Structure
The Disciples of Pain, an enigmatic cult devoted to Zon-Kuthon, operate under a strict hierarchical organization. At the top of the cult's structure is the High Painmaster, a sinister figure who holds absolute authority and is believed to have direct communion with Zon-Kuthon himself. Below the High Painmaster are the Painlords, influential leaders who oversee specific aspects of the cult's operations, such as rituals, recruitment, and spreading their dark influence. The rank and file members are known as Painbringers, initiates who undergo rigorous trials and inflictions to prove their dedication to Zon-Kuthon.
Culture
The culture of the Disciples of Pain revolves around pain, suffering, and the pursuit of darkness. They believe that only through enduring agony and embracing the shadows within can one achieve true enlightenment. Ritualistic self-flagellation, body modification, and acts of cruelty are common practices among the cultists. They view pain as a transformative force, a means to transcend mortal limitations and commune with Zon-Kuthon's divine essence. The cult fosters a sense of camaraderie among its members, with a shared devotion to their twisted deity and a collective goal of spreading their dark influence.
History
The history of the Disciples of Pain is shrouded in mystery and whispers. It is said that the cult originated in the depths of Eggport, born from the darkest corners of the city's underbelly. Over the years, their influence has grown, infiltrating various aspects of Eggport's society. They have carefully cultivated a network of followers and devotees, drawing in those who yearn for the forbidden knowledge and power promised by Zon-Kuthon.
