The Cult is an enemy faction in DUSK. They are the main antagonist faction of The Foothills and are seen throughout the game.
Backstory
The Cult is made up of several inhabitants of the rural backwoods along the outskirts of DUSK, Pennsylvania. Their organization is led by a single leader, who must prove that they are worthy of leading by defeating the previous cult leader in a duel. The Cult's practices are mainly centered around worship of the Lovecraftian horror Nyarlathotep. Cult members are extremely zealous and hate outsiders and non-believers. They believe that all who are not part of their faith should be killed on sight, which they show towards the protagonist.
Members of the Cult make their presence known through the usage of their symbol, which is displayed in several locations throughout the game and appears on the robes of all Cultists. Some members seem to favor the use of tall, pointed hoods as part of their dress, though whether this is required for their faith is unknown. Additionally, the Cult members have various framed photographs of their leader in their homes and businesses.
