Cult of Bloodmoon
the cult of Bloodmoon and clarification.
The Bloodmoon fruit native to the lush forested regions of the Raviel island area is a type of tree that is quite common and frequently used by native Dwili as a mild intoxicant and energy enhancer. It wasn't until the arrival of the eastern Nobles and the foundation of the more technically advanced civilizations that advanced cultivation techniques were used to refine the Bloodmoon fruit in its potency. For as long as man has roamed the central area of the land of Dwilight the drug in its milder form has been used in conjunction with certain celestial changes. A common sympton or side effect of taking the potent form of Bloodmoon is hallucinations and ability to see the future. Some have attributed the fruit effect symbiosis to mans connection with nature and with the universe. Some have suggested that Bloodmoon and its effects are symbiosis be influenced by the ether of the universal voice.
To this day there only a handful of people in the Dwilight world nobility to have professed to have used or experimented with Bloodmoon. There are even fewer who use it for religious ceremony. It remains in use for a fringe of Bloodmoon spirit world travellers and the lesser peasant groups of Dwilight. It still remains a mystery to many outside of Ravielian aboriginal groups.
The cult is dedicated to scientific mysticism along the lines of the Thesophist, esoteric arts and divination. To search and discover the world using the methods of the ancients and combine it with the advanced sciences of the medieval age.
We aim to bring flesh to the carcass of culture and build muscle and tendon around its hulk, to breath new life into roleplay in Dwilight and create a world that is more than the political and religious, an order that knows through scientific and mystical knowledge that the world is actually flat and that the sun is merely the moon at night, a new class of player one who delves in the realm of chance and magic, one who influences the ebb and flow of nations through divination, astromancy, geomancy and whatever strange and interesting concepts existed before the age of modern science, when magic was the blood that flowed through space and time
