Venerartor of the Creator - A cult in the Green Sea setting

Venerators of the Creator

The Venerators of the Creator is a cult formed by Trar, which venerate their creator. Members of the cult know that they were created, but only the oldest and wisest know who their creator is and what they were created from. A circle with a dot in the centre is the symbol of the Venerators of the Creator. There is no overall organization of the cult, just local groups. The leaders of these groups sometimes correspond, but this is rare.

Trartes is their creator. He formed the Trar from predatory animals to create loyal servants. Forming the body was only in the beginning a problem, but forming the mind was and still is the most difficult task in transforming an animal into a Trar. Only the best specimen were chosen to be members of cult. Within the transformation process, every Trar receives a drop of Trartes’ blood. This gives them the capability to use creational magic (divine magic). The most intelligent cult members are instructed in arcane magic.

The long term goal of this cult is to bring back all the creational magical organs, used by the other cults, to Trartes the Creator. This task doesn’t always requires force or stealth, Trartes has an agreement with Ruthena, the founder and former head of the Philosopher Convent, that she will give back all of the cults creational organs once Trartes has regained all the other ones.

Venerators of the Creator can sense the direction of creational organs within a radius of 1 mile.

Due to the feral nature, Trar are limited in their power of creational magic. But within this limitation, the cult has access to all of the knowledge of Trartes.
