Also called The Cult to the King in Yellow, they espouse the beliefs and practices of their patron, the King in Yellow. A greater deity not often worshipped on Ayaria but of truly immense power, rivalling or exceeding entire lesser pantheons.
Agenda
What the King in Yellow wants is not known for certain, but can only be inferred. While many of his cultists may claim to know what the true agenda of their patron is, the veracity of their words is impossible to ascertain.
The King in Yellow seems to be a being of madness. A being who seeks out those prone to bouts of madness - artists, writers, unstable people - and try to lure them in. Often so subtly that one does not realize their insanity originates with the King in Yellow, and not from within themselves.
The King in Yellow seems to appreciate art. Art that is so elaborate and exotic as to be madenning, art that only a select few could appreciate, art that perhaps even the artist finds horrible to behold. The King in Yellow also seems to appreciate bringing an end to things. Unraveling what others have made. Finding stacks of cards, and knocking them down. Particularly, when applied to the delicate minds of one's fellow man.
- Spread the Yellow Sign.
- Cause moral people to commit immoral acts.
- Drive others to despair and ruin.
Sins
These actions will lead to penance or even excommunication if severe enough.
- Abandoning the King.
Domains
The King in Yellow exercises domains of entropy, madness, paint, theatre, and music.
Ranks
The King in Yellow is not a formal part of any pantheon, but is thought to be the first discovered Aureum or Golden God in elven astronomy. As such, it can support cultists up to the rank of Exalt.
