Cult of Moments
A street movement in besieged Kholinar whose members dress in strips of cloth meant to evoke specific spren — flamespren, windspren, painspren, rotspren — and march in processions through the streets calling out fragments of nonsense. Bystanders bow and pray as they pass. SA:OB:Ch 61
Known facts
- real-power-in-kholinarWith the queen withdrawn and lighteyed houses each holding only their own districts, the Cult of Moments is the real power in the city. The remaining Vorin church has declared the cult a heresy, but most surviving ardents are barricaded with the highlords who still hold sections of Kholinar; the cult preaches that a strange new world is coming, one ruled by spren.SA:OB:Ch 62
- inner-circle-on-platformWit tells Shallan the cult is split in two: the common members wander the streets imitating spren, but a smaller inner circle on the Oathgate platform actually communes with one of the Unmade — the Heart of the Revel — and feasts each night in its proximity.SA:OB:Ch 67
- invites-swiftspren-to-the-revelThe Cult responds to the Swiftspren legend with a written invitation slipped to Ishnah while she walked the streets in Veil's face: meet at the borders of the revel two nights from now — the night of the next Everstorm — alone, with food, and join the feast on the Oathgate platform.SA:OB:Ch 74
