River Fall Cult

The River Fall Cult, also known to some as Clan of Anarmus, is an outlawed cult whose members believe that the world will soon be flooded by an event called the Great Flood, and once that happens the members of the cult will be reborn as Tritons.

History
After the Empire was established properly on Chilastra, some villagers of River Fall believed that they would be reborn as Tritons once the world was to be flooded by the Great Flood. These villagers eventually left River Fall and established themselves elsewhere, but were quickly labeled the River Fall Cult by the Empire. While their location is unknown and their member count is not clear, it is believed to be one of the biggest cults on Chilastra.

Beliefs
The River Fall Cult, or the Clan of Anarmus as they like to call themselves, have long believed in a very specific prophecy that they pray will occur at one point in history. The Great Flood is believed to be revenge from the Tritons after it is claimed that Vedalken conquered their lands many centuries ago and that the true inhabitants of Chilastra were originally Tritons, which there is no historical proof of.

The members, who call themselves Crags; another word for servant, believe in the prophet Anarmus. It is said that this prophet will arrive to the realm at some point in time and that this prophet will cause the Great Flood. The majority, if not all members, believe that this prophet is a male Triton.

Anarmus is often described to only have one eye, white hair and a scar in the middle of their chest, symbolizing the pain the Triton people have endured for centuries. The prophet is usually regarded very highly and most scriptures and imagery see him as being a giant that will slam his foot on the Great Sea, causing a massive flood that eventually drowns everyone.

According to scriptures, those who have been part of sacrificial ceremonies can save their souls and are believed to be reborn as Tritons once the Great Flood event occurs.

Ceremonies
The River Fall Cult usually hold ceremonies where they sacrifice victims through different methods. Burning at a stake seems to be the main way of sacrificing, but there have been reports of sacrifices.

At some ceremonies there has also been reports of cannibalism.

Some ceremonies also revolve around the revival of people. Most of those who have been revived have been set free in the world as a reminder that the River Fall Cult still exists.
