The Resonance Cult

Founded seventy years ago by Elarais the Sightless, a disgraced elven cartographer of the Atrix Web who claimed the conduits spoke to her in a melodic language. Initially a small philosophical circle in the Capital city, the group was driven underground after their rituals caused a minor mana collapse in the city's diplomatic quarter. They fled to the rolling hills of the north-northwestern coast, discovering that the natural cave systems acted as acoustic chambers for the Web's vibrations. They have since evolved from a group of scholars into a radicalized sect that views the Web as a neglected deity being drained by the greed of the mortal civilizations.

Chronology

Founded seventy years ago by Elarais the Sightless, a disgraced elven cartographer of the Atrix Web who claimed the conduits spoke to her in a melodic language. Initially a small philosophical circle in the Capital city, the group was driven underground after their rituals caused a minor mana collapse in the city's diplomatic quarter. They fled to the rolling hills of the north-northwestern coast, discovering that the natural cave systems acted as acoustic chambers for the Web's vibrations. They have since evolved from a group of scholars into a radicalized sect that views the Web as a neglected deity being drained by the greed of the mortal civilizations.

Founder’s Story

Elarais the Sightless was an expert in mana cartography who lost her physical vision during an accidental surge. In the darkness, she began to perceive the Atrix Web not as a tool for trade, but as a colossal, sentient nervous system of the world. She taught that every time a merchant used a conduit to send goods or a mage cast a spell, they were essentially 'biting the flesh' of a living god. Her first followers were those who had been scarred or 'touched' by mana accidents.

The Mechanism of Intent

Public Goals
  • Study the fluctuations of the Atrix Web to prevent regional mana collapses
  • Provide spiritual counseling to those afflicted by mana sickness
  • Advocate for the ethical use of mana by the Capital's industries
    • Secret Goals
  • Dissolve the physical barrier between flesh and the Atrix Web
  • Trigger massive mana surges to 'wake up' the sleeping deity
  • Destroy the trade conduits that 'parasitize' the Web's energy
    • Current Objectives
  • Infiltrate the Capital's mana-regulation office
  • Destabilize the riverine trade conduits to force a redirection of energy toward their hill-temples
  • Perform the 'Rite of the First Chord' to turn their leader into pure energy
    • Long-Term Vision

    The Great Attunement, a world-wide event where every living soul is absorbed into the Atrix Web, ending individuality and physical suffering to create a singular, celestial consciousness.

    StructureHierarchical Cell-Based Cult
    SuccessionThe Resonance choosing: upon the leader's death, the Harmonic who can survive a direct injection of 10,000 mana-units without disintegrating is named the next Master Conductor.

    Leadership

    Valerius Thorne— Master Conductor

    Intense, soft-spoken, and terrifyingly certain. He speaks of mass death as 'releasing the notes from the instrument'.

    Sister Syll— Chief Harmonic

    Ethereal and disconnected: her voice sounds like two people speaking at once.

    Kaelen the Breaker— Tactical Echo

    Pragmatic and bitter: handles the 'unstable surges' used as weapons.
