The Holy Rapture of Rockshambo

Disbandment

Since The Protector's return, and with the loss from an unbreakable oath during the Ritual of Posterity with the Sirens of the West, the organization has disbanded entirely.

Mythology & Lore

The Holy Rapture of Rockshambo is definitely not a cult that follows the practices of Rockshambo, a "reclusive" idol. Their Ritual of Posterity is a practice to determine whose ideology or action to follow at a time of contention. As there is no leader of the group, there is an agreement that whoever wins the ritual, their idea or course of action is the one to take until a new idea surpasses the old in another ritual. It is believed that Rockshambo reveals their favor in determining who still stands after the ritual has been complete.

Divine Origins

No one knows how this organization came into being or quite exactly when.

Cosmological Views

Outside of Sabrandom, the group is little more than an urban legend or a rumor to others across Sentius. At the most, others may be aware of the name or recognize that it carries some weight. Within Sabrandom itself, residents are more aware of the group's presence but whether or not it is real or has any real sway anymore is a better question. There is no record of the origins of the group, but they have been involved in many grabs for power within Sabrandom across history; the Holy Rapture of Rockshambo is not regarded with a positive light. Whether others regard the following with fear, mistrust, or just dismiss them entirely, the general public does not take kindly to references of the organization. When faith in The Church of Protection was at its lowest, the group grew more bold and confident within the bowels of The Radiant Keep.

Tenets of Faith

With no record and no writings associated with the following, their practices are relatively unknown. Save for the carvings produced by the group there are three takeaways:
1. Saxom: We are steady and sure of our path.
2. Carta: We extend oursevles to everyone.
3. Forfex: We bring peace to all around us.

Ethics

Their motives are unknown.

Worship

The imagery of this following includes depticions of their Rituals of Posterity; an extended palm for carta, two fingers held up for forfex, and a closed fix for saxom. These images are carved into amulets, pendants, and large stone faces within their sanctum. Putting blind faith in their god, Rockshambo, their masks are eyeless.

Political Influence & Intrigue

Their motives are unknown: often shifting and changing as each chosen from the Ritual is revealed. They did take part in the Battle of Rockshambo in the year 4280 before disappearing from public eye for hundreds of years.
