"As all began, this too, shall End..."
The recent Blacklight Ritual has brought upon the devastation of your Patron, relinquishing those grafted to his flesh of their gifted share of His immortality. Alas, their bodies acquired across countless bloodlines throughout the past century desecrate your claimed home -- and it is all the fault of the Merantheans abroad. The curse of Varrach's Death Magic finished off what remained of them, leaving both you and them robbed of a chance of an afterlife spared of nonmagus slavery as opposed to luxury one could embrace for all eternity, and offering those that tormented your predecessors - unearned peace at last. Thus, we must rebuild what was lost...
STAKE YOUR CLAIM
STAKE YOUR CLAIM
Between the magus losses on the mainland and stories of The Great Nonmagus Extermination at the hand of a Ceilia Meanderwing long ago - You, alongside several other nonmagus individuals take your sights to the top. To take charge of the cult to revolutionize it into an outright religion amongst your growing people! Soon enough, your magus awakenings would follow tow as your Patron's final miracle to date. It would appear those you are challenging on your way to the top have grown weak in their faith, foolish in their actions thus far -- and incapable of stopping your rightful ascension to power!
Pontifex
There is currently no one in this position of power.
There is currently no one in this position of power.
It is known as the closest to the Patron and oftentimes? His voice...
They are His grand priest that seeks to bring about the ultimate end to Death and War - though are painfully plagued with the realization of such necessity. Those who claim such a position shall see themselves attuned to their very Patron! It is said that most physical injuries upon their flesh are swiftly undone akin to that of supernatural means, despite lacking anything to defer from their natural humanity. A subtle glint of their Patron's touch protects them slightly from magus influence and even provides a subtle boon of energy reserves -- all without the declaration of a Pact, for the role is the pact of itself. It is prophesized that one with the blood of the Patron coursing through his veins shall take such a position someday - claimed to be a Herald Of The End.

Maledictus
The current Maledictus Solen has grown weak in their faith, and to-boot? Lacks the magus prowess to stop your ascension to take the position from him! Perhaps, it was the corruption within the heart of man that led to him manipulating things to their favor, but it has grown clear by the lack of the Patron's presence, that he is not honoring their pact! Upon striking him down and enforcing revolution? The downtrodden nonmagus refugees and survivors can look -up-, knowing that their connection to their Patron likely grows stronger with their continual dedication to the Herald's Oath.
Upon taking down the previous Maledictus? You are provided the reward of a piece of Terminus - The Centricon Of The Eternal. It is said that by speaking the very spells within it, you can invoke the spells of The End with attunement to the very aspects they would demand of you. The more it is used, the stronger it becomes -- siphoning at your mana to perform its incantations. Though, there is currently only -1- openly available Centricon -- it is known that more can be conjured. Amongst the two that take to this position? They shall act as preachers teaching prophecies of The End, acknowledging the Sins of Humanity and theorems of their own design surrounding matters of this accord and beyond.

Noctifer
The pact of the last Noctifer had been relinquished, as the provocation of the Perfect Demon Indras had brought upon the end of the previous age. As a result, no "Nightbringers" are available to spread their influence across the mainland. With the recent ritual impacting Helborne entities in particular - the conjuration of 'Nightreapers' has also come to a screeching halt. This means you will need to be able to fulfill the roles of both.
Take to the shadows to hunt down Votaries and sinners that escape the cult's clutches and drag them back to the Pontifex to face the rightful judgment of your Patron -- if they can not be converted to the Truth and embrace their pact to completion. No place in the world is safe from you, for the resources at your disposal allow you to hunt anyone, anywhere -- from the openness of the wilds to the comforts of their homes. You are trained in the art of stealth and lethality -- making you one of the few things that even magi will dread to witness.
(Looking to establish stealthy spy/assassination RP plotlines to put the fear of your Patron into His enemies abroad? This is the role for you!)
There are only [3] open positions but no limit to the number of people I'm ultimately willing to accept. This is mostly because I would rather the IC power struggle to rise through the ranks be RP'd amongst you guys and decided that way -- to keep things interesting.

Curious but don't want to start from RPL 0 (or as a rebirth?), don't fret! There is yet another option in the form of preserved immortality!
