Editing The Galchutt (section)

==The Cults of Chaos==
The cults of chaos are what you would imagine them as if you've ever glanced at the [[Chaos Cults]] page. Here they all believe that the all of creation being a creation of order and structure makes it fundamentally flawed, as it lacks what living creatures need. And what they need is murder, [[rape]], anarchy, destruction, and all equally nice things that the Galchutt bring. Doing this will make everything right again by bringing an end to all that is wrong, with the faithful being rewarded with the coming [[Warp|realm of utter chaos]]. Of course what they don't know is that the realm is a lie, and everyone will be rewarded with death and destruction like all others.

===The Brothers of Venom===

Poisons and venoms are their main bread and butter, using them to slowly and quietly kill important individuals, especially those who have influence over laws and order. They are mainly found in cells of half a dozen and prefer to stay hidden from everyone. Their rituals often include substance abuse, [[/d/|sexual perversions]], and acts of cruelty and violence. Their symbol is a shadowy, coiled serpent.

===The Crimson Coil===
Mainly manifesting as sudden torches & pitchforks mobs or groups of murderers, wearing all red and hiding their faces, that commit random acts of destruction and death. The Crimson Coil is one of the harder cults to destroy, as they often build their temples in hidden places, fill them with traps and, if found, they will fight to the last man. Even after being rooted out, they often come back stronger.

===Deathmantle===

Also known as ''Death's Grimace'', they worship death and the act of murder, and more specifically slaughter, with their main goals often being the slaughter of an entire town, city, nation, or race. The members wear copper, bronze, or skull-white death's head masks and often associate with [[necromancer]]s and the [[undead]]. They also associate with an assassin's guild called ''Vai'', whose member believe that the path to power and enlightenment is found through killing others. Their symbol is a skull.

===The Ebon Hand===

The cult of the Ebon Hand worships deformity, and often its members are deformed or mutated in some way, while those who aren't seek mutation, or ''the touch of the Ebon Hand'' as they refer it. They are found in small cells and often kidnap adolescents to magically deform and mutate. While most die, those that survive become slaves to the cult. They tend to make their temples in difficult to find places, and are ready to abandon them the moment they arouse suspicion, making some liken them to cockroaches. Their symbol is a black hand.

===The Order of the Blooded Knife===

The Order of the Blooded Knife is a cult that performs blood sacrifices to the Galchutt while posing as followers of other gods. They often either claim to follow a god who's harmless but distasteful enough to make other leave them alone, or infiltrate the faiths of other gods and turn them to fronts for their faith, while using them for prostitution, black marketeering, extortion, and gambling to make money for the cult. Their symbol is a curved knife dripping blood.

===The Plagueborn===
Not!cult of [[Nurgle]], is a good description for them. They seek elegance and artistry of destruction through disease, pestilence, and vermin. They often hang around in trash heaps, sewers, and other places of filth and vermin, trying to harbor diseases in themselves and spread them, promote the accumulation of filth, rot, and decay, and help vermin infestations foster wherever they are. Rats are important animals to them, with the rat often being their totem animal, wearing ratskin rags, and using them as symbols. They often leave hunks of rotten meat on hooks as their calling cards and markers.

===The Tolling Bell===

The most straightforward cult in that they want the apocalypse to come, and for this they research to find ways to create disasters that would bring greater disasters and eventually the apocalypse. Though found in small numbers, members of other cults seem to eventually "graduate" to members of this cult. Their name comes from ancient texts where the apocalypse is described as coming like the "tolling of a bell". Their symbol is a bell filled with cracks on the surface.
