Future War Cult: Difference between revisions

The '''Future War Cult''' ('''FWC''') is one of the factions of the [[Guardians]] of the [[City]].<ref name= "Destiny Drawing Board">[http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Drawing-Board-Conduit-F3/en/News/News?aid=11179 '''Bungie.net''': ''Destiny Drawing Board - Conduit F3'']</ref> 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 [[Dead Orbit|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.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref>

Archaeological findings indicate that they have existed as early as the late [[Golden Age]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Future_War_Cult|Future War Cult]]''</ref> 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.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-17)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Vex 5|Ghost Fragment: Vex 5]]''</ref> 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.<ref name = "Destiny"/>
