The Conscript of The Eye

Lore:
Not much is known about the eye as a whole, no one knows what the Eye looks like or sounds like other then Baldur, the Supreme Cultist and now Prophet of the Eye after numerous claims of visions. The Prophet Baldur often preaches multiple 'Chapters' of the Conscript, essentially choosing work for each member under different names.

Many of the tales spread by the Prophet are lengthy but easily remembered amongst the members of the Conscript, one such being 'The Black Voyage', being a anthology of Sailors who attempt to cross over the Pupil of the great eye, and each fail miserably and succumb to painful deaths in their foolishness.

The Aforementioned Trials are exceedingly brutal, turning from simply hunting a wild sheep to drinking a gallon of boiling oil. The Prophet blesses the corpses of those that unfortunately fail passage, and cooks them over an eye shaped fire and feeds them to the fish underwater in order to "Continue the cycle"

A recurring belief in the Conscript is the idea of a cyclical motion, quite possibly more prominent then any other theme. The Dead, remains and otherwise are often placed back into the "Cycle" in order to preserve balance. This belief was most likely developed by the obviously circular shape of the pupil and Iris, which also seems to hold cultural significance.

Following Baldurs unfortunate demise at the hands of uneducated thugs, he was remembered and even proclaimed as the first Martyr for the followers of the Eye. The reselection ritual that Baldur had put in place before his death commenced, and the Eye spoke for the first time to another being named Athanos who is much more aggressive in his approach then his predecessor.

Magic
Although most cultists can't perform a single magical act other then create a lick of flame or hit something with the force of a thrown pebble, the more experienced and developed "Viziers" have a terrifying hold over their magic; most notably producing a plume of green smoke that can by manipulated in a number of ways, such as being acidic, transmute small items into other objects for a small amount of time and has the innate and quite interesting effect of being able to see out of the smoke as if you shared its senses. The Prophet and arch cultist hold quite possibly some of the most powerful magic in Eldham, although the Prophet is understandably more powerful; able to use telekinesis and has almost permanent clairvoyance.

Magic access can only be acquired through completing at least 4 trials, equating to 4 lashes on the Eye Tattoo aswell as complete and thorough subservience to the Eye.
