JoiningPresentation to a high priest, or impressing one of that station. PurposeTerritorial Dominance:The purpose of The Cult of Scale and Bone is to establish control over what one views as their territory, and to do so with dominance if not terror. One's territory could be of this world, the realms invisible, or their own home. The Grand King emboldens this behavior, and reverence is paid by various symbols carved into what you claim as yours. RelicThe Grand King's Tooth: The worship of dinosaurs is centered around the tooth of The Grand King. A dinosaur unearthed some fifty years ago by an unknown entity long since dead. The Tooth itself is bound to a hilt by leather, and several First Tongue glyphs have been carved into either side of the tooth. In truth the item is keyed to a massive if not ancient spirit bound to a place that isn't within the spirit world. Use of the Tooth during the cult's rites summons an apparition of this great spirit for its blessings. DoctrineDinosaurs were once the dominant force on this planet. Mighty beasts that would live on as legends, and the Cult of Scale and Bone seeks to emulate them in spirit if not in action. Dutifully watch over what you consider yours above all else. To do otherwise is to invite personal destruction. Never back down from a treat unless your life is on the line, and repay such transgressions in kind when you can reclaim what's rightfully yours. Don't lower yourself to those well beneath you: there are better things you can do. CultistsHunters of any kind, guardians of sacred places, defenders of their kith and kin, boastful fighters and soldiers. RitualsCarving a glyph (typically in the shape of a dinosaur) into your own skin; carving a glyph into your property; ritual, dancing combat (typically involving the mimicked movements and violence of dinosaurs); marking yourself with blood before a violent encounter; hunting dangerous prey with nothing more than your bare hands or simple tools (spears are fine, guns aren't) Benefits• The Scent of Truth: Distinguishing friend from foe is most important and one of the first things a cultists learns. They gain an Empathy specialty for Intentions. If they already have the specialty they instead receive Area of Expertise for the specialty.
