The "faith" of Tchun the Sleeper was best described not as a formal religion, but rather instead almost as a kind of sickness. Tchunism could strike without warning: it began with gloomy dreams of a sleeping giant locked in ice; gradually these dreams increased in intensity and terror until even waking life was a frenzied affliction of haunted visions. Tchunites, once they fully succumbed to their dreadful faith, became obsessed with performing acts of extreme wickedness in pursuit of the seemingly impossible task of awakening "Tchun the Sleeper." Merely hearing the name of Tchun could sow the seeds of madness in the weak-minded. It was one of the City's greatest horrors. | The "faith" of Tchun the Sleeper was best described not as a formal religion, but rather instead almost as a kind of sickness.

The plague of Tchunism eventually culminated in great cataclysm | The plague of Tchunism eventually culminated in great cataclysm wherein which Tchun the Sleeper arose at last. The streets ran red with blood. Gentle hearts grew hard and vicious. Cruel madness scythed through every level of society. But as the world teetered on collapse, brave heroes rose to unseat this ancient evil and (at great cost) returned the Sleeper to his slumber. Their efforts sent Tchun's icy prison hurling toward the darkest, farthest edges of reality, as a dread comet streaking across the night sky. As a consequence of this banishment, Tchunism has widely faded from the world, with only a few scattered holdouts remaining. | ||
Although no new infections of Tchunism are known to occur, if you would like to play a surviving slave of Tchun, feel welcome to send '''DM whyemmdee''' a message on the EFU forum to discuss your potential character, or otherwise file a formal application for your concept through '''[[EFUSL2]]'''. | |||
