 * The Modern Day Cult of Poseidon**

Here stands the decaying remains of last temple of the Cult of Poseidon. This group scratched out a living on the fringes of established societies as outcasts, settling on marginal lands. They often held jobs that kept them out of the city, usually as sailors or as workers on farms in the country.

Persecuted for their beliefs, described by many as pagan, the cult became militarized in order to protect their land. Entrenching themselves as a prominent contingent of the Shipyard, the cult found uneasy acceptance among the sailors of the area. Their newly militarized lifestyle coupled with their affinity for the sea aided in this uneasy partnership Eventually, the Modern Cult of Poseidon was given permission by the Shipyard to construct their own house of worship on the Naval Base grounds. However, the religious community continued to garner suspicion from the civilians settling in the nearby city of Charleston. Tensions rose until violent conflict broke out in the mid 1990s.

Dozens were hunted down and forcibly converted to the mainstream faith. Their dwindling population was further decimated by the outbreak of an unknown contagion in the Naval Base. leading to a complete abandonment of the site within a few months. These tensions finally climaxed in the winter of 1993-1994, when the cult was disbanded for unknown reasons. Most suspect that the cult still survives in some form, keeping a low profile because of their potential involvement in the Event.

In the years since the cults disbandment, the chapel and other buildings constructed byt he Cult of Poseidon have fallen derelict, into disrepair and out of the public memory.
