Children of the King

The **Children of the King**, also known as the **Church of the True King** is a religious cult/neo-pagan religion that was formed sometime during the Fall of the Roman Empire. It is the brainchild of an unknown former Roman soldier who claimed to have had a vision of the "One True King" who claimed that he was grieved by the human race and wanted to destroy a large portion of the human race, but save a small portion of humanity to "restart civilization." He accumulated numerous followers and eventually created a massive religious movement that eventually began to rival Christianity.

In the 21st century, the Children of the King has been labeled a terrorist organization due to its involvement in human sacrifice rituals and serial killings, as well as acts of terrorism.
In late 2019, it was revealed that the "One True King" that the Children of the King worshipped was actually Slenderman.

In 2020, the Children of the King was revealed to be a white supremacist hate group, believing that all people of color are "corrupted humans" who are the result of genetic mutations, and that only white people are genetically pure.

## Beliefs

### Ideology

The Children of the King is a neo-pagan cult that believes in a "One True King" who hates humanity, but at the same time wishes to preserve a portion of the very race he hates to create a new civilization. They believe in one god, a "One True King", also known as "King Messiah" or the "One God", who saw a majority of humanity as a parasite infesting the planet and wanted to "cleanse" a select group of people to repopulate the Earth, while the One True King killed the rest. The Children of the King is similar to the Church of Euthanasia in that they believe procreation is a sin, seeing that Earth is corrupt already with the multitudes of evil humans. In particular, they believe that the "True Human Race" is the so-called "White Race" and that all people of color are "false humans". They blame the different races of humanity on genetic mutations that "corrupted" people and that their very existence is a crime against humanity. This forms part of their motives for hate crimes against people of color, similar to the Neo-Aryan Brethren.

### Salvation

In the theology of the Children of the King, salvation is done by placing one's faith in the One True King or King Messiah, which also means voluntarily giving up one's personhood in order to become a "vessel" for the One True King to use to kill other people or themselves. This is a grotesque distortion of the Christian concept of "taking one's cross and following Jesus Christ."  For the Children of the King, death is a gateway to eternity and is considered the greatest victory. They also believe that babies secretly hate being born (arguing that babies cry at birth out of their hatred of being conceived) and therefore would rather die than to be born into this world as a result. This is another key reason why the Children of the King sees abortion as a "gift from the King Messiah."

## Religious practices

### Festival of Death

The most notorious religious festival is a one-week festival dedicated solely towards brutal murder, known as the "Festival of Death". Using a concept similar to *The Purge* franchise, the Festival of Death (also known as "Death Fest") is one week of total hedonism and mass murder and mayhem, with utter disregard for the law. The festival occurs during the week of Christmas in December. The reasoning behind this holiday that literally glorifies murder is that people can use one week to "purge" themselves of their sins and "do a good service" for the King Messiah by killing the "false humans" in their community.

### Day of Sacrifice

Another notorious religious festival is an event known as the "Day of Sacrifice", where young people who are in the cult are chose to be killed as a sacrifice to the Children of the King. It occurs concurrently with the Festival of Death and is meant to be an offering to the King Messiah so that he can bless all murderous activities during the Festival of Death. The victims are "preordained" (chosen at random) by the church leaders.
