Lambsona AU Notable followers So far -

Poppy the guardian/shepherd dog - the first follower, rescued by the Lamb after they were sacrificed to the bishops and resurrected by the one who waits. A Skeptic, cynical, and against sacrifices, she is the Lambs second hand and their connection to mortality. A motherly figure when the Lamb was lost and confused in a new world.

Amdusias the bagworm- the second follower. A follower mutated by Leshy to try and kill the Lamb. They were defeated and rescued from Darkwood. Faithful and hardworking.

Anna (yellow cat)- the third follower summoned by Ratau. Zealous, faithful, and hot tempered. They have a taste for the flesh of other mortals. Kept in check by the Lamb and Poppy. They want what is best for the Lamb, at any cost and price. What is best for the Lamb in their eyes may not be what is best in reality.

Moss the deer- a green deer rescued from Darkwoods that becomes one of the Lambs first disciples. Works diligently to prove their worth in the cult, perhaps working too hard. Faithful and gullible. Clumsy and well meaning.

Hear the hare- a hare found in Darkwoods after killing their entire village. Zealous, cynical, and faithful. They are insane, and know the darkness in their heart is consuming them. But the lamb gave them a second chance at salvation.

Nana the frog- full of themselves, think they are the most intelligent creature in the world. Gullible and a jerk. They are easy to manipulate if you compliment them and stroke their ego.

Someone get him some Tylenol STAT

I honestly prefer kinder interpretations of Narinder because how do you think he felt about so many (ALL OF THEM) Lambs being hunted down and sacrificed because of his siblings fear of him potentially escaping. How do you think he felt when they made a show of the last Lamb, chained them up and parading them around before sacrificing them. How do you think he felt seeing the last Lamb arrive in chains just like he did a thousand years ago.

There’s a certain point where even the kindest people snap. Do you think an entire race dying out because of your siblings fear of you would be the final straw? The last of its kind being used like a ceremonial piece.

I think Narinder cherished life greatly before everything happened. He wanted to be kind to those he would ultimately serve in the afterlife. Wanted to be there for them in life just as much as death. Maybe he wanted to make the resurrection spell out of love for mortal life. Maybe he was aiming more for something like reincarnation at the time but accidentally fully resurrected someone instead.

Idk where I was going with this! I rambled. But I think Narinder and the Lamb probably have a very close relationship with each other. They see themselves in each other.

They just have terrible communication skills and trauma out the ass. But they would never leave each other’s sides. I don’t think anyone would understand them like they understand each other.

[thedamnedlamb]

I am happy we can agree on Narinder being kind but traumatized.

The reincarnation thing is fun. Maybe he was aiming for souls reincarnating and accidentally resurrected someone. I imagine that the first resurrection was only a success in that it happened. The first resurrection likely went insane or “cursed” as it’s called in game. Being ripped from the afterlife was too much to handle. Especially when it was a complete accident that it happened and still needed refined. Narinder fully pivoted to perfecting resurrection so that cursed mortals would hopefully happen less.

All things considered I think he’s still morally grey even though he’s kind compared to the other bishops. Mortals flocked to him because he promised a good life in comparison, a honorable death and afterlife, possibly even more when researching reincarnation and resurrection. To escape death entirely if they so wished.

His research isn’t the only reason his siblings lashed out against him. He was gaining followers very quickly. He was gaining a tremendous amount of devotion, faith, and power. He became a threat to their followings as more and more flocked to him.

Finally was able to sit down and actually start my Goat run so here’s my Goat’s disciples so far

Pops was the first follower I got this time - he’s a stubborn old dog, but he’s loyal.

Haita was found after their village tried to kill him for being the weakest link

And Mertyl was found amidst the bodies of her attackers, drenched in so much blood the Goat was shocked her fur was still white after that.

Also some more bonus doodles I managed to do before I fell asleep

What would Hastur look like fully eldritch

I have some thoughts about it, trying my hand at monster design again !! CW - Body Horror !!

I sort of tried to lean into some aspects of all the Bishops:

Leshy's pincers = Hastur's split jaw

Shamura's crown

Gaping maw = Heket and Anura

Drowning = Kallamar and Anchordeep

I was also inspired by the split jaws from the Predator movies

[angy-brows]

Recovery ending - “what if” Hastur is re-recruited?

Hastur would rarely speak, barely acknowledge anyone, and spends his days in a sort of listless state.

THIS AU NOW HAS FOUR GODDAMN ENDINGS AUGH

Next wip I'm throwing out unfinished to lower pressure! Narinder's arrival. He was wiped out by colors and sounds and smells and left with 0 will to fight for days. No talking, dazed and mellow. Hiding in the dark a lot, coming out at night to sit and watch the sunsets. He even let the Lamb care for him. Lambie didn't even get to be mad at him.

I really wanted to make this one polished, I'm very much not happy with it. Oh well. I wanted this bit of lore out anyway.

[thedamnedlamb]

My most current play through the cult is called “The Rotten” and I’m turning every follower red to mimic rotten followers in wool haven. Except for the followers I can’t change.

Yarlen is very concerned I’m sure.

[angy-brows]

Can I just say how much I crave to learn more about your characters???

Have some more lore bits

The Lamb - aka Lambert

- They don’t like to read minds; it’s an unpleasant sensation and they feel it’s too invasive. (Game translation: I kept forgetting I could do that lol)

- Before making their own tent, they slept in the attic of the temple; there’s also a cellar beneath the temple they store the archives and supplies for festivals

- Likes to playfully bump their head against their lovers when they’re mildly annoyed; Bessa playfully will bump them back, Narinder bats at their face

- They occasionally have dreams of Woolhaven

Bessa

- She likes to rough house and spar every now and then with Heket or Lambert

- Has a tendency to worry more about others than herself; she’d rather go hungry so others could eat first

- She’s still haunted by the deaths of the people she couldn’t rescue from Darkwood; even the deaths in the cult weigh heavy in her heart

Fear

- Watched the Chaos heretics slaughter his entire family; the Lamb showed up in time to rescue him, but no one else. The second they got back, Fear dropped to his knees and just started wailing until his voice gave out.

- He hates the Bishops, especially Leshy since it was his followers that took his family.

- Fear was the previous Gravekeeper; it gave him more privacy than the rest of the cult given his house was far from the village. He stopped being Gravekeeper after Panamo’s death.

Hastur

- Well read; he mourns the loss of his books since coming to the cult. The Lamb has found a decent amount of books to bring back to him.

- For a good while he’d sleep in the barn away from the rest of the village because it was more private. He still does from time to time, and starts doing it more again after the Bishops start coming to the cult. That hayloft has seen some shit.

- While he’s not scared of it, he hates thunder and the sound of storms. He hates the noise, it keeps him up at night (among other things)

Panamo

- Panamo’s relationship with the other cultists was split; on one hand, they were a great listener and brightened moods during the plague that swept the camp, on the other hand the jerk trait made them an avid prankster

- Had a habit of leaving the cult grounds, but they always came back.

- Was the one who suggested building the confessional booth

Bonus: Goldie & Nona

- Goldie considers herself the eldest of the two sisters. Nona likes to point out that they are, in fact, the same age.

- Nona recently has been harassing the cult’s new doctor to teach her about medicine; Kallamar can feel her father breathing down his neck the entire time

- Goldie’s rarely been outside the cult; the furthest she’s been is Pilgrim’s Passage for ther 18th birthday

More Goldie doodles

I like to listen to “When He Sees Me” from Waitress when I draw her so that’s one of her songs on her playlist

That and:

- “Escapism” by Rebecca Sugar

- “Mary” by American Murder Song
