Their devotion lay with an enigmatic being whispered only as the Crimson Muse. To them, true art was born only from suffering, and thus they birthed their so-called "Living Masterpieces"—human beings reshaped through myst-infused surgery, grotesque torture, and demonic modifications that twisted flesh and soul alike.
