Cult of Moments

The Cult of Moments is said to be the real power in the city of Kholinar. The Vorin church has declared it a heresy.
Yokska confirmed that each night, some members of the cult set a blazing fire on top of the Oathgate platform, and that they guard the place all hours of the day.
According to Shallan, the cult reportedly claim to see a transformed world coming upon the people.
According to Wit, there are two general divisions among them. The common members wander the streets, moaning, pretending to be spren. But others up on the platform actually know the spren - specifically, the creature known as the Heart of the Revel.
Wit tells Shallan that the cult takes new members eagerly. Consumes them, like a fire needing new logs.
Further, that food is her way in because members' proximity to the Heart drives them to feast and celebrate.
Additionally, that members take the wonderful things of life and indulge until they lose savor. They take something beautiful and make it carnal.
He tells her to bring them food for the revel, and that he can get her in. He warns her though that simple Soulcast grain won't satisfy them.
After Wit leaves Veil a note at the place where she is staying in Kholinar, indicating that she needs to do something to get their attention, she determines that the cult seems to have their fingers in everything in the city ... kind of like the Ghostbloods ... watching secretly.
Many members are openly hostile toward those of the Wall Guard because they are better fed.
A group of them approach the Wall Guard in stark violet, with masks obscuring their faces. They whip their own forearms, drawing painspren, which climb from the ground around them.
Shallan has cultivated her reputation as Swiftspren in effort to get the Cult of Moments to recognize her and invite her to join them, specifically so she can get to the Oathgate.
They are influenced by the Unmade, Ashertmarn, into holding an endless party in the palace. As such, they serve as his guards for that Oathgate.
==Appearance==
The cultists dress to imitate spren.
Most cultists have the same glassy look in their eyes.
==Notes==
The cult reminds Wit of a group he knew long ago. Equally dangerous, equally foolish.
Former King Elhokar wanted Shallan to infiltrate the cult, get onto the platform and activate the Oathgate.
Wit told Shallan that he couldn't make the Oathgate there work because the spren of the fabrial wouldn't obey him. But, also that she could because she had the proper key.
