I met this lovely young lady, Ester. Ester is a young academic in London, and we started the cult of knowledge. First we gathered people to our bookstore, and had Liv as an assistant. 'Liv is a very convincing speaker, and so far all we have is interested teenagers, who study together, and are willing to look around for books in their spare time. We then went to London, to use Esters contacts, we made contacts in academia for the cult. 5 professors have joined, more as a book club than anything else at current, but its early days yet.
We need to keep growing this cult, and gather some knowledge, Day and Ester will attempt to gain some power that can be traded for knowledge. Once we have more knowledge, we can start charging real money for knowledge, or giving knowledge for knowledge. As people get higher in the cult, we should indoctrinate them, knowledge is power, and we want all the knowledge in the world.
I need to sit down and make a symbol for this cult, and find somebody to make a dark web website for it, more community is good, as people get deeper in, we can get more and more from them. We also found the location of some genuine books of power, at a local (Larger) bookstore, Liv will attempt to get the hide of a mastodon, that we need to trade for the books.
These are promising first steps, and more to go.
Note to self, find some old crypts that may have books of power, and see if you can raid them.
Liv went on her hunt, note to self-I need to ask her who she went on the hunt with, I want to go hunting to get the second book on cryptids.
Liv returned with the first book on cryptics, so her hunt was successful, Liv is very paranoid, but she is also devoted to her craft, and that's laudable. I signed a non-opposition agreement with Liv, her goals of ending factory farming seem fine to me, she doesnt seem to have a problem with the Cult of knowledge. Liv will also help with the cult from time to time, in return for having access.
Otherwise, I need to keep expanding the cult, need to get the professors to teach the youngsters to be an information network, the more information I have the more favors I can trade for more knowledge and more runes or glyphs etc, I need to remember to get Ester more involved as well.
