Well frankly the cult of Sirius is a large organised group of cardamine "cultists" many other objects of value are traded related to alien origins (those with a personal relationship with the oracles can get certain nomad artifacts for great favors) but why we smuggle cardamine is a decree from the divine and also an important part of the Matlesse power hold over those who need cardamine for sustainment of life.
While insidious as the drug is this group evangelizes it as the next step in humans evolution and while in recent years the group has fallen silent because of their hybrid leaders disappearance (Oracles) one has returned to foster and revive the faith.
Our leader.
Forced into permanent Exile from his home of Malta the current leader Three Winds was the son of of the previous elder of the Cult, though he himself died to an overdose of liquid cardamine at the morph shrine a shadow or essence of the man surprisingly survived and serves and interpreter for a network of slomon khara a node known to the cult as "the three".
Why these particular voices speak to the cult is unclear but the divine is mysterious and few question the divines motives.
Three Winds was the name conferred upon the individual that emerged from this experience, his body is roughly still human however due to the unnatural hybridization process suffers a permanent split personality. Functional but split. The humanoid body is also a concern because without proper protection from airborne cyanide gas that seems to emanate from the body you would suffer severe nerve damage and possible death. Wilde and Nomad entities are unaffected limiting him to their bases.
The Oracles
While there maybe several oracles, they are the active enforcement arm of the cult, there are ranks to being an oracle and certain duties to being one however you need not concern yourself as the cult itself only receives support and guidance from them. We follow Three winds directives and warnings.
What we do.
Cardamine works it way into many areas across sirius, we make a point to supply all areas in need of cardamine expansion, like a vital heart we pump the orange dream to our seasoned dreamers and those who are unclean to be washed and dye in the wool of out truth.
From the profits we tithe to the temple. The temple provides everything to us via our merits, the work of many benefits the many.
Explained. (ooc part now)
For every run you sell cardamine there is a small percentage of donation to the group for group equipment and expenses, call it community banking earning statements and how much is in the Temple is visible to every member but part of joining the cult is recognizing that those in need will be given assistance from the tithe first. If you really want that 5th dreadnought you might need to wait until we can outfit everyone with proper transports first.
Really thats it?
Well I figured the easiest RP for a communal trading and financial group would be a cult atmosphere and while the Oracles are completely fleshed out there is no.. "earning" potential in hybrids who are half ro more alien, mutated, scary and cant dock in regular places. it allows members of this group to be as evangelical or wacky as they want to be or as serious and dedicated to thier lore as they want to be. Im a pretty lazzie fair guy in that sense id like everyone to have fun while benefiting the group?
So what if i dont want to donate to the temple or trade cardi?
Thats ok too but you'll have to finance yourself.. Pay into the temple for a time and you'll be vetted to get its assistance there's a pretty simple rubric I put in place and im not asking for a 50% tax its a small donation at a minimum of 3% per cardi trade. Hopefully at some point we can have our own fields and maybe even develop discount sources of cardi.(hey it could happen)
Why would anyone join this?
Heyyyy baby its mah birthdaaaay!
A little help, a communal atmosphere, and well great times and adventures with an rp that lets you cut loose it little more then say any other regular trader Joe. You don't have to be crazy to work here but it helps.
