Difference between revisions of "Eschaton Experiment"

The '''Eschaton Experiment''' was originally conceived by [[Dion de Vermiis]] and considered to be an exercise in intellect. During the [[Burning Times]], the [[Ashtan|Ashtani]] and [[Thera|Theran]] cabals gathered under the direction of [[Ezekial]] to perform the experiment in hopes of combating the increased persecution and outright slaughter of [[occultist|occultic]] practitioners by the [[Church]]. At the apex of the ritual, after all had gathered and committed their personal [[karma]] toward the endeavour, both Ezekial and the experiment were lost. Deemed a failure, the experiment left the occultists both leaderless and powerless, and a schism developed between the remaining members. Lord [[Luxsyth]] quickly preyed upon the occultists' fears of the imminent danger presented by the Church and gathered as many occultists as he could to his side to research [[Necromancy]] for his mother, [[Belladona (vampiress)|Belladona]]. Those who remained loyal and waited for Ezekial's return became the [[Keepers of the Fountainhead]]. Luxsyth quickly enacted his own program to consolidate power, eradicating the other faction and sparing only those dedicated to his and his mother's vision of escaping death.
