Cults
From Circle Of The Crone
Revision as of 03:43, 29 April 2006
All Circle coteries are effectively cults. Some, however, are dedicated exclusively to obscure or unique religious practices. Some coterie cults act as religious advisors for all Acolytes in the city, sometimes forming into complex relationships of tangled authority and overlapping holy nights. Other coteries practices observances that are so far removed from the covenant's traditions as to be unrecognizable -- possibly even going so far as to invent new gods.
It's not uncommon for each of the coteries in a region to worship subtle variations of the same goddess. In such cases, individual coteries take responsbility for certain ceremonial rites. A coterie's status within the covenant can hinge on the quality of the observances it prepares for all covenant members.
