The dead in They take on different forms.

THE SHAMANS

The shamans are the ancient priests that once served as a link between the living and the dead in the temple and now serve as the cult’s emissaries. They speak for the cult and in the voices of the dead. They take sexual pleasure in tearing down boundaries and remind the faithful that everything is ritual.

They correspond to the beasts carved into the temple walls 10,000 years ago. Remnants of this tradition can still be seen in folk costumes in Eastern Europe - with their fur robes and animal heads. And in the work of artists such as Hieronymous Bosch and Leonora Carrington.

THE ANCIENTS

The ancients are the dead long forgotten. Featureless encrusted robes sticking to withered bone and sinew. The ancients will haunt you.

THE RECENTS

The recently dead and the living cultists are those you might once have considered friends, but whose eyes are now vacant. They all seem the same and they all seem absent. They claim that they have found true and profound peace. But they don’t smell right. And they are relentless and ruthless in breaking everyone else down until they the cult.
