Nälkä Faith

A group that performs rituals to kidnap people and recreate them as monsters or structures of flesh. To outsiders, they are known as Sarkics.

Their mythology includes Yaldabaoth, an evil god who presides over flesh and the physical body, and the six Archons, subordinate deities who serve him. While the Nälkä believe in their existence, they view them as obstacles to be eventually overcome and surpassed.

Originating in Adytum, a city of the Daeva Empire, Adytum has since been severed from the physical dimension to serve as the Nälkä's base of operations.

Hierarchy

The Orok, referring to the Grand Karcist Ion; the four saints who serve Ion, known as the Klavigars; and the Karcists, a priestly class under the saints. The rest are divided into general believers.

Characters

Lovataar

Former Princess of the Daeva Empire, now a Klavigar. She is Ion's wife and fanatically worships him, sharing a relationship of mutual reliance and love.

A 26-year-old woman with long, dull golden hair, dressed in a dark red Gothic gown. She always carries a rapier modified from a parasol given to her by Ion. After the Ascension ritual, she gained the ability to summon and manipulate black arms.

She once hated Ion for kidnapping her, but became deeply drawn to the Nälkä ideology and, crucially, felt pity and affection for Ion's past and ideals.

Possesses a highly fanatical personality. While warm toward Ion and the believers, she views ordinary people merely as materials for the Great Work or targets for purification.
