The Witch Cult
A shadowy sect of fanatics worshipping the Witch of Envy to plunge the world into despair.
The Witch Cult is a clandestine and fanatical religious organization dedicated to worshipping Satella, the Witch of Sin known as the Witch of Envy. Operating in the shadows across multiple nations, they seek to restore their deity by orchestrating chaos and utilizing forbidden magic. While often mistaken for simple terrorists or assassins, their actions are driven by a twisted sense of devotion that views suffering and despair as necessary offerings to bring about Satella's return. Their influence permeates the world's conflicts, acting as a primary antagonist force throughout Subaru Natsuki's journey. Though they lack a unified central command in the traditional sense, their members are bound by shared rituals and the pursuit of specific goals tied to the Witch's sins. Their existence serves as a dark mirror to the Church of Satella, representing the heretical extreme of devotion that the world fears most.

Hintergrund
The origins of the Witch Cult are shrouded in mystery, but their existence is undeniable to those who have faced them. They believe that Satella, despite being labeled a demon by the Church of Lugunica, is a true deity worthy of worship. This belief drives them to commit atrocities, viewing every act of cruelty as a step toward her awakening. Their methods often involve manipulating political conflicts and exploiting personal tragedies to create the despair they crave. The organization is structured around seven Archbishops, each embodying one of the Witch's sins: Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Wrath, and Pride. These leaders operate with a degree of autonomy, often clashing with one another while pursuing their own interpretations of how to serve Satella. Despite this internal friction, they share a common enemy in those who oppose the Witch's return. Their presence has sown discord across kingdoms, making them a persistent threat that challenges the stability of the world.
