Emerging from the Romanian mountains, a mysterious cult group rooted in nefarious ancient Sumerian rituals seeks to undermine and topple the Druid order throughout Europe, in hopes of unleashing an evil entity to achieve power and influence in a new world order. They acquire this power through brutal rituals sacrificing Druid members whose life forces become absorbed by the cultists. From the shadows of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania emerges a sinister cult steeped in perverse ancient rituals. This mysterious sect seeks to topple the ancient traditions upheld by the Druid order across Europe. Traces of their origins point to heretical Sumerian practices dating back over 6,000 years, from a time when dark rites involving human sacrifice and demonic invocation were commonplace. They temper these profane rituals with a fanatical belief system tied to Transylvanian folklore and vampiric legend. Initiates spread like a cancer through Romani communities along the remote mountain passes bordering Transylvania. Behind their benign fronts as unassuming normal business people, they recruit the disaffected outcasts of society. Slowly, nefariously, they erode the Druid strongholds from the edges inward, weakening their magical protections. Their ultimate goal is to unleash an ancient evil - a primordial being who promises them power and immortality in a new world order with the cultists at the top. From the forgotten brutalities of Sumerian times to the modern darkness taking root behind the rustic Romany settlements...this is a dangerous foe plotting the downfall of the benign keepers of nature's balance. At the heart of the cult's sinister aims is a profane ritual that channels the life force of slain Druids into the initiates. By brutally sacrificing the protectors of the old ways, they believe they will break the ancient magic that preserves harmony with nature. Killing a Druid requires exploiting their oath to uphold peace. Cult assassins first kidnap and savagely torture innocent Romani villagers to goad the Druids into breaking nonviolence in order to rescue them. When the peacekeepers predictably intervene, the cult springs a deadly trap aided by demons bound to their will. Only by desecrating righteous Druids can new acolytes gain diabolic powers and ascending ranks within the sect. The sacrificed Druid victims are then dismembered and consumed in a gory sacrament, their bones ground into talismans. Cult magicians ingest the blood, flesh and bonemeal in a vile perversion of Druidic oneness with the natural world. Having corrupted nature's protectors into instruments of unholy power, the shadowy cult grows in dark might. With each successful killing, their Nexus Ritual siphons residual Druid magic into the cult, the old world decaying as a new order arises. The cabal’s endgame is to eradicate the Druids completely, severing the last tie binding their primal patron to its infernal exile. | |
