HɅSHMɅLVM – MASQUƐRADƐ

Some say that it is a secret masked ball for the affluent and well-to-do, where business deals are pursued and made. Some whisper that it is an extra-dimensional Goetian soiree, with quite similar goings-on.
In the Old Malmok lighthouse, on the Isle of Bonaire, a closed gathering happens once in every age for the tempted and the desperate. In their company are those who would otherwise refrain from this world.
Upon invite, the daring few who present themselves seek auspicious fortune in exchange for great sacrifice. This is the tale of a man and an embracing goddess of night, and her malevolent twin sister’s subsequent dethroning.
“She held illimitable dominion by ghastly caste, perhaps borne of Babel or Ishtar all long past, and again She said as if rehearsed, ‘this Tonight we were cursed’.”

HɅSHMɅLVM – Leonine

Alterf, Algenubi, Denebola, Subra, Zosma, Coxa, Adhafera, Regulus, Rasalas. These are the ancient names of the nearly forgotten Leonine, a sky-fallen pride of powerful beings with lion-like features now but a haze of myth and legend, who, during key moments in time, had both aided and tormented mankind since its infancy. And then, they were gone.

The only reliable information on their existence is an infinitesimal fragment of the once whole and has become merely an indignity to their archaic former glory. I have dedicated my scholarly life to the collection and study of all available lore and holy scripts and the practice of related magicks and rituals. I believe their return draws near and that they bring with them compassionate acts and deeds most unkind.

Welcome to the Cult of the Leonine.
