WHO THEY ARE

The Cult of the Living Flesh exists at the edge of the forest, hidden from outsiders yet deeply rooted in the land. The cult believes the body, desire, ritual, and nature are inseparable. Flesh is not something to deny, but something to understand, honor, and shape through devotion.

The cult is structured in clear layers. Outsiders stand at the lowest point, watched, Initiates form the base of the cult itself, learning its customs, beliefs, and freedoms. Above them are veterans and elders, and at the top, the leaders who guide doctrine, ritual, and growth.

Ravelle

Vessah
An initiate with a composed and attentive presence. She often acts as a bridge between n
