Mothers of the Red Goddess
The Seven Mothers is the guardian cult of the Lunar Empire's borderlands. It is the official state organ, first responsible for keeping foes of the Empire out and secondly for letting friends of the Empire in. For the first role, the cult has a warrior subcult, terrible in its fury. In the second role, it has a teacher subcult whose mission is to educate those wanting to meet the Red Goddess.
The Seven Mothers is a proselytizing cult. Its members include both missionaries and converts. Anyone who wants the benefits of the Lunar sphere of influence must pay attention to this cult and its welfare.
