The Cult of the Envenomed

"In pain one can learn and evolve, Pain can be a release, Though sensation is perceived as negative the pain is proof of life, Life and growth all come with pain so is pain not vital.  To deny this is to stagnate, To stagnate is to accept the abyss, Nothingness, In pain we save beings from the abyss, Finally In pain we see truth, Only in pain can we know what we are, Only in times of suffering we know what we would do, Our truth is not revealed in light, it is revealed in darkness, In the deepest shadow of the night we are made anew, In the darkest part of the night, in the height of our agnonies we are cut open and unvealed in full." Tenents of Pain and belonging.

Tenets of Faith

1. To recieve pain is to be blessed. 2. To suffer is to be closer to divinity. 3. To die is to fail in enduring the pain. 4. To live is to spread enlightenment through pain. 5. Only in pain can anyone become more and better than they are.

Priesthood

The Ecclisiarch, has suffered under the knives of each of his priest, in that they prove themselves. They also are strangely connected in some corrupted way to something that shows visions. Whether this is something greater or madness it has proved effacacious.  There are circle of necortised skin with the nerves flared at all times, neonates have 1 ring, acolytes 2 ring priests 3 to 5 and the Ecclisiarch have 9 rings.

"Agony is essential, Pain is transcendence, Torture remains the method."
