THE DARK HARMONY
By Sparky (calliopeyx@aol.com)
Introduction
Maria wandered into the dark church, hearing a deep tenor-bass chorus. She thought it was abandoned. She entered and watched as seven men stood in black priest cloaks singing, each perfectly in-tune in their dark harmonies. She continued forward as if called by a siren's song. The unfortunate thing was that she had just walked into one of their masses -- she was the sacrificial lamb.
Description
The Dark Harmony is quite an old group. They view the world exactly as the Celestial Chorus does, being the dark beats of the One's Symphony. The disrupt the normality of the world so their Choruster brothers could repair it with a twirling crescendo. Their history dates back almost as far as the Chorus', but the past of the song is irrelevent; listen to it now.
Organization
The Dark Harmony hides, for good reason. They are the vile rapists, murderers and thieves. They have small "dens" of two to seven members. Rarely can more than seven be near each other -- they are usually not the most cooperative crew.
Meetings
The dens have quite elaborate rituals, many times involving some poor sacrifice, many times humans.
Initiation
An initiate must show great depravity in harming another person, possibly even one in the Dark Harmony itself.
Chantry
Many pretend to be Celestial Choristers, aside from those there is no formal chantry.
Acolytes
Rapists, murderers, bored people.
