The Spire

The Cult of the Eternal

In the centre of the City there stands a spire of pure white glass, the Temple of the Cult of the Eternal surrounded by a garden of pale gold roses. For those who had become tired of life or who had suffered too much pain the garden brought final peaceful rest in sweet unending dreams. The Cult held the secret of Eternal Life and used their arts to extend the life of the Centurion King and so secure his dynasty and the entrapment of the demon.

The Sorcerors came to take the secret and so attain eternal life. They shattered the Cult, seized the Spire and twisted the garden into a place of nightmares. Now the Sorcerors draw their Guardian Demons out of the minds of tormented dreamers. The surviving remnants of the Cult fled into the desert and took refuge with the Kireshi desert nomads waiting for the day when prophecy will be fulfilled and the next Centurion King will return.

On that day they will enter the City with the Kireshi Desert Witches and sweep the sorcerors and their filth away. What none know are the bargains the Cult had to make with the Witches to secure their survival and aid...
