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.

Change of Heart

d8Change of Heart
1I witnessed a particularly gruesome rite and ran for my life.
2I botched a ritual which slaughtered other members of my circle. Only I survived.
3I asked the wrong kind of questions. The others planned to sacrifice me, but I escaped.
4Adventurers hunted down my brethren, and only I was able to escape.
5The other cultists disappeared through a portal to a land of unspeakable horrors. Terrified, I stayed behind.
6The others took their own lives to ascend. I could not.
7I no longer believed in what we were doing. It seemed wrong, somehow.
8A friend or family member rescued me, taking me away by force.
