Yesss more of aus of different TOWW !! (iβm currently making one myself :>)
I've been getting into the Cult of the Lamb Fandom a little bit and decided to make my own Au. I'm calling it "Cult Anchor" for now, but It might change. Anyways, here's the au version of the "Lamb", well, rather the leader of the cult in this Au.
So essentially, in this Au, Kallamar took the fall for Narindar, but Narindar was kinda a jerk about it to Kallamar. After the Prophocy, that one from Kallamar's lands of Anchordeep would liberate him and exact revenge on the other bishops. Slowly, the bishops had the creatures of Anchordeep slain, but one Axolotl managed to meet Kallamar and become the vessel of the Blue crown.
The Axolotl is called Ancor, and their a sweetie pie, unless you cross them.
Idk if anyone has done this before, but I'm definitely enjoying making my au.
lil 'eep
bro you cooked a whole buffet with this one , more cotl lore theories/analysis FTW
I was talking to my bestie @cultoftheswag on vc and the neurons started firing after watching the sin cutscene, so, theories on secondary aspects of each crown (long post) (maybe insane sounding and barely readable):
This all started off as theorizing that the sin snake is actually the being inside the crown (not a god but more like the crown is sentient) that has finally woken due to lamb's accumulated power. Expanding on that theorizes all crowns have a sentience, but based on this line, not all of the crown bearers awakened their crowns:
Bestie (Swag) pointed out that the only other crown with 2 aspects was the purple crown, Shamura, who has both war and knowledge. With the previous theory, it means that Shamura awakened their crown and brought forth the secondary domain; knowledge.
Which leads me to the brain worm thought of "what are the other crown's secondary aspects?" Well.
Each crown has 2 aspects that follow the same pattern:
The primary aspects of green, yellow, blue and purple are all sub categories of the red crown (chaos, famine, disease and war all bring death) and the same can be said for the mirrored aspect (order, abundance, health and peace all bring life)
There is also a pattern in the primary aspects of 4 being solid events (famine, disease, war, death AND order, abundance, health, life) and one conceptual (chaos and peace)
With this in mind, all secondary aspects might be sub categories of the red crown's secondary aspect, sin. Except, knowledge isn't a sin, so like what the fuck, right? Ok but what if I told you that knowledge isn't the sinful aspect of the purple crown, but the opposite of it.
The sin snake mentions being able to control and use the sins of your followers and that you alone, as their god, is capable of forgiving them or letting them be taken over by sin. This would mean that the mirror aspect of sin would be absolution. If the purple crown's aspect of knowledge isn't the sin, then knowledge is the path of absolution of a sin. A sin like deceit and deception.
This still doesn't bring me any closer to figuring out the other crowns but I will not be defeated. Upon a little bit of shallow research, there appears to be the concept of mortal sins in Christianity/Christo aligned faith. Excluding the seven deadly sins from the list of mortal sins and anything faith related (because it would be pointless if a crown's sin power was to make you not believe in your god. Like, that would suck. It would kill the crown's own cult which which bishop derives their power from.)
That leaves the following aspects: murder, adultery and theft. Since Shamura's secondary aspect is confirmed to be knowledge, the mirror aspect has to be deceit even though it is not a named mortal sin. Though, I'm fairly certain lying and being untruthful would generally be considered a sin in most religious settings.
All three fall into the same pattern as the primary aspects:
Murder, adultery, theft, deceit are all forms of sin, while the opposite aspects, repentance, loyalty, charity and knowledge are all ways to absolve or correct those sins. The red crown still holds dominion over the others.
Murder, adultery, theft and deceit/ repentance, charity, knowledge and absolution are solid events where sin and loyalty are conceptual aspects.
So now onto who has what, which secondary aspects belong to which crown. This is just my working theory but after thinking about it for a while, I think I have it.
Leshy/ the green crown has the primary aspect of chaos/order and secondary aspect of murder and repentance. Though Leshy may not have awakened his crown to learn this, it would makes sense if Darkwood cultists remembered that murder is favored by the green crown. Hence why Darkwood is so incredibly full of bodies plastered ritualistically on trees.
Heket/ the yellow crown has the primary aspect of famine/abundance and the secondary aspect of adultery and loyalty. Idk how to describe it, but something about abundance feels like it would fit well with adultery, like the overconsumption and joy of prosperity leading to immorality, resulting in a punishing famine that forces loyalty upon Anura's denizens.
Kallamar/ the blue crown has the primary aspect of disease/health and the secondary aspect of theft and charity. We all KNOW Kallamar was not charitable ok. Anchordeep's temple was said to be beautiful and covered in opulent crystals and gold. He may have acted charitable to his devoted followers but in a "ooooh I'll give your struggling village a beautiful crystal statue of me to pray to, isn't that nice?" kind of way.
Though, neither Leshy, Heket or Kallamar successfully awakened their crowns, I feel like the aspects would still be a part of their domains and personalities. Even Narinder may not have been able to awaken his crown, but due to the fact that he was imprisoned and weakened through lack of faith powering the crown (credit to Swag who said this as I'm typing this whole post live on discord) (Swag says hi!!!!!)
Also as a side note, maybe the other crowns manifest as objects related to their other aspect. Clearly the red crown is a snake cuz, sin, but perhaps Shamura's would a divine book or if we stayed with the animal theme, an owl. (shoutout to me and swag losing our shit over "leshy's is a glock" and "kallamar's are airpods cuz they're overpriced and always get stolen")
This was not part of my original theory, but it came to mind joking about Kallamar's divine blue crown airpods, but what if Narinder's damage to his siblings is what kept the other three from awakening their crowns? Like, it damaged them as vessels of their crowns enough they were no longer seen as worthy to awaken them. That would make Narinder a huge bitch but what else is new tbh.
COOL WORK AWSOME WORK CANT WAIT FOR IT

(YOU GET IT π«΅π½π«΅π½)
MY wambert philosophy
absolutely cooked with this one holy crap
Woe of the Bolide
Alone, binded in recompense,
Feel the binds tear at your flesh,
1000 years; No family left,
Sorrow claims the Lord of Dying.
How could they think to treat us so?
When not so very long ago,
Among the stars our fates were sewn,
A family, beautifully thriving.
Was it necessity that drove the knife?
Deep to the heart from Kin to Kin,
The bells shall ring as the spider sings,
"Why, oh why, sweet life?"
Or was it jealousy run rife?
Did they feel and fear the end of life?
How it might come quick and cut them short,
Did they feel their actions fair retort?
No other way, lacking remorse?
Death for He, Undying.
One dark thought, a single pain,
Flashes stark inside Death's brain,
If morality is shades of grey
Who there was shaded darkest?
Here we lay, a corpse in shawl,
Betwixt white walls of wayward souls,
Hear their calls and deathly throes,
Stuck between Death and What's Remaining.
Within these very hallowed halls,
Bellow the bawls and calls of thralls,
How we'd trade them all for a chance once more,
At life with those who spite us
One day, however, the fates shall change,
Send the key, formed in the shape,
Of woollen service to the ever great,
Their flock perfect for the flaying
It will be they who liberate,
Ichor stained chains that hold and cage,
The one true lord, Long live his reign!
Death, unbound and thriving
Then from eternal void shall rise again,
Beauty and grace,
The lasting change,
That of Death....
Eternal Ending.
I MISSED THE BABY SHOWER NOOOOOOO
Welcome to Lamb's baby shower, this is an event that takes place before Lari's birth, Lamb and Narinder's first born!
During this event I'll open the Cheeps ask box for 3 days, it's up to you to send fun gifts for the Lamb which I'll be replying to with their reaction and cute drawings!
Anon will be on if you're shy as well
"How do I send my gift?"
Simple! just send in an ask like "I gift the Lamb a lifetime supply of diapers" or "Congratulations leader! Here's my gift of a delicious snail pie!", the gift can be absolutely anything! You can roleplay as a follower, your own OC, or just say a random gift, Images are also permitted but not necessary, Keep in mind I'll be drawing out the asks.
"Are there rules?"
There are only two rules for this event: To keep things SFW, and to not name Lari. We may know about all the cheeps right now, but this is set before Lari even had her name decided, so to keep things making some sense, just call her "the baby" :3
You are allowed to send more than one ask!
Event timeline
The askbox will be open from the moment this post is sent, it'll remain open for 2 more days, today counting as the first, and will close December 4th around 6 PM GMT -3, I will start posting the reactions to the gifts on Dec. 5th and by the 9th I should be done posting them all
I'll try to get to all asks but it'll depend on how many I can physically complete, it depends on how many asks I get
I've been planning this little event for a month now, so do have fun with your asks <3
YEAAAAHHH RIDE THE CYCLONE REFERENCE WITH COTL LESSGOOO
And I'm askin', "Why, Lord?"
If this is how I die, Lord
Why be left with no family and no friends?
