Church of Decay

"Here, only the worthy shall survive. Will these blood-stained halls be your uprising, or your descent into madness and insanity?" - Church of Decay Discription

What is the "Church of Decay"?
The Church of Decay, often mistakenly called the Cult of Decay, is an Cult that worships the undead Deity Meriken. The god of Dead Chaos. They spend most of their time in game within the Church's halls, preforming divisional duties, gaining karma, and combatting eachother in pvp duels. It is possible to join them through an Initation within the church, however once you join this faction, you cannot join another unless you leave it first. Joining another faction, I.E The Raiders or Sect of Resonence whilst being within the Cult will prompt the player to choose an faction before being forced to retire from both in most cases. They refer to their members as either their ranks, Cultists, or their Brothers and Sisters. And often stay within the rooms/areas where they conduct the most work in. However, newer, divisionless members can often be seen wandering around the church, and peeking into rooms that they are obscured from entering.

"Embracing chaos, the Church of Decay is the army of Meirkien’s chosen, causing destruction and death within every hour. Led by our blighted High Priestess, we will not stop slaughtering anything that opposes us, Gods or people alike. Here, only the worthy shall survive. Will these blood-stained halls be your uprising, or your descent into madness and insanity?

With Meirkien, the Church of Decay shall be above all, and nothing will stop us.

Ave Meirkien." - Church of Decay Discription
