Short periods of drug-induced ecstatic transcendence. Prayer and fasting.

Hierarchy

Cult world headquarters ("The Prismatic Guild") are in Quarina. There are no permanent temples; meetings occur in clergies' homes. Minimal hierarchy.

Worshipper Stipulations

Believe that the three cult founders are immortal demigods who act as intermediaries with all gods except The Prismatic Sentry. Cultivate a personal relationship with the three founders through daily prayer and minor ritual.

Clerical Stipulations

Upon acceptance to the pastorate, new clergy must ingest a profoundly addictive and regulated drug, Vijaya. After this, they must never take it again. This way, they will feel constant longing for conjoining with the Divine. Clergy must provide worship and meeting space in their own homes.
