The Three Sisters

Lore & Background

According to scattered writings recovered from ruined shrines, the Three Sisters were devotees who offered themselves to the Mother during a time when the faith was still taking root in these lands. Their names are largely lost to time and heresy, but their sacrifice is cited by certain zealots as proof of the Mother's benevolence, despite the brutal nature of their end. These texts suggest they did not die willingly in the eyes of all, hinting at a darker history involving the Cult of the Flesh or early Penitent orders. Their legacy survives only in the form of relics and prayers that occasionally surface in the hands of wandering penitents, serving as both inspiration and warning.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled through the hollowed bones of the old shrine, carrying dust that tasted like iron. The Penitent One knelt before a cracked stone altar, where a small wooden box lay open. Inside rested three simple rosaries, worn smooth by anxious fingers. A faded note beneath them spoke of sisters who walked into the Cenote and never returned, their faith the only offering left behind.
