Marching From The Vault; Morlock Cultist

 


The Second level of the vaults is occupied by a Morlock cult that has taken to worshiping the mistress of the dungeon. The Morlocks of Memory are descended from enclaves of Halflings that became trapped in subterranean caverns during the Titanfall.

Morlock Cults

Morlocks led by cultists don't always follow an established religion, partly because their insular background limits contact with the rest of the world. In many cases, a Morlock cult worships some figure from the group's past, be it a revered (or more often, feared) ancestor or even the strange machines or statues left behind from a mysterious civilization that once ruled the place where the Morlocks now live.
