The Church of Higher Divinity
The Church of Higher Divinity, informally known as the Hyranian Death Cult, was a religious movement founded in 2294 SE by Aldrias the Resolute. It preached that a utopian afterlife existed and consequently that murder and suicide were righteous acts to accelerate a mortal's soul to eternal happiness and divinity. The group is best known for the Hyranian Death Cult Massacre, a global religious fervor in which its members committed genocide against all races of higher life. It lasted 22 years, between 2451-2473 SE, and killed between 30-35% of the global population.
