Thread: The Cult of Deolr'yth

God Religious The Cult of Deolr'yth worship a god they call by that name, who demands sacrifices be made to him on a Friday every 3 months. These sacrifices consist of a virgin being brought to the altar and being raped, then executed. The virgins can be either male or female, with the females being raped by the High Priest and the other male members, while the male victims are raped by the High Priestess and the female members. Their performance, as judged by the High Priest or High Priestess, determines how fast and painlessly they will die. If they thought little of it, then they will die a slow, painful death. If they thought highly of it, then they are given a quick, clean, and painless death. All victims are abducted from outside of the cults community, and most often range in age from 13 to 18, but can be as old as 21. Only the male members of the cult perform the abductions due to their usually stronger build. Each victim is given an examination to determine if they are a virgin, and if they are found to not be, then they are usually kept in a cell and used to provide a target for the cult members to alleviate their own sexual needs on. These victims are kept until they are no longer interesting to any of the members, and then given an unceremonious execution, that is not part of any ceremony. Hierarchy Overall leadership The High Priest has overall control. Males Females High Priest High Priestess Priest Priestess Acolyte Sister Initiate Initiate Supplicant Supplicant Notes Supplicants are people who are attempting to join, but not yet approved. Initiates are those that have passed the initial processes. Neither of these rankings can actively participate in the sacrifices. They handle cleaning up and, with the help of Acolytes, bring the victims to the temple. The females don't go out on the acquisition raids, since the men are often stronger. Temple layout The temple follows a simple layout, a long building divided into progressively more important sections, the altar at the far end. Along the shorter side, there are 3 main divisions that run the majority of the length of the building, each one having its own rooms for the purposes of the section. Dormitory style accommodations are in place for most of the members, while the Priests, Priestesses, and the High Priest and High Priestess all have their own rooms. Storage and cooking are on the opposite side to the living quarters, and separating them is a large room used for communal gathering, and part walled off to provide a hallway to the altar. Underneath the main level, there is an almost labyrinthine series of passageways, leading into cells that are used for holding the victims that are either yet to be examined for being a virgin or not, have been determined to be a virgin, the examination rooms, and cells for those that they find are not virgins. Info The RP will be based on the assumption that you have already been abducted for the victims, so if you wish to RP the abductions, you can RP that too, although it would help keep the thread clear for the RP within the cult's temple if the abduction RPs were handled through PMs or a separate thread. Just point the people you want as your abductors here so they know the way the cult works.
