"OWO of the Last Days" [COTL Au] MASTER POST
βA smile welcomed us, to it we swore loyalty. Warmth and happiness shows, because it provides everything we need. Capable of ferocious acts,it contains fangs that tear and eyes that see everythingβ.
Cult of the Lamb Alternate Universe inspired by my playthrough and that follows the story of my "lamb":
The False Prophet
Finally! A compilation of the information needed to understand my story: important links and a list of relevant tags. *Timeline will be linked as well!
Important Notes:
This story has been told through mini-comics, illustrations, and asks.
It isn't draw chronologically, so not all moments are, or will be, drawn (I'll be adding parts as I draw them, so check the timeline from time to time).
That said, all the information is under the cut!
General tag: #owo of the last days
πΈTIMELINE [X]
"The False Prophet" [FP]
πΈNo-Name-know // Also know as "Leader" "The Lamb", "The Red Crown Bearer" πΈthey-them (Non-binary) πΈLamb? (Fox in sheep clothing) πΈChaotic Good πΈAro-Ace
Charismatic, gentle and cheerful with their cult; a complete beast in the crusades. Obsessed with "pretty" things (decorations, flowers, etc...) and having a large flock; no one outside (and some inside) of the cult seems to notice that they are clearly wearing a costume. How they became the bearer of the red crown is unknown for everyone not involved.
The FP doesn't have a custom tag considering they appear in 99% of the posts of the story.
Relevant asks:
"Has the false prophet ever talked to anyone?"
"Why of all the fleeces, you prefer to use the white??"
"How does the fox see with that sheep mask on?"
Β "What weapon and curse are their favorite?"
"Does anyone know the truth about them?"
"Is the fox-lamb and THE fox related in any way?"
"Is TOWW chill with his "vessel"'s new look?"
"is the false lamb good at pelt making?"
"Is your crownbearer running around naked all the time?"
"How does your lamb take care of the bishops, do they have resentments?"
πΈThe colors of the cult are orange, cream & gold [like the fur and wool of the leader].
πΈThe main symbol of the cult is "OWO", which is found in all the ornaments, carvings, banners, tapestries and tunics (of the followers).
Followers Robes
"Life in the cult is pleasant, everyone has what they need and more. The leader listens to everyone's requests and is responsible for keeping all needs satisfied"
πΈFollowers are encouraged to live peacefully, indulge their whims, and be happy. The leader is usually willing to grant any wish, as long as it doesn't endanger the life of any follower, isn't malicious nor harmful.
πΈThe main belief indoctrinated in the cult is that of "The Eternal Cycle" and that every being reincarnates after death.
The Eternal Cycle
*Extra: "(...)What can or can't the False Prophet do?"
πΈ The main rule of the cult is that no one can kill a follower. Related to this point, violence and resurrection are frowned upon.
Relevant Cult & Follower's related asks:
"How do the FP treat the followers at the cult?"
"What is one thing that would get your followers put to death immediately?" + "What is the diet of the cult like?"
"If two followers fistfight, are they mad at both of them?"
"The βlambβ cares for every follower? Even the jerky ones?"
"How does the false prophet deal with sin and damnation?"
"Your lamb believes in reincarnation and seeks out the reincarnation of specific followers. Are they right?"
Relevant common followers:
The Famous Gals & The Quartet
The First Sinners
The Pubben Bois & The Gold Hearts
Shamura's Karma
The First Followers
πΈThe original group of the first 6 followers who promised eternal loyalty to the False Prophet and that they would be their eternal companions in their subsequent reincarnations.
πΈOnly this group is sought out and brought back into the cult by the False Prophet. Other followers are beloved, but only serve for one lifespan. *[Caretakers are included in the future]
The First Spouse: Yuki
Tag: #Yuki cotl
Symbol of a beautiful beginning.
πΈFirst follower to join the cult πΈPlatonic companion of the False Prophet and their main anchor to the mortal plane. πΈThe "Spouse" title is only given to a reincarnation of Yuki.
Yuki Reincarnations are an excellent point of reference for understanding the chronology of my story, considering the consistency of her use of the skull necklace, which makes each Yuki have a lifespan of around 100-120 years.

Kept their identity hidden by being sheared during the time it took for the Bishops & Narinder to be defeated (Their wool was used to make the FP hood). Good Friend with the False Prophet and a follower by their own free will.

"Once brought back to life and integrated into the cult, those who were once deities themselves have been reduced to mere mortals condemned to immortality. At their side, a caretaker in charge of keeping them in line, helping with their integration and, perhaps, a punishment in itself."

"The Collector" [God of Cycles]
πΈGod title acquired πΈthey-them (Non-binary) πΈClearly a fox but keep the wool cloak πΈChaotic Good πΈAro-Ace
Bishops defeated and Narinder dethroned; the power is theirs to take and use as they see fit. No longer wear the costume, but still like to call themselves a lamb. They seem to never stop smiling and generally have a relaxed demeanor most of the time. Know as for their love for collecting "pretty" things (objects, nature, or living beings), taking pride in keeping them in "perfect condition"
The Collector doesn't have a custom tag considering they are fairly new to the story timeline.
"Why is that the false prophet and the red crown changed so much on their god form?"
"The Reason" Comic: Part 1 , Part 2, Part 3 , Part 4 , Extra
[X]
Ratau: 1 , 2
πΈIt's unknown whether he truly did not notice the change at first or simply did not question anything because of his faith in TOWW. The FP usually visits to play knucklebones with him and his friends. He is Inmortal the same way the Lamb is [crown magic]
Forneus: 1 , 2 ,3 ,4
πΈAn ally of the cult; the FP is very fond of her and enjoys visiting her. They didn't hesitate to return her children to her as soon as the opportunity arose.
Sozo: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4
πΈThe False Prophet never liked Sozo in life, they didn't care about his death and basically just planted the mushroom because they wanted it for their collection. While Sozo was eventually cured, the leader never liked him, so as soon as he died, he wasn't granted a grave but used as fertilizer for the fields.

This post will be updated as the story progresses!
If there are any blank spaces, it's because I have drawing ideas that I haven't done yet that go there.
