Cult of Eternity and Akasch

Three posts speak of the Cult of Eternity. Two name Akasch: the cult plots the return and venerates Akasch in the form of a giant serpent. The third does not cite Akasch. It speaks of a world without injustice, of an ancient race, and of followers who hide a double life.

A society without injustice

They preach a flawless society, free of all injustice. The same post says that, in truth, they are the most dangerous force plotting the return of Akasch, and it asks for vigilance, because the Cult of Eternity is drawing near. It does not say from where, or when.

Another post opens with a line in quotation marks: “The perfect glory of ten thousand years ago begins again by our hands,” according to @ArcheAgeChron. The cult dreams of rebuilding a new and flawless world, inspired by an ancient civilization free of injustice and of disorder. The two texts repeat the idea of a world without injustice, and neither says whether it is the same plan.

The followers believe themselves to be reincarnations of an ancient race. They hide their double life behind identical tunics and masks, and they communicate only through a few chosen ones. The post does not say what that race is called, nor who the chosen ones are, nor what happened in that glory.

GAP: the ancient race is not named, nor are the chosen ones; the glory of ten thousand years ago is not explained, and the warning that the cult is drawing near gives neither place nor time.

Akasch, god, and serpent

The Cult of Eternity venerates its god, Akasch, in the form of a giant serpent. What seems to some a grotesque and repulsive symbol may be, for them, sacred and beautiful. The post leaves the two views side by side and does not choose.

GAP: this post calls Akasch god, and post 28, in the chapter on the Nakisians, uses Queen Akasch; the texts do not say whether it is the same title.

GAP: prior lore about Akasch would be needed; these posts do not say who that is, beyond the return the cult is plotting and the form of a giant serpent.

Among the images in the post there is a sculpt from the editor: a long-bodied serpent, with scales, on a black background and with the interface in view. The text does not say that this piece is the giant form of Akasch.

Tunics, masks, and a double life

The image of the tunics shows four figures in green and gold, full length. There are masks that cover the face, a hood with a veil, and a bare face under a headdress. The post speaks of identical tunics and masks. It assigns no name, rank, or double life to each figure.

The cult is left between the sermon of a world without injustice and the warning that it is dangerous. Akasch is named in two posts and not in the third. The return is not told.
