The Bacchic dancers are beings of primal revelry, obsessed with life and indulging deeply in its pleasures. Originating in Greece as a Dionysian cult, they expressed their devotion through drug-fuelled ecstasy and frenzied dances that often ended in sacrificial offerings. These rituals burned away the hardship of their worshipper's lives, transforming them into devout followers reborn in the dancer's image. These revellers remained hidden, even to other Roses, until an Elder woke from torpor towards the conclusion of the Long Night.
