Heretics be warned as you enter these lands.

Welcome to Disciples of The Old Faith: A Cult of The Lamb AU

Set a little over a millenia in the past, The Old Faith have found steady reign in their lands for eons. With fewer and fewer threats to their biblical grip upon the mortals of the land, they entrust a select few in their ranks to maintain their flock. However, it is now where the strength of bonds begin to fray as one begins to stray from the few to become The One.
