Cult of The Usurper



Uthelex, known to many by his epithet The Usurper, is an Outer God in The Old Gods Mythos. They act as a messenger between the human plain of existence and that of The Old Gods. They have been known to appear before many humans giving them messages of divine purpose in the hopes that in return they will be worshipped as one of The Old Gods and gain the power needed to break free of there subservient role.

The Cult of the Usurper belief is a religion that may or may not originate from the Sanctuary, with it's actual origins being unclear. The core philosophical nature of the Cult of the Usurper is that of gain of power an overthrowing those of the old regime. The ideal stems from the concept that only the strongest may rule and whenever weakness in those in power is shown those with greater power must take their place and such natural order is to be obeyed; else, the very structure of society and civilization will break down.

Followers of the Cult of the Usurper believe that through prayer, offerings and gain of personal power, that their god, Uthelex, will be able to gain the power to overthrow the old gods, reurn to the wolrd as its protector and bring about divine protection for their followers. Currently no known places are seen to follow this obscure religion but it is believed that some small underground resistance movements may follow it in the hopes that it will help in their own quest for power.
