Spinner Cult

Spinner Cult

While some Spinner cults are isolationist, just as many have woven themselves and their families into the thread of large cities. Regardless, such acolytes were pressured to be constantly alert to any small omen or sign of prophecy and to take them very seriously, and this pressure most likely still sticks with them long afterwards.

These cults are almost always started by a central figure who claims to have received a vision from the Fate Spinner herself. In rare cases,they may have even crossed over accidentally into the Silver Hollows and been sent back on a mission from the Fate Spinner or have communicated with one of her servants, such as a fateholder . Just as often, however, these central figures have no genuine tie to the Mother of Law and build the cult with the presumption that their devotion in starting a cult will be rewarded with visions. A member’s relationship to this central figure, who may have even changed or been replaced over their time in the cult, will heavily reflect their feelings on this past.

These cults are often cutthroat and confrontational. Those who follow the Fate Spinner know that only a slim fraction of them truly have a kind fate to look forward to, and as such, they sabotage one another and compete ruthlessly in search of signs that will prove they are one of the lucky few who will reach enlightenment. In truth, this prophecy is often self-fulfilling, as their willingness to sell one another out is most often their downfall. Much as large groups of spiders will devour one another, Spinner cults are held back by their own infighting.

Characters raised in spinner cults share a variety of traits in common with one another.

Necessary Skills. Survival in these cults is often dependent on the individual’s ability to spot even the flimsiest supposed omen and to anticipate (or obfuscate) betrayal. You gain proficiency in either Deception or Insight and either Investigation or Perception.

Cold Read. Getting ahead in Spinner cults often involves a carefully-applied mix of trickery and showmanship to appear prescient. When you first meet someone new and interact with them personally for at least 1 minute, you can ask the Narrator one question about them. This question must be a surface-level question about their personality or life, such as “do they have children?”, “what do they think of the Duke?”, or “what do they want right now?”. You have advantage on the next Deception, Persuasion or Insight check you make that uses this knowledge to benefit you.

Discreetly Armed. Even while armed, you know how to be discreet and nonthreatening. You gain an expertise die on checks made to persuade others to let you remain armed or to conceal weapons or items about your person.

Oracular Talent. You know one Divination cantrip or 1st-level Divination spell of your choice. If you choose a 1st-level spell, you can cast it once without spending a spell slot or providing material components, and must finish a long rest before you can do so again. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence or Wisdom (whichever is highest).

Languages. You speak, read, write and sign in Common and Undercommon
