== <big>Starting a cult</big> ==
After the game starts, you will have some time to prepare and plan before one of the initial cultists gets Beckon the Monument ability by a vote.

The placement of the monument is one of the most important things to a cult, so be careful with where you use the ability

== <big>Growing your power</big> ==
By siphoning the entropy of the crew and converting new cultists you raise the progression of the monument. As soon as a certain thresholds are reached the monument moves to a new tier, allowing for stronger abilities, new glyphs and making the presence of the cult stronger

==== Second Tier ====
You recieve a message, after which you have two minutes until the monument reaches second tier. As soon as it does, the malign rifts appear around the station, converting objects they touch into cult alternatives. Absorbing a malign rift will Empower you

==== Third Tier ====
At third tier the cultists are revealed by a and the monument becomes visible to non-cultists. After a short time the cultists can start beckoning the unknown which is the cultist win condition. After the beckoning starts the cultists need to protect the monument until the unknow is summoned, with each conversion during that time lowering time needed until the summon happens

==== Empowered cultists ====
After absorbing a malign rift you become empowered. Being empowered allows you to get double the entropy from the Siphon Entropy, makes you immune to space and your cultist abilities become stronger. Unlocks the ability for you to start a Chantry Ritual on a cyborg

== <big>Glyphs and you</big> ==
You can scribe glyphs at the monument and click or interact to activate them. Activating the glyphs deals asphyxation damage to all nearby cultists as a cost, so be careful not to crit your friends. There are six Glyphs in total, with two unlocking at each tier of the monument

''"Knowledge. Instills the spark of indelible knowledge. Able to convert most to join our ranks."''

''"Projection. Allows us to ascend in a temporary astral form to spy on those around us."''

Allows you to scout around the station like a ghost. Your projection is invisible to other people
