#cotl new faith

[awful-little-goose]

Your Lamb is EXACTLY as scary as I expected from you and this delights me. I'm assuming their cultists love/fear them greatly; can you tell us what life is like in their cult?

Teehee!! Thank you!! I love giving herbivores some fucked up carnivore mouth, I’m basic like that 🥴

Also, I like to call my version of the lamb Baaa-Lamb (like Balam, the demon- again, im basic like that)

In my game, I tried to have a coherent narrative throughout the beliefs of my cult, the idea being “to die is merely to be birthed once more”, leading to practices that encourage reusing dead bodies, revering the elderly (close to death) and the newborns (freshly birthed again) and more

This means that cannibalism is a very casual act, as well as composting bodies: everything, every part of a community member must be fed back to the community

However, the lamb plays favorites in plain sight: the closest of lovers, beloved children, most trusted friends and most loyal cultists are buried and honored, and may even dream of being revived. Those have been only few, through the centuries

Most cultists end up either as food (especially those who were appreciated, like hard workers, or those with useful skills or traits), or compost

The lamb has established a firm believe in reincarnation: all children born in the cult are people that died in the cult, and are to be revered and adored. Well, more specifically: those who are reincarnated are those who have worked the hardest, been the bravest, etc etc. Those who failed to satisfy The Lamb have their souls merged to the earth of the cult’s grounds, their energy fed back into all that grows there…but again, that’s what the lamb tells everyone. In reality, they keep all reaped souls for themselves, gluttonously feasting on them…only few have actually been reincarnated (one a century)

Elderly people are welcomed, but often become food in cannibalistic feasts, or end up being sacrificed on the altar, or are the center of unruly celebrations…often leading to possession. Everyone is useful in the cult of this Lamb!

To be in this lamb’s cult means living every day being on your toes : wether they’re thinking up the best way to congratulate you, or the most cruel way to punish you is impossible to tell, thanks to their blank expression and empty eyes

Rewards range from more luxurious tents, gifts, celebratory dances with the lamb, invitations to the confessional and such

Punishments, however, can include being shackled until starvation arrives, being driven insane or possessed, or eaten alive by hungry fellow members, depending on the “crime” committed…not that the lamb is completely clear as to what’s allowed and what isn’t

they may be on good terms now, but Narinder still isn't used to Ratau's fatherly tendencies.

Mama lamb concept

(Sorry for lack of art I’ve been playing the update HEHEHE)

More art for my COTL AU! Still trying to think of better AU names, if you didn't see the last post, current AU name is Bishops of the New Faith

This time i did a ref sheet for Narinder! Featuring his bishop design, follower design and his Witness design :>

In this AU, after spending a few years in the cult, Narinder eventually becomes Styx's (the lamb's) Witness.

While imprisoned in this AU he keeps his bishop robe because I think it looks cool.

Narinder is declawed in this AU, which i decided to add thanks to Unholy Alliance's new bishop relic, Narinder's Claw. Since we now have more info on the sealing of Narinder, he's do no evil and his bishop item is a full claw, not just a shed outer claw, I think it thematically makes sense :>

His robe in the second image is based on the Enforcer of the Old Faith robe, which I put all of my disciples in in my actual cotl save files ^^

Two hours, one snack break and 12 attempts later this stupid death cat is mine! I'll give my cohesive thoughts on the game later, for now enjoy the wedding photos!

So, that new trailer, huh…

Since a Goat character has now been confirmed for the next update, I’m announcing them as the protagonist of my upcoming AU, “The Pact of the New Faith!” I have personally named them Mahomet as a reference to Baphomet. Here is their design as the ‘Apprentice of War’ in that AU; I will post more information about that soon, since it seems to be the perfect time to do so.

Have a great evening and see you soon!

Shamura?

I got a question.

So what would happen if one of the old gods managed to get a vessel?

Like what would theoretically happen?

(I assumed this question was made regarding the au I’m working on, aka the lamb looking for new vessels for the crowns of the old faith)

When you are immortal you have all the time in the world to learn new skills.

How it started vs how its going: Mortality is Nari's fresh start, his new life and chance to experience what its like to breathe and be present.

Posting this now but will probably post it again whenever i finish all five bishops of the new faith, but here's the design for the Lamb in COTL: Bishops of the new faith AU!

Lmk I'd you have any better names for the AU btw,, basically the bishops get replaced and it causes Problems

The tall version is Styx's bishop form, and the short is their follower form

Styx uses They/Them pronouns
