks on the Lower fight pit are a bit off the ground.   Where the first area of the sewers (from lower) connects to the other side; there are some rock pile placeables that are floating.  

The Cathedral Exterior

The warm glow no longer emanates from the window but from the top of the door. Henrik no longer stands near the combat dummies alongside the fanatic he is training (who no longer attacks the combat dummy regularly). "Seek the Way" inscription on a nearby building twice in a row is a bit odd.

Signs and placeable fliers would be great for the various cultists of Lower to have access to.

[The Charlatan]

The Brotherhood of the Ascension (also known as the Cult of the Ascension, the Illumined Brotherhood, or more colloquially as "Ascensionists") are devotees of Frederick Bresley and the Way. They one of the oldest and longest running cults in Lower Sanctuary, and are both the loudest voice and the most prolific saboteurs against the tyranny and materialism of the Spellguard and of Upper Sanctuary. They persist in offering the hope that people can escape their lives in Sanctuary and ascend- not to the darkened surface -but to a new home and Paradise somewhere else.

The Brotherhood opposes efforts to improve the safety, stability and comfort of Sanctuary on the grounds that Sanctuary is an illusory city manufactured by the Spellguard to make people content with a miserable existence in the dark. In recent times, they have also developed a bitter rivalry with the Dwellers in Darkness over what notions of Freedom should guide the free people of Lower Sanctuary.

The Brotherhood believe that true Freedom can only be obtained through the Way of Frederick Bresley.

Association

Application: No.

Recommended Alignment: Non-Lawful. (Some exceptions possible)

Recommended Race: Non-Monstrous.

Recommended Class: Non-Druid. Clerics and Paladins worshiping other deities are strongly discouraged.

Recommended for players who thrive on conflict (association operates away from the main hub of the player base, and emphasizes antagonism to the IC status quo, entrenched conflicts with Upper Sanctuary factions & tensions with Lower Sanctuary associations, as well as a lore and story orientation)

The Charlatan

A charlatan preys on the uncertainty of the most vulnerable survivors of the apocalypse. Often times his followers are drawn from the disenfranchised dregs of society. These acolytes are expected to surrender their worldly possessions and sever all ties to their previous lives. A great cataclysm awaits the world and only those who embrace the teachings can expect salvation.


The Mystic

Mystics spend a lifetime seeking the Paradise within. Trials of faith and acts of self-mortification are the Way to Ascension. To deny yourself earthly lusts sets the spirit free, allowing it to float to a higher dimension of being. Some of the most devoted unfetter themselves to such an extent as to leave this world behind entirely, becoming one of the Departed.


The Iconoclast

The Iconoclast believe Frederick Bresley to have been a mortal whose accomplishments serves as testament to a sort of divinity found exclusively within men. This they claim proves that one needn't kneel to idols and that gods are no better than tyrants themselves. Temples are razed and idolaters heaped on pyres so as to exorcise the chains the divinities place on mortal souls.
