Race

Horror: You are some kind of bizarre, alien being, wearing the skin of a
human - perhaps a mind flayer, a cursed pendant, or something far stranger.
Your cult exists to draw upon the life force of these lesser mortals. When
a Chosen One dies, you heal 1d4+1 damage.

Alignment

Lawful: Fulfill a promise to a believer.

Bonds

I want Mr. Atlantic to join my cult.
Dr. Galen von Zieglas doesn't trust me, and I don't trust them.
Bishop will bring about the end of days. I have seen it.
_______________ is a member of my cult.

Your Cult

• Your followers know you as The Shining One.
• Your Chosen Ones are known as The Scribes of Silence.
• Other followers are known as Blessed Listeners.
• Before joining, your cultists were Judges, Lawyers, Watchmen, 
Lawgivers in general.
• Now they are Keepers of Secrets.
• Your cult worships The Silent God.

Starting moves

The Chosen Ones

You begin the game with 3-cult. Each 1-cult you hold represents a Chosen One, a fanatical
believer who will do anything you ask. When you give a command to a Chosen One, 
they will follow it without question - you take the 10+ result on Loyalty checks without 
rolling. When you mark 1-ration, your Chosen Ones are also fed
 Your cult may have any number of followers at a time, but you only have as many Chosen 
Ones as you hold cult. When one of your Chose Ones dies, you lose 1-cult. 
When a move tells you to sacrifice 1-cult, one of your Chosen Ones leaves you 
- either dead or feeling lost and betrayed, the GM will tell you which.
Lost followers are easily replaced. When you spend some downtime in a populated 
area, set your cult at 3. You qualify for the Outstanding Warrants move in any 
area you have used this move in. Each of your Chosen Ones have a single Hireling skill
at +1.
Choose each Chosen Ones' skill when you gain that Chosen One.

Dark Ritual

When you draw on a place of power to create a magical effect, tell the GM what you’re
trying to achieve. Ritual effects are always possible, but the GM will give you one to four
of the following conditions:
• It can only be performed at a certain time on a certain date
• It will require extensive setup
• It will require a blood sacrifice from someone.
• The ritual will forward a Dark Portent
• The ritual's methods are twisted and cruel
• The best you can do is a twisted version, unreliable and strange
• Something will use the ritual as a gateway

Stay Close
When you have a Chosen One within arm's reach and someone rolls a 7-9 on Defy Danger,
you may sacrifice 1-cult to allow them to take the 10+ result

Stay There
When you use a Chosen One to distract an enemy, you may sacrifice 1-cult to allow
someone to take +1d6 forward to damage against that enemy

Whispers in Darkness (WIS)
When you reveal the dark truths of the world to a fragile mind, roll +WIS. On a 10+,
choose three. On a 7-9, choose two. On a 6-, choose one, but the GM also chooses one
to inflict upon you.
• If a Hand or Close weapon is available, they deal their damage to themselves with it.
• They tear at their protections and take -1 ongoing to armor until it is repaired.
• They fall to their knees and weep.
• They don't lash out wildly at you before the truth sinks in

Advanced Moves

Divine Realization

Gain one non-multiclass move from the Priest/Cleric or Druid class list, OR
gain a move from any class list as if you were one level lower than you are.
(Priest->Invocation)

Invocation

When you call out for your deity's aid in a time of need, choose a Blessing and roll +WIS.
On a 10+, your deity will intervene on your behalf - the GM will tell you how. On a 7-9,
your deity will grant your Blessing, but you will also need to choose a Requirement.
Blessing
• Your invocation manipulates the realm your deity Controls.
• Your invocation commands something your deity Represents.
• Your invocation bolsters your deity's Worshippers.
• Your invocation rebukes your deity's Enemies.
Requirement
• Your invocation is obvious and immediate, drawing attention to you.
• The intervention is subtle or takes a while to manifest.
• Your deity demands something in return. The GM will tell you what.
• The divine experience leaves you dizzy with euphoria (or terror). You take -1 ongoing
to Invoke until you have time to pray quietly for a while.
