"What is the Aretas Immortalis Cult?"
Formed before Thaumaturgy International was even in its infancy, the Aretas Immortalis Cult is a group devoted to summoning Aretas into this plane of existence, in hopes that when he unleashes his ultimate power he will reward his faithful servants. The Cult will go to any extremes to further their knowledge of the summoning ritual; they have no qualms about taking innocent lives or breaking laws to serve their purpose.
"Who is Aretas?"
Aretas is the Demon King in the home dimension of the demons. Very little is actually known about him, as the knowledge behind the ability to travel between dimensions is unknown, but the holy scripts of the AIC describe a time when the King was nearly summoned long long ago, before it was thought that the written word existed. However, the books ended at that point, though the reason for this is unknown.
"How did the other Demons get here?"
The Cult performs many experiments with summoning lesser demons to try and further their knowledge of the process before they attempt to bring over Aretas himself. These experiments often do not work out, and many demons roam free.
"Do all Demons serve the AIC?"
Not at all. In fact, most Demons are opposed to the work the AIC does. While all Demons serve Aretas in their realm, many feel that bringing him to this dimension would kill him. Most Demons remember their lives in the other realm when they come to this one, but it doesn't seem to work the other way. So, unfortunately, the demons living in the demon realm have no way of knowing that they are being summoned to the mortal realm.
"Can we join the AIC?"
Of course you can. Usually if your character expresses any interest in necromancy or the Demon King, a representative from the cult will find him or her and give the offer to join. All you must do out-of-character to join is PM Torin, or admin.
