Salvation

"Come to join our flock, Arisen?"

Description
The cult of Salvation is a collective group that worships and prays for The Dragon to come and bring destruction or "Salvation". Members are generally anonymous and widespread through Gransys.

Salvation is currently being led by man who is referred to as "Elysion", named after the paradise all Salvation members expect reach after death.

History
''It took the dragon only seconds to wipe entire nations from the map of the world. One of the nations which the dragon had utterly destroyed had been large and powerful, enough so that if not for the dragon’s attacks it may well have come out the victor of the Endless Strife. But it was not a tragedy without survivors and among those few who lived through the horrors of that attack was the son of the king, the prince of this lost country. One of his eyes, wounded in his flight from the dragon’s attack, began to fester and, before long, the pestilence would claim his life. He took his rage and regret and transmitted them to the page via ink and quill.''

''As the racking fever and pain gripped his body, he came to one conclusion: humans deserved to be destroyed. The world and its people clearly needed to be purged by the dragon’s claws in order to be reborn anew. He titled his writings “The Testament of Hopeless Regret”. The existence of this text eventually led to the creation a continent-wide secret society named Salvation. The Testament came to be blazoned always with the mark of a single eye: the Remaining Eye. This is most likely why Salvation favors the use of the cyclops, which they call “the beasts that beckon the destruction.”''

''Then, many years later, one young man performed an unheard act: before a large gathering of his Salvation brethren, he tore out his own right eye. Where he came from or what brought him to the doors of Salvation is unknown. What is known is that he believed that in giving up his eye, he remade himself in the image of Salvation’s creator and impressed upon his brethren that this was the man who could lead their cause to success. Just as he had desired, the young man quickly rose through the ranks and eventually became their Great Leader, the one who guided them, and was given the name Elysion to refer to the paradise that they expect to follow death.''

Goal
The organization's main goal is to "help" The Dragon by dividing the country and instill chaos among its people. They do not believe it can be slain by mere humans and instead choose to join it in its carnage.

Wardrobe
All Salvation members wear the standard outfit of long black robes covering most of their face and all of their bodies. This robe is synonymous with the Cult of Salvation.

Trivia

 * They are mostly mages, making them all fairly easy to kill, but they can cause a lot of damage.


 * Their main enemy is the Arisen who is supposed to be the Dragon's bane.


 * Salvation also has skeleton soldiers, who will fight for and be summoned by Salvation. These soldiers can be tough and dangerous, so keep your distance.
