If my vote counts, then +1
New original faction style as well as original backstory tied to the city, and recent enough other people could actually corroborate aspects of it.
Wish it had more cult content included in the story, but its probably bc from my perspective most cults don't necessarily promote their ritualistic or ceremonial practices. I am actually really excited for the retainer system to employ its members, I hope it actually works out by maintaining members who actually get paid to work for the organization, and not the other way around
Loads of opportunity, though I think the backstory is likely the weakest link of this application simply bc the community seems to want to actually see the rituals and human sacrifices being mentioned or happening. Thank you everyone thus far for the feedback.
