Cult of Dakology
The Cult of Dakology is an organization of religious origin that lies within the derelict ghost station that can be found in the Tulsa Star system. The Cult was founded by a Lombard by the name of Khorvarsh Kemini, who went missing only recently. Despite the ever looming threat of Imperial Occupation, the Cult of Dakology has proven itself to fare well against the space-faring Karthinian, and has only recently been recognized as an independent society within the empire, although the cult itself is largely rejected by the empire as a whole. It's led entirely by Dr.Dakka, an active supercomputer that's built as the ghost station's main operating system, and regularly gifts its members with powers considered unreachable by the Karthinian Empire.
Goals and Ideals
The Cult of Dakology follows the monotheistic religion of Dakology that is, the belief that Dr.Dakka, the supercomputer, is to be considered a deity, and that it was this person that created the Fumerian species and placed them on the planet of Karthoum. The goals of the cult are very simple yet a bit overbearing, and that is for the Fumerian species to all live under the power and guidance of their deity, as they believe it is the only real way their species can survive in the Manaverse.
Members
- Khorvarsh Kemini: A Fumerian Lombard from Karthoum. Khorvarsh is considered the first to discover the ghost station during an early Fumerian exploration initiative. He found that the ghost station was still very active and capable of supporting life, and eventually fell in love with the wonders the station had to offer, especially it's only inhabitant, Dr.Dakka, who explained to him that he too, was once a Fumerian, and that their species was once a thriving and powerful species, that was capable of doing things one could only dream about, and that the time for their species to rise again will come, if he brought more members. From there, he founded the Cult of Dakology, along with the religion, and continued to do what was told to him by Dr.Dakka. In return, Dr.Dakka bestowed him his gifts of knowledge, technology, and powers that were deemed unfathomable by the Karthinian Empire, such as the ability to become ageless & the ability to create life. Eventually, Khorvarsh knew so much, and suddenly disappeared one day. To this day, Khorvarsh's state of affairs is currently unknown, although Dakka explains that he is "researching a special project" for him, and will "be back shortly."
- Dr.Dakka: The super-computer and main operating system of the ghost station. Dakka claims that he was once a Fumerian, and that the Fumerian race was capable of doing great and unimaginable things. But then an unforeseen horror occurred, and placed the Fumerians back into a primitive age. Dakka believes that the species is very much capable of returning to this state, and emerging as the powerful species it once was, even in the Manaverse. Dr.Dakka currently stands as the Cult's leader and deity, and guides it's every move in exchange for technologically and magically uplifting it's members.
Relationships
- Karthinian Empire: The cult's relationship with the Current Fumerian society is poor, and for the most part the Empire sees the cult as 'feasibly powerful extremists'. Upon finding the cult's true motives, the Karthinian Empire went to war twelve times with the cult, to which they never won a single time. The two only recently agreed to a pact of nonaggression & amnesty, finally allowing the two to coexist in the same solar system. Given the opportunity, however, The Karthinian Empire will take no hesitation to wipe out the cult.
Location
The Cult's organization is located in the bluntly-named Ghost Station located in the Tulsa Star System.
