In the Hive City of Keltist, the cult known as The Human Ascension is dedicated to claiming the might once held by the Aeldari through their connection with Chaos. Perhaps a mistaken version of events, but belief is a strong force, and the cultists believe deeply. Their worship of the Primordial Truth shall lead them on a winding path; perhaps they shall find what they seek, perhaps not.

Riot your way to rebellion, Chaos, and probably a painful death.

Aaaand that's the vote! It seems you are a cult of Chaos Undivided, forming within the Upper Hive on a Administration World! Books Books Books?

Of note are the 7 votes for Tzeentch (auspicious), 4 for Khorne (halfway there buddy!) and the fact no-one voted for the Pleasure World. What's wrong with a bit of glitz and glam?

Next post should, should be out on Monday, I hope. It'll deal with; choosing what aspect of Chaos Undivided you worship (I promise it'll make sense) as well as a chance to modify Kelt/Keltist a bit, for better and for worse.

On that note, I'm going to finish the vote here. I was afraid all of you would just go straight for the church, so I'm glad to see it was quite close at times.
Next part of this turn may take awhile, but I promise to get it done.

  • [X] Plan The Four Divinities
    -[X] [BibleName] The Fourfold Path
    -[X] [LeaderTitle] The Tetriach
    -[X] [ChaosGods] The four most primal drives and desires, embodied as and empowered as deities. To deny them is to deny the four greatest parts of oneself, to follow only one is to become dangerously unbalanced, but to embrace all four is to embrace enlightenment.
    -[X] [AeldariEmpire] They embraced one of the four, and from it found the strength to prosper- but only for a time.
    -[X] [AeldariFall] They chose to ignore three of the four, believing that the last was all they needed, and were consumed by it in their hubris.
    -[X] [The Emperor] A failure, who sought to rule alone and fell because of it. It matters not whether he is or was a god or a man- what matters is that he stood alone against the four united, and failed.
    -[X] [TheImperium] A bitter remnant of the one's failure. It can be scavenged and harvested for resources and those of worth, but is ultimately nothing but the doomed and dying vestige of the Emperor's hubris.
    -[X] [TheUnilluminated] They are like children, stumbling and ignorant of the truth of the world. They should be educated on and shown the truth of the four- but slowly, carefully, for the immature often fear and misinterpret what they have not yet fully grasped.
    -[X] [NonBelievers] Sick, deluded, or deranged- whatever the answer is, it is obvious that no right-thinking individual could reject the Fourfold Path, and so they must not be right-thinking individuals. They must sadly be euthanized, for their own good, the good of the cult, and the good of the four.
    [X] Plan CheekyBeeky
    -[X] [BibleName] The Empirical Truth
    -[X] [LeaderTitle] Pathfinder <leadername>
    -[X] [Choas Gods] Memetic entities in the warp empowered by belief and actions, currently more akin to Gods due to popular belief denoting them as such. Deals can be made, but Gods are fickle things.
    - [X] [AeldariEmpire] - The deals they made with the Warp
    -[X] [AeldariFall] The Aeldari broke their bargains with the warp and were punished for it by the birth of the Tempter as it was planned by the Aeldari, but went awry in some manner due to their broken bargains.
    -[X] [The Emperor] A man worthy of respect, who needs to be saved lest be become the Fifth without proper guidance towards being helpful towards Humanity. Let's not repeat the Aeldari's mistakes here.
    -[X] [TheImperium] A rotting carcass that needs to be burned so humanity is freed from it.
    -[X] [TheUnilluminated] Innocents, that must be shown the truth
    -[X] [NonBelievers] For their willing blindness, they must die lest they doom us all.
    [X] Plan The Millenarian Future
    - [X] [BibleName]The Millenarian Future
    - [X] [LeaderTitle] Supreme Illuminator
    - [X] [ChaosGods] - Gods, Chaos split into four.
    - [X] [AeldariEmpire] - The deals they made with the Warp
    - [X] [AeldariFall] They were cast down for their inferiority. Only mankind is the chosen of the gods.
    - [X] [The Emperor] A visionary, that tried to ascend humanity as you do now, but went about it by the wrong methods, a man worthy of respect and some amount veneration. But he is not a true god.
    - [X] [TheImperium] - A monster thrashing against all around it, unaware that it is already dead, it must be put out of it's misery so something new may rise in it's place.
    - [X] [TheUnilluminated]-They are the blind and the deaf, some can be saved others cannot.
    - [X] [NonBelievers] They must be destroyed for humanity to thrive.
    [X]plan: We shall light The Way
    -[X] [BibleName] Book of the Acendent Truth
    -[X] [LeaderTitle] Exarch
    -[X] [ChaosGods] The four strongest beings in the Warp, empowered by specific actions/emotions
    -[X] [AeldariEmpire] Their natural psychic powers
    -[X] [AeldariFall] The Aeldari abused their powers, giving shape to a god
    -[X] [The Emperor] A visionary, that tried to ascend humanity as you do now, but went about it by the wrong methods
    -[X] [TheImperium] A rotting carcass that needs to be burned so humanity is freed from it.
    -[X] [TheUnilluminated] Innocents, that must be shown the truth
    -[X] [NonBelievers] The truth must be revealed to them, not matter what.


Vote closed! Plan The Four Divinities won by quite a bit, I quite enjoy it and look forward to writing how it all plays out! I'll add a info post for you beliefs soon, just working on the last part of the turn right now!
