===Cult===
'''The People’s Committee for Openings''', home to the '''Charitable''': the closest thing to a charitable society for the occult as one gets. It can be difficult to pinpoint members of this cult; they often look just like the average person. Their motto is ''Together, we rise.''
===Mark===
Those who listen to the ceaseless beat of compassion will by graced by the '''Marks of Kindness''', which bring solace to the heart and fill the soul.
# '''Temptation: Kindness''': It has occurred to me that I hold the key to salvation.
# '''Dedication: Kindness''': I have dedicated myself to the betterment of others. I will aid and assist those who suffer, whatever the cost.
# '''Ascension: Kindness''': The Bright-Delver has pressed her snout to my forehead, to open my eyes. I see the light of the Glory and the color of potential within each and every of my fellows. I know this to be the Third Mark.
# '''Ascension: Kindness''': The Fourth Mark has tinted my eyes, and when I bleed, it lights up the deepest darkness. The top of my head feels bare, but now is not the time.
# '''Ascension: Kindness''': Sleeplessness and vitality come with the Fifth Mark. I am followed by waking dreams, even as I soothe pains and bring comfort to those in need. Even when I close my eyes, I still see the world in all its color.
# '''Ascension: Kindness''': The Sixth Mark embraces me, and I feel neither loneliness nor sorrow. My eyes are inhuman, slitted like a serpents and in an ever-changing pattern of colors. The children all recognize me as a protector, and even the most frightened does not fear me.
# '''The Beat of Love's Drum:''': A crown sits upon my head, and my feet touch the glittering sands of the Aquarium. Silks and songs and joy follow in the wake of our parade, and even the cruelest denizens of this place leave us in peace. The Bright-Delver's shadow dances in the flickering light of the Glory, and soon she will lead us all to the tops of the waves to see it. Perhaps, one day, I will rise to meet it.
