====== Cultists in the Dark ======
^ Go back to [[roleplaying:bitd:start|Blades in the Dark]] ^
//Acolytes of a forgotten god// \\
You heard the secret voice calling in the darkness. You obeyed. You are its
instrument—and the world shall bow before its glory, or burn. \\ \\

or embody its precepts in action**. Instead of hunting grounds, you have //**sacred
sites**// that you use for your operations. \\ \\
