The Far Star Cult, also known as the Far Star Temple, is dedicated to the care of advanced cases of
oortic poisoning. By inviting and allowing the sufferers to worship the
Oort Cloud, they are able to supervise and support them through a troubled life. These individuals are often amnesiac, terrorized by nightmares both when awake and asleep, and driven by a desire to collect what makes them sick.
Cultist Caretaking
At the Far Star Temple, the sufferers are able to participate in rituals and rites that help them to connect with eachother and process their visions, and they are encouraged to join in group therapy. The cultists cook their own meals and help to maintain their own temples, shrines and accommodation.
The Far Star Cult encourages the cultists to develop hobbies like crafts or amateur astronomy, and sells the products to help fund the cult. Beaded jewelry and beautifully illuminated celestial handbooks are only some of the products made and sold by the Far Star Temple. More dangerous self-expression like oortic iconography and religious creeds are enabled but not distributed.
Cultists in the Far Star Cult are kept far away from
Oortite and other oortic materials.
Volunteer Priests
Most of the priesthood of the Far Star Cult are volunteer workers who help to guide and supervise the cultists. A handful of cultists have also been allowed to join the priesthood by showing a devotion to the wellbeing of their fellow cultists. Each volunteer priest has monthly consultations with their doctor to monitor for signs of oortic poisoning.
Quite a sweet place. As odd as it sounds.
Thank you, they're making the best of things.
