The Divine Order of Idona

## History:

The divine order of Idona was found by Mulu Duri on May 15th 1958. Mulu was obsessed with urban legends and mythology. He heard a story from his friends father who served in WWI about a goddess named Idona and her enemy Sen'i. Being obsessed with storys like this, Mulu did his own research and talked to some churches that had information about Jesus that matched the story of Idona and Sen'i. Mulu took this as a sign that Idona and Sen'i were real. Mulu had a dream that Idona came to him presenting him a glass of blood and orchid juice with a large bouqet of orchids. In his dream, Idona begged him to get others on the cause to stop Sen'i. Mulu woke up right after his dream and started hanging up signs around his town about what happend in his dream seeing if he could recruit any member. A small group of very spiritual people came to the meeting and from then on they were the Divine order of Idona.

Over the course of a few years others started hearing about the group through word around the city, the group become famous for their parties they would have so they were able to gather a large group of members just from that. The group was doing good until Mulu began to start having dreams again of Idona. Idona informed him that the small blood donations they were providing her with weren't enough to strengthen her to stop Sen'i. Idona told Mulu that to strengthen her she would need lots of positive energy plus a cup of orchids mixed with blood. Idona also requested a cup of plain blood to temporarily satisfy Sen'i. After this dream Mulu started making changes to the cult. He would organize hours of prayer time to strengthen Idona and Mulu, not afraid to break the law, requested that member provide the cult with a sacrifice to provide Idona with the needed blood. If a sacrifice was not provided, one of the members would be sacrificed.

Mulu's endless speeches and only half real evidence was enough to brain wash the members into agreeing with his policy. This continued for the next 50 years until Mulu was to tired to continue his work. Mulu was incredibly rich was all the "monthly dues" Mulu would make the members pay (they believes the money was for Idona) but he would just keep it for himself as he believed he deserved it for all his hard work. Mulu at age 80 passed the cult onto his granddaughter, Haile, because she believes she was the only one of his family members skilled enough to take on the task.

## Sacrifice procedure

Sacrifice must consent to procedure (often pressured, gas lighted, and tricked into consenting). Sacrifice is put into an extremely thin, minimalistic, simple white gown. Sacrifice will recite a haiku poem and proceed to lay down with their hands on their heart. Sacrificer will list all of their achievements related to the "great cause" and will continue to use a blade washed with the juices of an orchid. Sacrificer will slit the sacrifice's throat, wait until the pulse has stopped, and chop their head off. Blood is collected and separated into two cups. One cup is mixed with the juices of an orchid, this cup is to strengthen Idona, the other cup with plain blood is to feed to the spirit of Sen'i to satisfy him to reduce his desire for blood of innocent people.

## Haile's Reign

Haile's reign was the start of a new era for The Divine Order. She did the minimal amount tasks required for the group, slacked off a lot, and bought a ton of expensive stuff for herself with the money the group was making for her. Her sister Jane was upset that she wasn't getting any of the money but Haile couldn't care less. Haile's reign was short lived when Layla Nyx ended her life.

## Layla's Reign

When Haile died, Layla Nyx was appointed the new high priest. Everyone much preferred Layla's rule over Haile's considering she was more serious about the organization. Layla focussed all the members on stopping Sen'i, she was very passionate about it. She advised the member to cut off anyone who was not part of the organization from their lives and she hosted more strict praying sessions.
