While the well-known macro events of the church’s founding, the mass waves of regret after the 2nd genocide, the founding of the church, and the church taking formal control of Cabina, played out, many individual souls also sought simple personal relief. Many of the church settlers on Cabina sought out the comfort of communities. Others went out into the wild.
A group of these people lived in a large forest south of Lux Gravare. In time they grew into a town. One day someone planted a single Cabina Scarlet Sage in a grassy field. The story goes that when asked why; the person replied, “I cannot do anything for those who have passed, but this flower represents my repented soul. Its blooming is the reawaken of my soul and my promise to do better in all things.” After this community members began planting their own single flower, creating the Gardens of the Repented and a new sect of the Church.
This sect focuses not on the dead or the lost souls; but on those who find a new life after repenting. They seek to carry out good deeds across Cabina and, for those with the means to do so, across the stars. This has earned them the name “Flower Children”.
Recently, a change both metaphorically and literally has come over the Garden of the Repented. Members now come and go more frequently into space than ever before. Some are gone for months at a time, all claiming to be on the Twilight Vigil. Meanwhile, in a new garden many alien species of flowers have been planted. Some say each flower represent an alien or synth rescued by members of the sect.
The Teachings[]
The main tenets are that through contemplation, one comes to understand the frailty of their mortal soul and that repentance through positive deeds redress those past sins and saves the soul. They also have the pilgrimage to the garden to plant their chosen flower of repentance.
