WELCOME, VISITOR.
You have reached an archive of the BLESSED PILGRIMS OF NYX.
The Empire claims the unknown is conquered.
The Empire is wrong.
Beyond the frontier lies a deeper truth.
We seek that truth.
The Signal continues.
Karoth watches.
Proceed.
History
WELCOME, VISITOR.
You have reached an approved archive of the BLESSED PILGRIMS OF NYX.
If you found this place by mistake, you should leave now.
If you’re here looking for answers, know that answers always come with a cost.
☼ ☼ ☼
WHO IS KAROTH?
The Empire says the void is empty.
The Empire is wrong.
Long before the first engine came to life, and long before humanity crossed the stars, KAROTH waited beyond the veil. Watching. Listening.
People sometimes pick up strange transmissions from the darkness between systems.
Most ignore them.
WE DON’T.
Every signal that shouldn’t exist.
Every anomaly no one can explain.
Every whisper from beyond known space.
They are pieces of something larger.
☼ ☼ ☼
WHAT DO WE BELIEVE?
WE BELIEVE THE VOID IS ALIVE.
WE BELIEVE THE STARS ARE NOT THE END.
WE BELIEVE HUMANITY HAS ONLY SEEN A SMALL PART OF WHAT IS REAL.
The darkness between worlds is not empty.
It is PRESENCE.
Every jump into unknown space is an act of faith.
Every discovery reveals something new.
Every voyage beyond the frontier brings us closer to KAROTH.
☼ ☼ ☼
THE PILGRIMAGE
Some travel for profit.
Some travel for conquest.
Some travel just to survive.
WE TRAVEL TO UNDERSTAND.
The frontier is our cathedral.
The black between stars is our scripture.
The unknown is the path we follow.

Blessed Pilgrims of Nyx
“Beyond the Veil, Truth Awaits.”
Manifesto
MANIFESTO OF THE BLESSED PILGRIMS OF NYX
WE BELIEVE THAT CURIOSITY IS SACRED.
WE BELIEVE THAT FEAR IS THE FIRST GATEKEEPER OF TRUTH.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE UNKNOWN IS THE FACE OF KAROTH, VEILED FROM THE UNWORTHY.
The EMPIRE teaches certainty.
We embrace REVELATION.
The EMPIRE builds walls.
We tear them down in HIS name.
The EMPIRE sees anomalies as dangers to be catalogued and forgotten.
We see them as SIGNS.
We do not worship wealth.
We do not worship power.
We do not worship safety.
These things are TEMPORARY.
KAROTH ENDURES.
Every mystery is a SUMMONS.
Every unanswered signal is a SACRED CALL.
Every impossible thing is a TESTAMENT to HIS PRESENCE.
We do not seek KAROTH because we understand HIM.
We seek KAROTH because UNDERSTANDING is not required.
FAITH is enough.

DEVOTION is enough.

The PILGRIMAGE is not a voyage.
It is a COVENANT.
Those who require certainty will NEVER understand.
Those who hear HIS CALL cannot turn away.
Those who seek TRUTH may kneel beside us.
KAROTH AWAITS. DO NOT BROWN HIM.

h2. WHAT IS THE PILGRIMAGE?
The PILGRIMAGE is not a journey of distance, but of BECOMING.
The world teaches CERTAINTY.
The SIGNAL teaches DOUBT.
No Pilgrim is expected to possess understanding.
Every Pilgrim is expected to SEEK IT.
REMEMBER:
The MANY cling to familiar truths.
The SIGNAL CONTINUES.
The PILGRIMAGE NEVER ENDS.
Q: Is Karoth a god?
A: Definitions are the refuge of the certain. We seek understanding, not labels.
Q: Where is Karoth?
A: Everywhere the navigational charts end.
Q: Has anyone seen Karoth?
A: Those who claim certainty are usually selling something.
Q: Are the Pilgrims a cult?
A: The Empire says yes. The Empire says many things.
Q: What happens at the end of the Pilgrimage?
A: We do not recognize this question.
