ORIGIN:
The earliest incarnation of the cult appears in the lost histories as the Church of the Amber Throne, founded by an unknown rogue vampire. His objective was to enslave newly evolved humans by presenting himself as a god. To achieve this, he constructed a fabricated religion around a Sapphire Crown, forged from a meteorite, and an Amber Throne, grown over centuries from amber sapphire using techniques long lost. When worn at night, the crown emitted a faint glow, which he claimed granted divine powers.
In truth, he merely demonstrated natural vampiric abilities, reframed as miracles.
To occupy and control his human subjects, the rogue ordered the construction of towering ziggurats, vast temple complexes, and ornate mosaics. All decorated with his manufactured mythology.
The cult expanded too rapidly for its vampire founder to maintain control. Human political factions manipulated lower ranks, leading to widespread abuse of power. Internal rebellion among leadership fractured the cult and the schism escalated into a holy war.
The few survivors fled, carrying fragments of the myth. These fragments later influenced early proto‑Indus cultures and various pre‑classical city‑states. When the cult city finally fell, only two artifacts remained: The Sapphire Crown and The Amber Throne - stolen by unknown thie
Over the following millennia, the crown and throne resurfaced sporadically in minor cults and the private collections of dictators and the wealthy / criminal elite
The most significant reappearance occurred in the Victorian Age, when rogue vampire Doris Chambers located both artifacts and founded a new religion:
The Church of the People of the Blue Sign (PBS).
Doris retained the structure of her predecessors but added an extraterrestrial cosmology:
- The Amber Throne became symbolic of the Amber Gates of Elysium (the Sun).
- The Sapphire Crown became a gift from the King in Blue (Earth’s soul).
- The King in Blue holds the gates open against Oblivion and the demonic Queen in Green (Jupiter).
- Whoever wears the crown and sits the throne is granted immortality and transfiguration.
To “prove” her doctrine, Doris sat upon the throne, placed the crown upon her head, and transformed into mist before her congregation. This was a direct violation of Cabal secrecy law.
After a decade, Doris feared Cabal retaliation and fled to the New World where she established the second incarnation of PBS. She travelled east to west, remaining decades in one state before relocating. Over centuries she identified regions suitable for long‑term bases and adopted organisational strategies inspired by Joseph Campbell and the Mormon Church. She settled primarily on the west coast, favouring southern climates, and opened multiple churches in developing nations as bolt‑holes when Cabal activity increased.
For unknown reasons (to Cabal records), Doris announced her retirement 2199.
Before departing, she declared:
"The King in Blue hath called her to join Him in battle against the Queen in Green."
She then “transcended” — allegedly entering Oblivion to continue the cosmic war.
In truth, she transformed into mist and fled the compound.
Legionnaires from the 2nd Legion intercepted Doris at Sydney Air and Space Port, led by then-initiate, RAUL RYECROFT.
The operation did not proceed as planned. See: The Doris Incident
Ironically, Doris’s escape made her vulnerable. Within the cult, surrounded by constant eyewitnesses, the Cabal would not have attacked her.
Sadly, the Coronal Mass Ejection Impact of 2525 wiped much of PBS's online presence, but we were able to gather the following:
The 3 Tenets to Elysium
The 7 Illuminations
of the Universe
THE FIRST ILLUMINATION
Verily, there are two primal forces that birthed our universe:
Oblivion and Elysium.
Oblivion is the realm of matter — decay and death, rot and stagnation. Elysium is timelessness made manifest: the Universal Soul. In its amber glow dwelleth no pain nor woe, but only joy, love, and transcendence.
Though these primal forces be antithetical, they are entwined; one cannot be without the other. For there is no shadow without light, nor light without the darkness that fleeth before it.
THE SECOND ILLUMINATION
Hark, lift thine eyes to the night sky, and thou shalt behold a glimpse of Elysium’s amber fields — cast like fiery beacons across Oblivion’s ocean.
When a star is wrought, such raw and fearsome power doth rend open a window into Elysium. Through these rifts in the intangible, the celestial amber poureth into Oblivion, pushing back its primordial gloom and bringing the potential of life unto the lifeless.
Lo, each star is a glint of hope, a reminder of what is to come, and what awaiteth all souls. This is no blind faith: stand thou in the welcoming rays of Sol at its zenith, and be embraced by Elysium’s joy.
But if it were not for the King in Blue, this would not be so.
THE THIRD ILLUMINATION
With the birth of Sol came the Miasma Twins: the Queen in Green and her brother, the Copper King.
These lifeless, formless titans shared in the amber glory of Elysium until the apathetic brother became ensnared in his net of moons, leaving all the glory for the languishing Queen to bask in alone.
Forsooth, until the birth of the Giant Twins: the Cyan Queen and the King in Indigo.
Verily, the Jade Queen flew into jealous rage. Unwilling to share in Elysium’s joy, she unleashed her wrath upon the twins, freezing the fledgling colossi in prisons of her making, thus hiding them from the amber fields.
THE FOURTH ILLUMINATION
Alas, her solitude did not endure, for next came the Terrestrial Quartet: the Queen in Gold, the Silver King, the Ruby Queen, and the King in Blue.
The Jade Queen wept bitter, diamond tears, for the quartet were born too near to Sol for her frost to bind them. Thus life flourished unabashed upon their rocky mantles.
Forsooth, the Jade Queen could not abide their brilliance.
Twisted by envy, she decreed that if the amber fields could not be hers alone, then there would be no light at all. She would encase Sol within herself, extinguishing Elysium’s candle. Without its glow, the burgeoning life upon the quartet would perish
THE FIFTH ILLUMINATION
Lo, the Ruby Queen — a wary eye forever upon her emerald sister — foresaw the assault and roused her celestial kin.
The Queen in Gold and the Silver King she set as rearguard, whilst she herself took vanguard. The King in Blue she entrusted with the greatest charge: to claim the Amber Throne in the heart of Sol and hold fast the window into Elysium.
Alas, the cosmic war was great and terrible. Though the Queen in Green was driven back, only the King in Blue now remaineth; the rest, lifeless husks.
Blessed be the King in Blue, for He sat in the flux of life, wedging open the window into Elysium and allowing life to be reborn anew upon Him.
THE SIXTH ILLUMINATION
Lo, unwilling to lose that which He cherished above all, He whispered His secrets to those who would hear — secrets to defeating the Queen in Green when she riseth once more.
I, Doris, heard His most holy whispers, and was rewarded.
By giving myself freely, casting out envy, and opening myself to His joy, the King in Blue alloweth me to shed my mortal shell and become one with the Amber Fields of Elysium.
THE SEVENTH ILLUMINATION
Hark, this is not blind faith.
Come unto one of my gatherings; behold with thine own eyes as I transcend my flesh before thee.
I am Mother Doris.
We are the
People of the Blue Sign.
