Menagerie - Sundered Flesh and Twisted Realities: The cult of the Menagerie is a cavalcade of madmen, sorcerers, insane schemers, deranged murderers, and the sculptors of flesh known as the Revelators, who are its masterminds. They are all without doubt true believers in their cause, fanatical adherents to a creed almost incomprehensible to outsiders. Their beliefs are focused around the mystery of the revelations that they have been exposed to and the wonders and beauty of unrestrained physical and mental change.They plot endlessly to bring about a "great revelation" so all of Humanity can receive the blessings of the sights they have seen. They commit seemingly random acts of violence and destruction, forcing events into one pattern or another, and spark outbreaks of madness and misery by their actions. With the fervour of true converts, they take great delight in sharing their "gifts" with others, often spawning a genuine menagerie of warped creatures and pets, many formerly Human, in the process.The Chaos Cult possesses an insane certainty in the rightness of its cause and is more than willing to make sacrifices in the pursuit of its goals. The cult members are able to maintain a veil of secrecy through their power to change flesh, tamper with minds, and even warp space to their desire. By these means, the cult hides itself from outside eyes and avoids direct confrontation with the Imperial authorities (unless it should wish it).In the past, the cult has been encountered lurking behind fronts such as theatres, hostelries, and venues in run-down areas or at the edges of the underhive. The cult has even been found behind sanatoria, alms houses that cater to the dregs of Humanity, side shows, and (savouring the irony) even true menageries and exhibits of more commonplace beasts and alien creatures.These false fronts serve to conceal the most foully changed of the cult's numbers and allows it to select its victims from those unfortunate enough to stumble across one of its lesser "performances." Operating in accordance with an unfathomable plan and timetable of its own twisted devising, the cult reaches out and draws particular victims to it, manipulating minds and perhaps even the flow of fate itself to draw them in.These chosen victims, the "favoured" as the cult names them, have been selected to carry out some part of the Menagerie's great and secret purposes, and seldom realise just what has befallen them. Most will go about their business, seemingly normal but horrifically changed within. However, they are unwitting pawns of the cult's conspiracies and living weapons in the service of the Revelator who has remade them.Such is the duplicity and labyrinthine skill of the Menagerie that often no one connects the diverse victims to having attended a given performance of a play or having visited a carnival where they became separated from friends for a time. Even someone collapsing drunk or drugged in a certain location, waking solar days later with no recall of what befell them in between, is ignored. Each act of inflicted madness is but one part of a grander design reaching out across time and space to an unknown but doubtless malign conclusion. However, whether they work to achieve some dark end or prevent one, none save perhaps the Revelators know.
