Once, perhaps not too long ago, you served alongside your fellow neophytes. You worshiped a dark creature or eldritch being, performed sacraments, and adorned yourself with the suitable tattoos or ceremonial scars. You basked in this dark glory with your fellows, feeling the clarity of purpose that comes with service to a higher power.
You may still serve your cult, or you left them behind in your search for other things. In either case, you have been marked by your connection to dark cults.

| 4 | Adventurers hunted down my brethren, and only I was able to escape. |
| 5 | The other cultists disappeared through a portal to a land of unspeakable horrors. Terrified, I stayed behind. |
