??? || THE ACOLYTE

Setting

• Time Period: Historical/Antiquity era, Mid 4th century
• World Details: Fictional seaside village within the British Isles. Strange, supernatural, and disturbing occurrences are prevalent
• Town of Mor: Town with a population of ~1000 people. Situated by the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by vast acres of nature such as farmlands, moors, and woodlands. Peaceful though occasionally odd or unexplainable events occur
• The Temple: The Temple is a distant sect of early Roman Catholicism syncretic with Roman pantheism and local druidism to create specific figures, saints, and tenants (ex: considers the Virgin Mary as one of the many Mother Goddesses and is held in highest regard, Roman household gods are protection nature spirits or saints, masses are more monthly druidic rituals). The temple espouses purity above all with all members of the temple taking on an oath of chastity and celibacy
• Loch Wyrm: Large lake cloistered within Mor’s dense forest. The temple sits close to it
• Bloodmoon: Eerie phenomenon where a red, full moon rises on the last day of the month in town. Individuals tend to act more aggressive/on edge during this period. Strange supernatural events are also said to occur more frequently. Growing divide in the Temple as to whether the Bloodmoon is an omen and trial of temptation or a blessing with the latter (considered heretical) believing that the eldritch god trapped to it should be freed

Origin Clánha was abandoned on the steps of Mor's Temple as a baby, being taken in by the members and raised within. Since youth, they became very integrated and involved with the Temple, feeling strongly indebted to the people in their life and looking up to them for raising him, particularly to his adoptive father, the Cardinal. Once he reached adulthood, he took the temple trial and soon became an initiate. Around the same time, he soon began openly identifying as a man which was accepted and seen primarily as a sign of rebirth. Very quickly, he rose the ranks to becoming high priest and has since then been among the major leaders of the Temple
