Ember's Voices

Because Ember Dragon livestreams almost every time she is on the SMP, she explains that the people in her livestream chat are canonically the voices in her head, with each voice being a named, separate entity that can come and go as they please. While not everything they say is immediately canon, they can actually have a bit of impact on the story on their own, such as when they contributed to Ember's slight insanity when she went mining following Brian's leaving the Shadowborn Empire and forming ZomBria. The voices in her head can only tell her things, not actually make her do anything. Despite that, they do have influence over her actions when she is in a more negative state of mind.

Though they aren't able to do anything, the voices are still there and have developed a sort of lore on their own. Because of this, there is lore inside the main SMP Proximity lore that takes place entirely in Ember's head that while not impactful, is technically canon.

## Cults and Organizations

The voices in Ember's head have managed to split themselves into a variety of cults and organizations which may war or ally with each other in their search for power. Some of these cults define having power as being able to successfully manipulate Ember's actions. While not every voice is part of a cult or organization, many of them eventually become part of one.

### Beecracy

Beecracy was started within the SMP after Caleb found bees and decided to build the Sacred Bee Tree. Many of the voices joined in to follow Beecracy, though not too many of them stayed. Caleb has stated that the members of Beecracy are fine with all of the other cults and organizations, and Beecracy has been accepted by the Food Cult because bees are cute and they make honey, which is a food. Both the members of Beecracy and the Food Cult claim that Beecracy and the Bee God are the most powerful because they were the first religion to rise up.

### The Food Cult

#### The Bread Cult

The Food Cult originally started as the Bread Cult, which was originally part of Beecracy but split off into their own sort of faction after Ember went mining after Brian's leaving the Shadowborn Empire. This started when one of the followers of Beecracy said something along the lines of "I'm going to bread some bees." The Voices then joked about that until all they were saying was the word "bread". As time went on, they also included the words wheat, seeds, and soil. They claimed that the bread was more important than the bees because the bread was what allowed Ember to survive, but Ember denied this, claiming that the bees were what kept Caleb in the Shadowborn Empire. The Bread Cult claims to worship the Bread Gods, but Ember denied this, saying that there was only one Bread God, which most of the cult seems to accept. The Bread Cult also claimed that the Bread God was more powerful than Void and the Demon King, with Ember again immediately denying that the Bread God was more powerful than the Demon King. Whether or not the Bread God is more powerful than Void is seemingly up to debate, as the two factions clash.

The Bread Cult is the cult that has been most adamant about having Ember join, but she refused.

#### The Food Cult

The Bread Cult evolved or became a subsection of the Food Cult when it was claimed that the Bread God is more than just the Bread God but is the God of all food and can possess each and every piece of food, and even the fire that burns it. Whether these claims are true are unknown.

The Food Cult has stated that they are at peace with Beecracy because bees are cute and make honey, and they also claim that the Bee God is more powerful than the Food God.

### The Order of Sunrise/Cult of Noctus

The Order of Sunrise or Cult of Noctus, who claims to be more of a political faction than a cult, worships Void, the Father of all Gods, also referred to simply as The Father. They praise the night and make peace with those who follow the truth. The Order of Sunrise also apparently has control over the six elements of reality, and The Father can choose to invest his power into anyone he pleases. The Order seems to be the most organized of the factions, and as such, it may be hard to keep up with how they are organized.

### The Keepers of Bababoi

Though every member seems to spell the name of this faction differently, the Keepers were formed after Ember joked that her voices would make a cult of bababoi since Caleb was spamming it so much through his soundboard. Responding to this, the Keepers of Bababoi were formed, and they claim to serve as the connection between the world of SMP Proximity and the world of the voices.

### Cult of Confusion

This cult was jokingly formed as one of the voices was very confused about what was going on as they stumbled into some of the Food Cult's antics. They worship the God of Confusion and seem to support the Food Cult.

### Ember Cult

This cult has popped up a few times, but Ember always tries to immediately shut it down, claiming that she is no deity and should not be worshipped in any way. Those who are members though stay, saying that no matter who the Gods of the other cults and organizations are, Ember herself is the most powerful. They have not had conflicts with any of the other factions, perhaps because the voices all seem to agree, though they have also not had any alliances.
