    A Time of Turmoil:

    The temple finds itself at a crossroads. Due to both internal dissent and external threats. After the death of the previous Grand Magister, the Covenant is fractured, with two main factions vying for control of the direction that the Temple takes.

    The Traditionalists: They believe in maintaining the temple’s long-held traditions, focusing on scholarly pursuits and philosophical debates, and continuing to operate in secrecy. They fear that drawing attention to themselves will lead to persecution or corruption.

    The Reformists: They argue that the temple needs to adapt to the modern world, become more active in influencing societal change, and openly promote Luciferian principles as a force for good. They believe the temple is wasting its potential by remaining hidden and insular.

    The Abberant: They are the group that see Lucifer as a one who has enlightened them to be rebels. They have Luciferian knowledge but rather than enlightening themselves, this group tends to be the ones to call unwanted attention to the the Temple of Lucifer.

    A Looming Threat: The Church and various occult organizations suspect the temple’s existence and activities. They see it as a den of heresy and seek to destroy it. Inquisitors and rival covens are actively searching for the temple’s location, and rumors of demonic activity (true or not) are stirring up fear and paranoia in the nearby villages.

  • Possible RP Scenarios:

    New Initiate: You have been drawn to the temple seeking knowledge, power, or a sense of belonging. You must prove your worth to the Obsidian Covenant and decide which faction, if any, to align with.

    Established Temple Member: You have been a member of the temple for some time, perhaps even a junior member of the Obsidian Covenant. You are torn between the Traditionalists, the Reformists and the Abberant and must choose a side to support.

    Outsider/Investigator: You are either sent by S-Clan’s 13th Bureau, the Church or another occult organization to infiltrate the temple and uncover its secrets, or a more neutral scholar seeking rare knowledge.

    Local Villager: Your town is facing strange events, and you suspect the Temple of Lucifer may be the source. You are struggling whether to ignore it, warn others, or stop the temple yourself.

    Possible temple member conflicts:

    The Grand Magister Election: The choice of a new Grand Master could determine the Temple’s future. RP characters must navigate the complex political landscape and influence the outcome.

    The Stolen Artifact: A powerful artifact, said to be a key to unlocking forbidden knowledge, has been stolen from the temple. RolePlayers must track down the thief and recover the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands.

    The Inquisition’s Approach: The Inquisition is getting closer to discovering the temple’s location, and players must work together to defend it (or betray it for personal gain).

    The Village Uprising: The local villagers, driven by fear and superstition, are organizing to attack the temple. RolePlayers must decide whether to defend the temple or try to negotiate a peaceful resolution.

    Inner Conflict: A power grab within the Obsidian Covenant itself threatens to tear the temple apart from the inside. RolePlayers may have to choose between old allies and new ambitions.

    These scenarios provides a rich backdrop for a compelling roleplaying experience, exploring themes such as free will, knowledge vs. faith, the nature of good and evil, and the pursuit of enlightenment. The fractured state of the Obsidian Covenant and the external threats create opportunities for intrigue, betrayal, and difficult moral choices.
