Sworn

The Sworn are those factions committed to understanding, containing and curing the Contagion.

Overview

Most of those who become Sworn are monsters, but they're still a part of this world, and don't want to see it destroyed or warped beyond recognition. If nothing else, they recognize that the Contagion is as big a threat to them as it is to anyone else, and that it's beyond the ability of an individual or small group to contain or control. Fighting the Contagion takes collaboration and cooperation, even if the people and things you're cooperating with would normally be the enemy (or your lunch).^[1]

The main Sworn factions:

• The Cryptocracy, who regard Contagion as a product of social disorder
• The Jeremiad, to whom the Contagion is a form of divine judgment
• The Rosetta Society, who believe the Contagion is a message
• The Ship of Theseus, neophiles who see the Contagion as a force driving evolution
• Zero Hour, who treat the Contagion as an invading army
