'''Religious Sect:''' The Resuscitant Order
 
'''Religious Sect:''' The Resuscitant Order
 
 
==Background==
 
The Resuscitant Order attracts promising adepts by offering them succor, faith, and a life of purpose, yet 'somehow', their initial purifying rites are always intruded upon by agents of corruption. So it was when a trio of Resuscitants came to Anise's hometown, tracing the trail left by a plague-blessed*; they took up residence in the abandoned temple of Syren in the mainly flax-growing village. Anise, a weaver-daughter, had taken an interest in the newcomers, and decided to leave with them. As they were administering the rites of admittance, angry townsfolk battered down the rotten door of the chapel and attacked. In the chaos, many of the crazed townsfolk were slain, including Anise's childhood friend Tark - by her own hand. Horrified, she rushed out with her now-fellow cultists and found out madness raging through the town. Zia, an alchemist, noticed black flecks in a discarded loaf of bread, and rushed to the town granary to find an incredible infestation of ergot had grown apparently overnight. Eventually they found the plague-blessed, but after it had contaminated the artifact that had kept the town's fields wet and fertile against growing desert. The few survivors would be left with almost nothing, and Anise swore vengeance against the corrupt powers on behalf of her village. All may not have been as it seemed. After all the Order gained a powerful artifact that just needed to be purified...
 
 
Anise serves in memory of Syren, goddess of music, dance, weaving, and tailoring. She's much more cheerful than the the typical Templar, as befits the former divinity she seeks to renew. But when faced with the forces of corruption, she gets just as vicious as any - her vendetta runs deep.
 
 
*A creature, often but not necessarily sapient, that has been exposed to rarified malaise that causes its body to bloat and deform as it harbors all sorts of plagues, sometimes even whole new ones.
