The Future War Cult (FWC) is one of the factions of the Guardians of the City.[1] Members of the Cult are known for their military prowess as well as their secrecy. They believe that war with the Darkness is inevitable, whether they stay on Earth or attempt to flee, and therefore they must be ready to fight. They are also deeply concerned with fate, and whether or not it is possible to alter history altogether. The Cult is led by a group called the Inner Circle.[2]
Archaeological findings indicate that they have existed as early as the late Golden Age.[3] The Future War Cult was founded by Dr. Maya Sundaresh and her team in Lhasa, as a result of their experiments on a Vex-inspired mind-forking device used to look into the future. This device caused its users to become mentally unstable, and they began worshipping the device as a god.[4] The modern FWC recovered the design of the device and rebuilt it in The City. Use of the device was abandoned when most users became insane. Those who did not reported different timelines where the Darkness is victorious or the City has fallen. This device forms the basis of FWC's beliefs.[5]
The Future War Cult was once an outsider faction. When the Concordat faction fell from grace, the Future War Cult was selected to replace it in the Consensus and was granted access to the Tower. The Consensus felt that the Cult's philosophy was more interesting than dangerous, and its focus on combat would both attract former Concordat members and aid in the Guardians' effort to restore the City's territory.[6]
