# Overview

The Order of the Grandfather (formerly known as The Grandfather's League, Church of the Grandfather) was a cult established in 1958 and active in 1958 until it's dissolution in 1968. The order was led by Jonathan Bellings, a former head priest at the Church of the Grandfather.

# History

The church in Onion Creek was built in 1138, sporting a gothic style. The church was in service since then.

In 1956, the Church of the Grandfather organization was formed and began operating locally. The church had moderate success in the local area in the very small town in Onion Creek. In 1958, the Church organization announced its reform into the Grandfather's League, and began recruiting members into the league, marketing towards children. Its headquarters was a small camp in the woods, where kids were sent to during the summer.

However, one faithful summer in July of 1958, the children did not return to their parents. The organization cut all contact with the families of the children. The families, being worried, contacted the authorities from Northport, who then launched a full investigation into the organization. However, after stumbling upon the organization headquarters, it was completely abandoned, as if no one was ever there. All traces of the organization ever being in Onion Creek was gone. In 1960, the investigation was cancelled, as there was little to no evidence against the organization.

In December of 1961, a full year after the investigation was cancelled, a 12 year old child was found by an anonymous woman on the sidewalk in religious attire, with bruise marks, completely shaken up. Upon being brought into the Northport police station, the child refused to answer any questions. It took 3 hours for the child to say anything, and when he did, he simply just said "We will be with him." Upon being asked how he ended up on the sidewalk, the child said he got lost after a trip with the "higher people". After this answer, the child refused to answer any further. The child passed away 4 days later due to unknown causes.

After this extremely bizarre encounter, suspicion and fear was growing not only locally, but also regionally. The Northport police department decided to relaunch the investigation into the strange organization they investigated just 2 years ago. Once again, the police didn't find much. The attire the child was wearing was extremely worn and made with low quality fabric, therefore it was close to impossible to trace any fingerprints or where it was made. However, the attire had a huge ripped hole on the back, as if the child tripped on something. The police was determined to find the missing patch.

A regional-wide investigation was launched across Washington, but to no avail. It was 3 years later that they finally found something; the ripped patch off the child's uniform. It was found in an extremely out of reach place in rural Washington. The police moved all their efforts to this one forest, and found countless of more evidence, such as hanging corpses, carcasses of animals and more. The police was now steps closer to finding the organization.

However, it took them 4 years to find the exact location of the organization. A small, remote, out of reach forest 5 kilometers away from Onion Creek. The police went in armed, prepared to storm the headquarters. However, once the police arrived at the location, the police saw the unthinkable.

**Bodies after bodies.**

# The 1968 Incident

2 months before the discovery of the location, the cult leaders knew they were at risk. They gave necklaces with small poison bottles on them to each member with a small pocket clock, telling each member that once the clock stops ticking, that's when they drink the poison on the necklace for "reincarnation into gods shaped by The Grandfather." 2 months later, a few days before the police stormed the location, the clocks stopped ticking.
