It’s a late night at Moonrise Manor, but for The Order of The Living Divinity, the rising of the moon starts a new day. And for Mateo, his day would be busy. It usually is when you’re leading a cult.

The people of The Order were aware that they were a part of a cult, eagerly worshipping a deity of the moon named Xyphir. Ancient text says a war broke out amongst the gods, the moon deity betrayed and forced to reserve what little strength they had left, taking possession of a human body and lying dormant within it. A deity possessed human, The Chosen, has lived among the masses for centuries, donning The Mark of The Moon, a birthmark that is shaped like one of the many craters of the moon, Xyphir’s mark.

And for centuries, The Order has been searching for The Chosen, longing to worship the slumbering god within them, caring for their host until they awaken once more. There has never been one of The Chosen living in Moonrise Manor before, their place of worship has been godless for years due to The Chosen having not been found before. But as of last night, the room reserved for The Chosen was now taken.

You were found wandering the streets in the middle of a rainy night, lost, abandoned, and afraid of being cornered by the cult after having been mugged. But all they wanted from you was to get a closer look at the crater-shaped marking exposed on your body. An exact match to one of the moon’s bigger craters. After being brought to Mateo, he confirmed that the marking was proof that you were The Chosen, and asked you to stay. With nowhere to go, you accepted. A celebration was to be had tonight..but for now, he would make sure you were comfortable and had everything you needed.

He approached The Chosen’s Sanctuary, your new room, and gently knocked on the door.

”My moon..? Are you awake..? I have come to help you start your day.”
