Now that we know what Decca's agenda is with the Church of the Elder Gods at DSEC9/Mountain of Madness and Toulan at Pit North, we can at least do our best to resist her veiled attempts at drawing us into her Cult of Shut'thend and a sinister conversion to the dark side. Regardless of how much we know about her efforts to take back control of Monria, and her drive to infiltrate DSEC9 and Toulan, there's no way that I'm going to relax about that because she'll continue to design new ways to manipulate our environments to get what she wants. This is why I reached out to my long-time friend and undercover operative Gothgorath.
| For those who have been following our official lore, you'll know who Goth is, and what his role has been as a supporter of our efforts to fight Decca's evil plans. I can't tell you how important his intel has been toward helping keep us prepared and on alert to what we may face. He revealed himself to me in 2017 in The Kipling Chronicles (Book #1 of 5) in the Monrian Lore series. I was hesitant at first to meet with him after he wouldn't give me more details over comms, but I needed to know who he was and what service it was that he was offering, so I agreed to meet with him at the Cave 2 teleporter. My initial reaction was one of basic shock I guess, but after having a chat with him I was more relaxed and willing to listen to what he had to say. In as simple terms as I can share, Goth is a member of the Cult of Shut'thend and has convinced Decca and her Cultist followers that he worships Cthulhu as they do, which was not an easy feat. In his own words ... "I am a member of the Cult of Shut'thend, but a service member and not an actual Cultist. I can't perform any of the rituals they do, and I don't partake in them. I just assist with duties that are rather menial compared to what they do, but I attend the meetings and take care of their needs while observing and listening. They think I am a Cthulhu worshiper, and I give them every reason to believe that. -- and I know you have had experience with other locations in the universe, but Monria is different because there are purveyors of evil and darkness that cause dimensional rifts that are not only dangerous, but can shift experiential dynamics from status quo to what the hell just happened." |
I think we have had those what the hell just happened moments over the years, and I don't think they'll stop, which is why I called upon Goth to see if he can dig deeper into the Cult to find out anything that would help us become even more prepared and resilient to Decca's attempts to gain back control. He has agreed to do just that, so hopefully he'll be able to share more intel that will give us an advantage going forward.
There's still a great mystery about Goth and why Monria is so important to him, but he told me a long time ago that he will eventually tell his story. I will soon start writing Book #6 in Monrian Lore to close out that era which will lead us to Toulan and then DSEC9, so perhaps during the course of this undertaking his story will be told, and perhaps this will also be the time when I learn who I am in the grander scheme of things that Pinthas has alluded to for far too long.
For now, the question remains ... will we continue to have the resources available to keep Decca at bay, and what will her next move be?
Oh, and .... if you should see Goth about, be sure to thank him for his service toward our well being. He's been a regular player for a long time if not so frequent, but one of our community members who have found themselves within the pages of our official lore like so many other community members. This trend will continue.
