Cult of the Red Star (faith)

Parent: Aversarinas Aagiokrata

Having seen the great red comet that foretold the Worldeater, some among the followers of Aersodiax concluded that it was a sign. The Worldeater, they claimed, was the 'First Herald', one of ten great beasts that would precede the return of Aersodiax, risen from death to punish those who betrayed him. Considering themselves the watchers for the end times, their secretive meetings have gradually expanded the number of Heralds, having reached the number 8 when Frodbrokna devastated the world. Seeing what was surely the beginning of the end, priests rushed to declare the last two Heralds, with Aeschraes and Axiaotheia as the most common choices for the dubious honorific, though others have also become candidates, including the Fog, Aexionarax, Cenware, along with many more.

Though it might normally be expected of such a faith to consolidate around a single message, the imminent apocalypse has rendered such quibbling worthless, and the worshipers of the Red Star are instead devoted to enjoying what little time they have left in the form of endless celebrations and orgies, taking what they still can of life before their long-dead master returns to avenge their ancient sin.
