GENERAL INFORMATION
- Group Name: The Gluttonous Coven
- Classification: Guild/Covenant
- Headquarters: Den of Decadence (Space Station)
- Loyalties: @Darth Voracitos, and The Sith Empire (including the Dark Lord of the Sith, [member="Darth Carnifex"])
- Group Sigil:
- Description: The Coven of Gluttony worships above all the pursuit of all things desired, the absorption of power in much the same way the natural body absorbs power from the food that it eats. With Darth Voracitos as a living model of the power that can be achieved through Gluttony, the Coven serves to worship the most Gluttonous among them, in the hopes of stealing "His table scraps", to be imbued with the power to some day match his voracious hungered desires. Yet at the same time, they ensure their terrible master never hungers, least they all suffer the wrath of his hunger. Many Sith Followers in the group follow a modified Sith Code to account for their dedication to the Gluttony.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Hierarchy: Within the Coven, @Darth Voracitos is the Lord above all, yet ouside of the Coven fealty ultimately falls under the Sith Empire's Brotherhood of the Sith, and its Dark Lord of the Sith [member="Darth Carnifex"]. Beneath Darth Voracitos are the Hungered Vassals, who orchestrate the major operations of the Coven's underlings, the Starved Subjects.
- Membership: To become a member, they need only swear fealty to the Coven and its Master (or become indoctrinated into through slavery), and the Sith Empire. One must also be sponsored by a Hungered Vassal, who will then be allowed to feed upon the new initiate to the cusp of breaking via either Force Drain (for Force Sensitive) or ritual blood-letting, to become a Starved Subject. A Starved Subject will ascend to a Hungered Vassal once they have recruited their own Subjects, and are given permission by their Hungered Vassal to feed upon them. A Starved Subject may bring many Subjects to be indoctrinated before a Hungered Vassal may consider their ascension... however, a Starved Subject if ever strong enough, may find another way, by feeding upon a Hungered Vassal and "Starving" them so that they are superior to their former sponsor. In which case, Lord of Gluttony Darth Voracitos would feed from them. In essence, the Coven is designed of a pyramid structure of "Dog eat Dog"... literally, except those within the Coven rarely feed so much as to kill a member. Unless that member happens to be Darth Voracitos, who kills while feeding frequently.
- Dogma/Doctrines: The Doctrine of the Coven is based heavily upon a pyramidal power structure, where the one that devours the greatest, shall have vassals who replenish their loss by devouring many smaller subjects, who recruit more victims into the Coven either by promises of future strength and learning, or through direct slavery. Either way, it is a staunch belief that any who enter the Coven, may never leave. Fealty to their proper masters is paramount, and any who defy will find themselves in a life of pain, suffering, and constant dying. The pyramid of fealty is as follows -
The Starved Subjects swear fealty to the Coven and the Hungered Vassals, who feed upon them, or drink their blood. - The Hungered Vassals swear fealty to the Coven and their Masters, the Sith Empire, and Darth Voracitos, who feeds upon them and drinks their blood.
- The Lord of Gluttony (Darth Voracitos) swears by his Coven's fealty to the Empire, but swears fealty to no one but himself. He feeds upon the Hungered Vassals and those who displease him, and drinks their blood if they are one with the Coven.
[*]Members who adhere to the Sith Code often adopt a modified version to reconcile themselves into the Coven. The modified code is as follows -
- Peace is a lie, there is only Hunger
- Through Hunger, I gain Desire
- Through Desire, I gain Want
- Through Want, I gain Gluttony
- Through Gluttony my girth shall Devour
- The Force shall be my feast
[*]Curios: All who are members shall be branded with a blood tattoo, which link their life force to those who swear their fealty to, so a Starved Subject to a Hungered Vassal, and a Hunger Vassal to Lord Voracitos himself.
[*]Goals: The Original mission of the Coven, was to seek out the various individuals in the galaxy who had become intrinsically linked to Darth Voracitos during his imprisonment in the Aslyum of Gluttony. So much so, that they became a vulnerability to the Dark Lord. This of course, was after the Dark Lord himself had entered the Netherworld a third time in search of an emptiness within him. Returning unfulfilled, the Lord of Gluttony came riding upon a wave of souls he had harvested from the Netherworld and feasted upon more powerful than ever. With this power, he promised Sith Acolytes and Knights alike with the power of Souls and "Nethermancy", branding them with "Symbols of Power"... in fact, the insidious Sith Master had in fact bound the souls he had collected to his newest Vassals, in effect twisting their spiritual insides to souls effectively bound to Voracitos, indenturing them to his will. The Hungered Vassals are sworn to secrecy of this fact, and while some attempt to defy the will of their master by collecting more Starved Subjects with the hope of becoming the Lord of Gluttony, they serve only to make the Dark Lord's Coven stronger. Officially, the coven still seeks out the individuals bound to Lord Voracitos, but they also seek to collect items of power, feast upon the living (and ghosts), and also party when celebration is warranted with a great amount of alcohol and debauchery. The Coven is also, of course, concerned with the development of wealth, as basic avarice is very closely related to Gluttony.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Coven of Gluttony is nothing short of a cult dedicated the Master of Gluttony himself, Darth Voracitos, a former Sith Emperor of immeasurable size, equally large ego, and power. To date, the Dark Lord has experienced a total of three death-like states, all issuing forth a traversal through the Netherworld of the Force, and each time the Sith Lord has returned more ravenous. After engaging in efforts of reclamation of his old holdings on Lorrd and much of his old Empire, the Sith Lord suddenly found himself called to the farthest reach of his mind... of the force. Voracitos found himself drawn to depth of Hell within the Netherworld, in search of something not even he did not know. In frustration and with a feeling of emptiness, the Sith Lord feasted upon what appears to be thousands of misbegotten souls in the Netherworld, and ripped himself back into galactic reality, festering with hatred and all-consuming desires.
With a great number of attachments across the galaxy weighing upon the corpulent Lord's mind, Darth Voracitos utilized his new found knowledge and abilities to gain new servants.... strong, and powerful servants. Through an initially slow process, the withering Dark Lord was able to feed upon these individuals until their very souls were intertwined within the tapestry the Shadow Emperor had created, forcing their cooperation and secrecy. The new Lord of the Coven sent forth his new Hungered Vassals into the dark, who sought and collected potentials within the Sith Empire, and subjected them to his rituals through promises, trickery... and occasionally force.
The Coven grows larger within the Sith Empire, expanding their number of cells and members, serving the Empire and the Coven simultaneously with discovered knowledge and items of power, as well as investing into lucrative operations to net both the Coven (and its master) as well as the Empire a fair profit. While many question the Coven of its loyalty, Voracitos vehemently denies that the Coven's interests are misaligned with the Empire's, and has proven sufficiently that no betrayal is planned so long as the Empire prospers, which the Coven seeks to ensure.
Even with their increasingly rapid expansion, the Coven remains small and insignificant within the Sith Empire, proving their worth only through monetary acquisition and the possession of powerful items found no where else. All organizations within the Empire have their place, and the Coven is quickly filling in its own role.
