Great Flash Cult

The Great Flash Cult, also known as the Cultists, is a very dangerous cultist group who are hostile to anyone who does not accept their beliefs. The faction is made up of crazed fanatics who kidnap and force travelers to join the Cult. The Great Flash Cult appears in TDF:North American Arc as an antagonistic faction.
== History ==
It is 10 years after the war, after nuclear fire has burned the world and ended human civilization. Many have died in the detonation and many more from radiation, but survivors remain in the underground subways and fallout shelters. Some, however, remained on the surface and were exposed to high doses of radiation. The Great Flash Cult is a cult of people who have had their brains poisoned by radiation, gone mad and developed visions and psychic delusions. The Cult was organized shortly after the atomic attack, somewhere in western America, in Oregon. A group of religious fanatics formed the Cult of the Great Flash, a fundamentalist group who believe that radiation is a divine gift for the salvation of mankind and that all should strive for it. They believe that the remnants of civilization are untouched by radiation and blasphemous heretics, and they brutally torture and kill all people they meet, especially if they refuse to join them. The cultists have been exposed to extremely high doses of radiation, so their bodies and skin have suffered massive damage, some have had their skin rot, others have had their organs decompose and their whole body rot. Rumour has it that the cultists believe in another Doomsday, called the "Last Seven Plagues", a nuclear weapon whose flash will wipe out the rest of humanity for good.
== Trivia ==
* The "Last Seven Plauges" refers to chapters 15-16 of the Book of Revelation, which takes place at the end of the world and precedes the Last Judgment.
* It also refers to the seven continents of the world.
