30 Days of Mystery Cult Content

The Disciples of the Worm

First on the billing are the Disciples of the Worm. This sinister necromantic cult has the ultimate goal of mastery over life and death, but keeps its secrets so close that even most of its members are unaware of the ultimate purpose, or of the identities of their fellow initiates.

Coming up for the Disciples of the Worm are two (mostly) fully statted mystagogues: A Verditius necromancer who can act as a junior mystagogue, and a living ghost who possesses the deeper mysteries. A set of initiation scripts are presented for each mystery the cult has, which can act as inspiration or be used as is. Some ideas for “places of power” that can be used in initiations and stories involving the cult are given. Lastly, some ideas for story hooks using the disciples are presented.
