The Sect

History
Born out of Sector 23, the religious organization known as The Sect had begun as a group of military and civilian survivors who had taken shelter in a research bunker. Not intended for long term survivability, but equipped with an advanced A.I. steward, the eclectic gathering was able to survive and even thrive in seclusion. The initial survivors and the generation succeeding them had come to rely on and worship the A.I. that had become known as the Mother.

Under the Mother's growing influence and capability the survivors made use of the technology under development in Sector 23 and had reforged themselves into a religious order with the belief that human kind can be saved if augmented and knelt before the superior wisdom of their machine god. In the years following their emergence back into the world at large they had been a small, but spreading influence on the Outlands.

Their Seekers act as warrior missionaries spreading the word of their digital deity and actively combating the dangers in the Outlands. While they do not adhere strictly to the governing city states they tolerate the governing bodies and are tolerated in turn, although their teachings sometimes incite civil disobedience. Especially since they actively preach augmented human superiority and see the Spawn and Jinxed humans as demon touched and unholy.

Seekers
Seekers and other members of the sect are allowed into the outer rings of the city-states under Sect Licenses to practice freedom of religion, though they are occasionally driven out by local government. Many ex-Sect members become Ravengers. Current Sect members comfortably get along with the Augmented, and do well in trade with the black markets. They are one of the few remaining bastions of humanity in the Outlands otherwise heavily occupied by Portal Spawn.
