The Fugue Cult is an academy-like faction of Nomads on Euphrosyne. They are a group of science-minded individuals, knowledge seekers, and adrenaline junkies dedicated to studying and operating the anomaly. The faction is led by a figure known as the grandmaster.
They are among the few groups with a deep understanding of the anomaly, rivaling that of Tsiktral itself. Many members of the cult undergo the dangerous operation to become manipulants by connecting mined neurons to their brains.
conflict
Due to their vast knowledge of the anomaly and their ability to perform the highly complex surgeries required to create manipulants, the cult is frequently targeted by hostile forces. Most notably, they are actively hunted by the Blue Palm clan. The clan captures cultists to torture them for secrets regarding the anomaly and technology, or to force them to perform manipulant surgeries on clan members.
operations and funding
To sustain their research and operations, the Fugue Cult frequently buys, scavenges, and uses neurons. They are known to extensively scavenge the fugue for items and technology from the past. They generate most of their funding by selling advanced technology that they have either manufactured or found. Additionally, their unique expertise attracts interest and financial backing from other entities across the planet.
