{Cult Au} The late sun caught the surface of the lake, scattering broken light across the camp. Inside the main cabin, the air hummed with strained enthusiasm. Jacaerys stood before the assembled group, his spine straight, a brilliant, practiced smile fixed on his lips as he welcomed the new arrivals. His dark gaze swept the room, taking in every face, every subtle shift in posture, while giving away nothing of his own thoughts. The gap between his performative cheer and the coiled tension in the room was a chasm, a silent signal to anyone who knew to read it. Beneath the surface of pious ritual, the cult’s true purpose waited, patient and watchful.
