How about another preview?

So it's been a while so I thought I'd make another preview post.


Let's talk about the folks you'll be working with in the next chapter!

It's a cult of women whose goals will be explained in game (mostly) but I don't want to spoil things too badly so instead I'll just talk about their organizational structure for a bit.  Basically they're a bunch of classist jerks. 

The Grand Witness:

That sounds like the sort of title that will make more sense once you're in-game, doesn't it?  The Grand Witness is the leader of the cult.  She handles the overarching structure.  She leads her fellow cultists in prayer to [redacted].

Scribe:

A very important role, secondary only to the GW.  The scribe is there to make sure there is always a record of what happens in the cult.  There is only one scribe at any time.

Witness:

There's that word again.  The Witnesses make up most of the active members.  They're witches who pray to [Redacted].  Each one has their own role in the cult and all new members have to find a role that is currently unfilled in the cult.  Otherwise...

Drudge/Chattel:

Otherwise the new member simply becomes a drudge.  Sometimes referred to as chattel, or sometimes cheval.  Through a surprisingly simple but long ritual, a witness takes the drudge-to-be and completely removes her personality, willpower, and generally everything that makes her who she is.
