#cult of the lamb the fanatic

[crownsandbishops]

So Shamura, have you heard of the one called the fanatic?

[Long Post. Canon typical violence and blood]

Scars. Or "Kallamar and how he got his terror of death"

[bandagegirl]

SCREAMS LOUDLY. IT IS DONE. ALL TEN TABLETS OF THE GREAT FANATIC.

The text on the last picture is unused but I simply had to include it. This snake was so intensely devoted to Chemach, it's tragic what happened to the two.

It's been a while since I did any fanart, but Cult of the Lamb got me! I've been spending my days between playing it, sleeping and drawing things for AON, so I thought it would be fair to draw something for it!

Maybe I'll post more things for it later, but for now, have this dancing/fighting Lamb!

Fervour's Opposite

Red.

The color of blood and fire. Wrath and violence. The color of Fervour. The color of Lamb's Crown.

Until it's not.

Cyan.

Otherwise known as "light blue". Taking up residence in the space between green and 'true' blue; opposite to red. Close cousin to turquoise...

Spirits are purple, Devotion is white, Corruption is black, and ill-intentions are green. Orange is... something. But we've yet to see cyan in action, what would be Fervour's counterpart. Which is odd for something that is the second-most present color on the tarot cards.

And it's clearly a color that's part of the Red Crown's toolkit, yet it's not one that manifests through the Lamb, while red and white do.

So... what is the opposite of Fervour? I suppose, first...

What is Fervour?

Fervour is the physical manifestation of the devotion directed towards rival Gods. It's likely the exact same as normal (white) devotion, Lamb just perceives it differently because it's not for them. And while it can't be used to trigger Divine Inspiration (a deity channeling itself through the vessel), it can be used for magic. Primarily curses, but it's also utilized in the Heavy Attacks and when healing using the Fleece of Fervour's Favor.

The only deity we know of that can use Fervour to trigger Divine Inspiration is the Great Fanatic, via the use of the Zealous Weapons. Which signals something about the deity he so fervently worships... but that's a topic for another time.

Fervour is: -harvested from slain enemies -the zeal of one's foes [Fervour's Harvest] -one's own malicious intent [Strength From Within] -resilience [Strength From Without] -representative of physical life (Bios/Shinzou) -the fire in Kudaai's forge -associated with the moon [Fervour's Host] -associated with the Fowler

Therefore, Fervour's opposite should be: -harvested from allies (slain? living?) -one's ally's apathy/insincerity -one's own benevolent intent -characterized by rigidity, fragility, and/or vulnerability -representative of spiritual life (Psuche/Kokoro) -associated with water -associated with the sun

Fervour's association with Righteousness would also mean that its opposite is associated with Sinfulness. (wink wink, nudge) What is apathetic devotion? Insincere devotion? After thinking it over for ages, I came to a conclusion.

Where there is passion, there is indifference. Where there is desire, there is disinterest. Where there is earnestness, there is indecision.

Fervour's opposite is Ambivalence.

'Of or relating to the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing that individual in opposite directions.'

Blood vs. Water. The blood of the covenant vs the water of the womb. Fire vs. Ice. The Hearts vs. The Lovers. Hunger vs. Satiation. Damnation vs. Blessings.

What is taken vs. What is given.

An entity that, though kind, inspires mixed feelings. Feelings that likely stem directly from that entity's poor emotional/mental strength in the face of adversity. The physical manifestation of contradiction.

And while there is no weapon set that aligns with Ambivalence, the Curse of the Tundra and the Icegore seem to be where cyan lies.

Going to be spoilerposting the cotl unholy alliance update, SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

Probably the first post of many to come

first of all. Hi. they added the heart on leshy's bandage from that one short. i don't know what the activation conditions are on it though (i have him as both a disciple and spouse so)

Second, I got Kallamar's quest first but you get to heal the bishop's wounds. Not in a curing the disability kind of way, but as Kallamar said "scars are better than wounds", and i might explode because that's one of the premises of my AUs (albeit through a different process, though generally following the same sort of character development that the in-game version of events implies) and it's just cool to see this in the game

the wheel of fortune reversed indicates a disruption in the natural order, a lack of control in a change that is likely to be unwelcome.

@bandagegirl is heavy inspo for the great fanatic design! theyre a red milksnake :]

“This is the Fated One…?”

[thewitchoftheweed]

Narinder jumps backward and barely avoids another swing of the ram’s massive ax. Azrael was always a large animal, but the Harpies have modified him to be even bigger and deadlier. That means a larger reach and even more powerful ax swings. Narinder isn’t sure what’ll happen to him if his former vessel gets a fatal hit in, but it can’t be anything good. It might automatically force him into the afterlife— and he’ll be stuck for good, until Hamal manages to recover his remains.

If they bother to. In my opinion, you’re more trouble than you’re worth.

“Can you shut up!” Narinder snaps, leaping to stay out of the Fanatic’s massive reach. “I am trying to fo—”

Azrael cuts him off with a fireball hurled toward his face.
