Culture

The culture of Tyrant's Chosen, is steeped in secrecy, darkness, and the pursuit of personal power. Members are taught to revere cruelty, treachery, and the pursuit of their own desires above all else. Rituals and ceremonies often involve dark magic, blood sacrifices, and acts of malevolence as offerings to appease Pheros and gain his favor.   Loyalty to the cult is paramount, and betrayal is met with severe consequences.

The culture is one of fear and ambition, where every member strives to prove their dedication to Pheros and rise through the ranks, knowing that only the most ruthless and cunning will earn the Dark Lord's ultimate favor.

Mythology & Lore

According to their beliefs, Pheros is an ancient and malevolent deity who once walked the mortal realms, spreading suffering and tyranny wherever he went. He is said to have forged pacts with dark powers, granting him immense infernal abilities and dominion over the darkest depths of Hell.   The cult's mythology tells of Pheros's insatiable hunger for power and his unquenchable thirst for the souls of the wicked. It is believed that he feeds on the suffering and malevolence of mortals, growing stronger with each act of cruelty and treachery committed in his name. Members of the cult aspire to emulate their dark lord, seeking to accumulate power, sow chaos, and invoke his favor. The cult's mythology also includes tales of infernal bargains, where members can call upon Pheros for power and knowledge in exchange for their unwavering loyalty and the souls of the damned. These bargains often come with dire consequences, as Pheros is believed to revel in the suffering of those who dare to invoke his name.   Overall, the mythology of the Tyrant's Chosen is one of darkness, chaos, and the relentless pursuit of power at any cost. It serves to justify their malevolent actions and to reinforce their devotion to Pheros, the malevolent lord of Hell.

Tenets of Faith

Embrace the Darkness: Followers of Pheros are taught to fully embrace the darkness within themselves and in the world. They believe that darkness is the source of power and that by acknowledging their inner shadows, they become stronger and more attuned to Pheros's malevolent influence.   Sow Chaos and Strife: The cult preaches the doctrine of sowing chaos and strife wherever they go. They believe that by perpetuating discord and upheaval, they are carrying out Pheros's will and furthering his dominion over the mortal realm. Members are encouraged to engage in acts of manipulation, deception, and treachery to achieve these ends.   Offer Souls to the Abyss: Central to the faith of the Tyrant's Chosen is the belief that souls are the currency of power in Pheros's domain. They are taught to seek out and corrupt the souls of the wicked, offering them to the abyss in rituals of dark devotion. The more souls they can deliver to their dark lord, the more favor and infernal power they can hope to receive in return.
