Ascended Moth Guardian | Cult of the Moth

LORE & BACKGROUND

Among the Cult of the Moth, the final stage of devotion is not enlightenment, but dissolution. Those who survive the long transformation rise as living extensions of Exuvia’s will, vast and luminous creatures whose faith has outlived identity.

The Guardian drifts above the Waybeacon in solemn silence, its enormous wings scattering dust that glows like embers in the dark. The air around it hums with power, a quiet resonance that stirs the stagnant waters below. Beneath its shimmering wings lies a monstrous truth: a bloated abdomen split with fanged maws, limbs plated in black chitin, and eyes that weep molten light.

It tends to the nests that cradle Exuvia’s eggs, turning them gently so that each shell catches the flame’s touch. When strangers trespass upon sacred ground, the Guardian descends like a falling star. Its wings crush, its tail pierces, and the air fills with the scent of burnt silk.

To the cultists who watch from below, this is not horror but holiness. The Guardian has no hunger, no thought, no will but to serve. In its endless devotion, it has become everything the faithful long for - emptied, radiant, and forever obedient.
