History
The cult of the dead is one of the first believer in the creator of the infected. Originally from the northern territories, the cult grew in numbers of people against the king and his action. However, the cult ideology changed when the originally king of Hona Karis was alive and was the reason why the infected came to the lands. The cult declared war on Hona can had many skirmish battle with them. But, during "The Siege of Karistan" the cult was destroyed and was split into four different groups. However "the Chosen Ones of Luck" would become the successor due to banding all the cultist together.
Disbandment
The cult was destroyed during "the siege of Karistan". While large in numbers the Hona held strong and gained reinforcements from the north, the cult leader was slaughter and his lieutenant took charge. Sadly he would die in a sacrifice charge to help fleeing members. A captain would later take charge but would dissolve the cult and create the main cult,"the Chosen Ones of Luck". They would become the next strongest cult and gather destroyed members together to form the chosen ones of luck.
Divine Origins
The origins of the religion would come from the north, as someone claimed he met god that told him "the truth". People began joining it for safety as theirs teaching and beliefs started forming around this deity. However, it gained larger support due to their who created the infected and claimed it happened due to their king. Many people began doing brutal rituals and harsh beliefs. However, it was as influence under the cult of the dead rule as the Chosen Ones of Luck would change it a bit and improve it for the people.
Cosmological Views
Members believe their god lived on earth which use to be a wasteland, he was bored so he created life and his most proud being humans. However, humans became greedy, destroying everything in their path. With anger their god created the infected as they spread. One day, a man saw him as he made him deal: If he would kill the greedy king and follow his requests he will make the world normal. With 3 years they grew up the northern regions as they have to sacrifice people and work hard for the name of their god. However, at "the battle of the walls" they would be forced back where nature would grow wild.
Tenets of Faith
Ethics
Worship
For the common people who could worship everyday was called " a blood for our creator" where people could kill an animal or small cuts for their god and let it touch the ground so their god could feel it.
For the warriors is called " dead for a living" where they take no believer and slaughter them draining a bit of their blood, they would later send the corpse to infected for reanimating. However, both could do it and their many other way others worship from a come prayer ( sitting on your needs and putting both hands on your forehead and say " their love in dead and glory in truth, please help guide us in the wind) or to large feast.
However most famous ritual that happens every year is the "forge of life" where they would slaughter imprisoned kids and send they corpse to the mountains for unknown reasons, it's believed that it would help more rain come and that it would give them strength.
"Sacrifice blood for strength, as for one life gives an other strength for survival."Cult leader
