More notes from Dark Citadel RPG:
In addition to the traditional Christian churches of Wallachia, both new faiths and old traditions compete and persist.
The Order of Saint Eugenia
No one knows how or why people develop supernatural powers. Is it familial or something else? Therefore, the Order of Saint Eugenia has one simple goal: to encourage people to have as many children as possible to increase the odds of the supernaturally gifted. Besides, if all else fails, perhaps humanity can simply outbreed the monsters. Families are encouraged to have as many children as possible. The cult cites Psalm 127 in defense of their beliefs.
The Heralds of Zalmoxis
The old gods demand a sacrifice. In the days before the corruption of Christianity spread the pre-Wallachians worshipped pagan deities of immortality. Chief among them was Zalmaxis. The Heralds say that if Christianity is deposed and the gods of old are fed again with the blood of humans then the sun will rise and true resurrection from the dead can occur again, rather than the horrible parody of resurrection displayed by the undead.
The Vrăjitoare
The Vrăjitoare is a tradition of witches, fortune tellers, and healers. Originally a tradition of the Wallachian Roma women, this pagan faith has spread among many who are gifted with magical powers or insight, even those from other lands than Wallachia. Some Roma complain that their traditions are being stolen, while others accept new members from other cultures.
