	The Cult continues to defend the seals from the Sealbreakers, although a new problem emerges when Drake Kuro [returns from / makes a resurgence after] [...]. He attacks the seal with his dragons, and half of the Cult moves to intercept them by way of Shadow's [[voidcore]]. In a surprising twist, it turns out that the Sealbreakers were in fact waiting to "recruit" Kuro into their ranks due to their aligning interests. They succeeded before moving on to their main objective of destroying the seal. While this is going on, the other half of the Cultists remain back at Cult Headquarters in order to prepare for the arrival of [[Helix]], a former dragon of Drake Kuro who manipulated a resurrected, amnesiac clone of Jason to retrieve the powers of various dragons across Ustream. Having lost his patience after he failed to return to him, he went off toward his next target, resulting in a confrontation with the Cult.

 ==Overview==
 The Cult of Ustream canon acts as a proverbial "melting pot" of other Manaverse canons, including but not limited to [[Euthoran Song (Canon)|Euthoran Song]], [[Oblivion Phantasy]], and [[Hirasu Legacy]]. Most of these are canon to ''Cult of Ustream'' only to a point, after which they diverge into their "main" paths, with the events taking place in the ''Cult of Ustream'' canon being considered a sort of alternate timeline. For example, the beginning of ''[[Fyreborne]]'' is the cutoff point for Euthoran Song, and the background plot of the Oblivion Phantasy plot ''[[Forsaken Malign]]'' splits off into ''Cult of Ustream''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> canon before the actual roleplay begins. Hirasu Legacy is an exception to this; its creator specifically tailored parts of it to directly fall in line with CoU canon.

 ''Season One'' encompasses a period of approximately four and a half months following the defeat of Drake Kuro. During this point in time, the Cult gains several members, including [[Shadow Version 27]], [[Espira Xirro]], [[Valen Scarletburn]], and [[Darius]]. New conflicts begin to arise, including the supposed resolution of Jason's debt with Death and the [[Black Assassin]]'s hunt for [[CrazE]] and his blood relatives. However, a new major conflict arose as an enigmatic group known only as [[The Sealbreakers]] began to destroy [[Seals of Ustream|five seals]] that are scattered across Ustream. It is believed that these seals restrain something of high significance or grave danger, as they are anchors to a spell system that encompasses the entire region of Ustream. Without much difficulty or particular resistance, the Sealbreakers succeed in destroying three of the seals by the end of ''Season One''.

Late in ''Season One'', the Cult is temporarily forced to relocate their base of operations to the Station of Seotara's headquarters in Ustream's north, as Oikeus has claimed dominion of the Cult Headquarters.

 *'''Jason Shaver:''' The current leader of the Cult of Ustream. Jason is a rather solitary hybrid of a Shapeshifter and a dragon. He keeps the close company of Mimring Thunderscale, who is also one of his [[Familiar]]s. He is a dracoimperist with control over two dragons in addition to Mimring. Often reckless and impulsive, his ability to lead is occasionally tested by other members of the Cult. However, Jason is friendly with those who have gained his trust, and is exceedingly loyal to those that he would call a friend.
 *'''Lord X-Giga-X:''' The former second-in-command of the Cult of Ustream. Lord X-Giga-X is a powerful human achlymperist and dracoimperist, often having remained distant to the Cult proper during his tenure. He could frequently be found in his laboratory, conducting a variety of experiments with his own group, [[Organization G-X (Group)|Organization G-X]]. As a result of growing tensions between himself and the Cult of Ustream towards the conclusion of Season One, Lord X-Giga-X defects from the Cult.
-*'''Judas Numidius:''' A notorious Feronite demigod as well as divine messenger hailing from the Osyrhic [[House Numidius]]. He found himself intertwined with the events of the Cult of Ustream, and has stuck around in order to assist them in furthering their goals after having befriended several members, including Valen Scarletburn. Typically rule-abiding, Judas seems to allow things to run their natural course. He has a powerful sense of justice, often standing up for his own beliefs. He maintains the [[Messenger's Memoirs]], and extensive collection of books chronicling events on his journey from his own perspective as well as that of others.

Often considered to be energetic and carefree, he was passionate and enthusiastic in preserving what he thought was morally right, and how to preserve it in the right way. Having hailed from a multi-billion dollar, family-owned research facility on Terra, CrazE's curious nature led him to test a teleporter that had been invented by his older brother. This brought him into the midst of the Cult of Ustream.
