Where was it mentioned that they are still active? IIRC their veil of secrecy has gone kaput after Astaroth was vanquished (there's a part of me that thinks that a certain Ex-President might've had a hand in exposing them, possibly while he was regaling people of his stories during his campaign), but nowhere was it said that they're still out and about.

I'm under the impression that the abandoned church is a different cult entirely. It doesn't reek of typical SoA tactics to me tbh. Otherwise the Lady in Black would've been offering Orion the usual spiel that Astaroth or his cronies would've been giving (i.e. Serve Astaroth, Join him and he will give you your wildest fantasies, You have no chance against Astaroth so join him, yada yada yada) instead of asking for help and being associated with the dead.

Also I was under the impression that the cult that were banished from Warthogs and the Syndicate are one and the same, but that's just me.

And yes, it's been mentioned by Mike that the cult still has tendrils all over the globe, which is why they were going to globe hop for a while. But without a central influence and the heads of the Sons rotting six feet under, the likelihood of them still being a major faction during the events of Eternum has zero chance of happening (especially since there's no mention that a new leader has stepped in). If anything, they're probably splintered by now (with the likelihood of infighting being high with no leadership present), with some likely moving on or creating a new cult from the ashes (though I doubt they would reach the same heights of power that the SoA ever achieved...they'll probably need otherworldly help for that).

I don't think the Cult of Astaroth has that much power now. Eternum's events takes place years after OIALT. And remember, only Astaroth and his 5 followers actually know the face of the MC. After the 5 Princes and Astaroth's deaths, and with MC on the run, I don't think they'd even know where to look. They don't even know the face of the guy they're supposed to be looking for. So yeah, the entire cult's done and dusted at this point.

I personally think the Cult mentioned there was just something within Eternum's story itself. With Astaroth's death, it wouldn't make sense for the Sons of Astaroth to assemble there, because their goals are already dust. I think the cult in warthogs has something more in relation with this mysterious syndicate that keeps on popping out here and there on Orion's head. After all, he did have a dream of that church

If you mean the ? that appear in the gallery, it's either the one reserved for the side girls like Maat and Eva and possibly other that should appear during the story ( I consider Calypso and Idriel as possible candidates).

The other main LI's are already there: Annie, Nancy, Dalia, Penelope, Luna, Alex and Nova in this order. :)

Ah, you know I figured that too but didn’t hurt to ask just to be sure. 7 LI’s is good enough imo. My list keeps shuffling with each girl’s new content and especially when it feels like we are getting Luna’s “slow burn” route.

A Calypso scene is likely I feel. Based off how she’s written being naive and her interactions with Orion I feel it’s trending there. Idriel on the other hand, I’m hoping but if she just remains as a plot device & ultimately “untouchable” that would suck.

Swear tho, if Idriel has no scene but freaking Gertrude starts coming onto us, oh we fighting.

Considering how worried she was for her marriage when Nancy supposedly told her the "dangers" of playing Eternum (to the point that she was duped in giving Nancy the implant for a low price), I think we're pretty safe in that regard...















...Charlotte, on the other hand...

Agreed, but I think Gertrude is there just for the fun mostly, a little like it was for the girl in OIAL that in the end married Oliver, nothing more....
Well Idriel for now is surely an untouchable character in the long run who knows, I would certainly like to add her to the list of side girls, that's sure, I guess we will see... :)

I just rewatched Ready Player One because I kinda miss it a bit, and I just realized something.

Since Eternum's premise is a bit similar to Ready Player One, I wonder if we'll get something similar to the Climax of Ready Player One in planet doom, where a majority of Eternum's players team up to fight big bad in a future update. Ohhh boy, that'll be an easter egg fest for sure.

What do you think Nancy's empire-building efforts are for?

Completely slipped my mind that she was worried about infidelity to the point that she sold her implant to Nancy lol. Lowkey, I feel like Gertrude played the “Chang” role on this update. Purely comedic relief.

…on charlotte. One playthrough just to see it & then I’m Quick Loading.. her line of “what cruel fate is this?” made me like her a character a bit & I wouldn’t mind seeing her a bit more worshipping Penny
