Acolyte
Faithful servants who build the temple and spread the word of The Lamb.
In the sprawling hierarchy of The Lamb's religion, the Acolyte represents the foundational layer of faith. While commonly referred to as Followers within the sanctuary management interface, these individuals serve as the devoted acolytes who sustain the cult through labor and prayer. They are the eyes, hands, and voices of the movement, recruited from the corrupted lands beyond the temple walls. Each Acolyte arrives with a unique personality and set of traits that shape their contribution to the community. Whether they are enthusiastic zealots or reluctant skeptics, their collective belief fuels the rituals required to ascend The Lamb's power. Without them, the sanctuary cannot grow, marking them as essential partners in the divine mission.

Lore & Background
Acolytes originate from various backgrounds, often having been enslaved or misguided by rival cults before being liberated. Their transformation into loyal servants is a central theme of the journey, representing redemption through devotion to a new deity.

Their collective chanting during rituals creates the spiritual energy needed to unlock forbidden powers and defenses.
The bond between The Lamb and each Acolyte is fragile, relying on consistent care and shared belief to prevent doubt from taking root in their hearts. As the cult expands across the lands, the Acolytes become a symbol of resistance against the dark forces that plague the world. They march alongside their leader into battle, wielding makeshift weapons with unwavering courage. Their existence proves that even in a corrupted land, true faith can bloom and spread like wildfire.
