Lovecraftian Religions
Adds the Mythos religion to the pagan group with Faiths under it for various cults. Mythos faiths are generally more permissive in their doctrines and more connected to the occult than mainstream religions, and many of them see insanity as a good thing.
Does not change the faith of any existing character or province, but players can use a one-off decision to change their capital’s faith. This should put conversion within reach, though some characters will need some more effort than others to gather up the Piety.
=== Special Mechanics ===
Cults that embrace madness (Cthulhu, Azathoth, The King in Yellow, Nyarlathotep):
– Delve deeply into the holy texts and become a lunatic. Small chance of other benefits.
Cult of Azathoth:
– Visit the reclusive Shans when taking a pilgrimage to the Severn Valley. Special opportunities await if you invite them into your House.
Esoteric Order of Dagon:
– Fulfill the ancient Covenant by spending your wedding night with a sea monster rather than your wife. (Or, when playing as a woman, react to your husband’s plans to do so.)
– Hybrid children start out only slightly weird, but get progressively worse over time if they live long enough.
– Combine with a breeding program to get to the highest level and enjoy immortality, so long as you don’t have a nervous breakdown force you to leave the surface world forever.
Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign:
– Proclaim the restoration of the Kingdom of Carcosa and lead your brethren to new victories.
Cult of Nyarlathotep:
– Dedicate yourself to a specific god or an aspect of Nyarlathotep for extra bonuses.
Open to sourced suggestions for icons and holy sites.
