- Not to be confused with the Seventh Generation of vampires.
The Seventh Generation was a Wyrm cult involved in the ritual abuse of children.
Overview[]
The cult encouraged child abuse in order to damage children so much that when they grew up, they would not only perpetuate the cycle, they would also be ripe for corruption by the Wyrm.
The Seventh Generation was divided into several castes. The Warrior defended the cult. The Snatchers abducted children for use in rituals. The Medical caste conducted experiments. The Military, Government, and Business castes meddled in each of those spheres, using them to keep their enemies away.
The Seventh Generation was headquartered in New York since their perceived shift in world power but continued to have branches across the globe. King Albrecht led a crusade against the Seventh Generation shortly after receiving the Silver Crown. The cult was crushed, but he could not reach all the branches, so it has the potential of reorganizing itself and returning.
History[]
After the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, Andrew Jackson gained the attention of the Seventh Generation and they enlisted him to their cause: the defilement of humanity through the corruption of their most basic values. In 1828, Andrew Jackson became President of the United States of America and the Wyrm found a dependable ally in its struggle to oust Gaia's guardians from their longtime home. The passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830 gave license to the states to confiscate the land of the indigenous sovereign nations. Cherokees, for example, were prohibited from participating in public assemblies, mining for gold, or testifying in state court. Despite the Supreme Court decision supporting the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation, the drive for relocation continued as the affected states, urged on by President Jackson, defied Washington's judicial authority. In the person of "Old Hickory," the machinations of the Seventh Generation conspired to rip apart the fabric of Cherokee society, separating them from the land and preparing the way for a near-genocidal assault on the descendants of the "Pure Ones."
