introduction.
welcome, one and all, to the cult of dionysus. a group that partakes in many of the fun, traditional dionysus-approved activities. the cult of dionysus is a neutral group living on a large island, thriving on agriculture and main production of wine. they believe wholly in the greek gods above, but their main icon is the god of wine himself, dionysus. in this cult, it's not usual to have different partners.
territory.
the journey to the cult of dionysus is a unique one. the people live on a large island, the land decorated by ancient greek ruins. the housing, though crumbling and vine-ridden, are easy to repair and are, thus, livable and secure enough. due to their location, the cult is likely to not experience extremely cold weather besides a bit of nippy air. the island as a whole, if given a wide view, looks much like [ THIS ]. during meetings, the people of the cult will gather in front of a large fire [ HERE ] where the anax announces any events, important information, or promotions. due to the group's enjoyment of the arts, on several nights of the week the people will partake in watching ( or being in ) plays or musicals at the Theater of Dionysus; a reference photo being [ HERE ] lastly, the group is agriculture based so there is a large section of land dedicated to farming vegetables, fruits, and taking care of animals.
politics.
the cult of dionysus is a neutral group, easily described as a passive group. they don't care to have either enemies or allies, they exist to share their culture with others and the joy the greek gods above have given them. though, if a war were to break out between two groups and one needed their assistance, if asked they are willing to aid. but they do not choose sides.
