Draft:Followers of Asica

Members of the cult worship Asica, a goddess of destruction. They study the cult's holy book (the Book of Asica), spreading a message of doom and apocalypse. However, they are most famous for abducting travelers and adventurers in the Uncivilized Area, using them to perform various brutal rites described in the Book in the hopes of pleasing Asica or requesting her favors. These rites include blood rituals, burning gunpowder (to form a ring of fire, a holy symbol), abductions, forced conversions, as well as torture, mutilation, and sacrifices.
