>>28749011Here's a copy-paste of the stuff she's said about it before. I assume you're the Kindred working on that piece about the Kadet who gets indoctrinated? This might be useful for you then, just so you have a clearer picture of how the other Kindred who visit /vtwbg/ a little more frequently are picturing the cult.
>Were you imagining entire villages within the kingdom that had already been completely overtaken by cultists?I was, yes. I was imagining sort of fringe villages that pop up along the border/the outskirts of the larger kingdom and largely keep to themselves, allowing villagers from other places, wanderers, and travelers to come to them first as I talked about yesterday. Like a venus flytrap, I guess??? Lmao. Essentially I was imagining an entire village that serves as sort of the central hub of the cult and they’re pretty self-contained, and villagers from the outside call for its exile and pillaging because they believe they’re a threat to the Kindred or that they’re misrepresenting Milord’s image. Conversely, the cult believes what you said— that getting to bear Vox’s child is the highest honor of all and that they just can’t believe there are people in the world who don’t want that.
In my mind, it's not nearly as physically widespread as its influence might have you believe. A sort of "vocal minority" situation where they're just so well-known and feared/admired/respected/hated (depending on who you ask) that their presence is a little overstated. In my mind, it's all confined to like, a single isolated village of about 200-500 people which is, of course, a really small number in comparison to an entire kingdom. I think because their existence is talked about so much, whether it's a warning from the clergy or a rumor from a wandering traveler, it makes it feel like there's more of them than there are, but their influence isn't to be understimated and they have been growing exponentially…
