The Tchortists are a faction.

Description

This section needs expansion with general info.

At a first glance, the tchortists are a mysterious pseudo-scientific/religious organization who worship a being called Tchort. They are usually easily recognizable from the Tchortist Robes they wear.

History of Tchortism

See also Original Report.

Tchortism came to an abrupt end just before its 100th anniversary celebration.

  • Faceless invade the Institute, killing everyone inside
  • Tchort is destroyed in Deep Caverns
  • Harmost Stavros abandons Cytosine Outpost and leads the remaining rassophores back into Underrail
  • Eidein's corpse disappears along with the faceless

Ranks

These are the main Tchortist ranks, as encountered in Underrail.

Preservation section Investigation section Propagation section
Founder Eidein
Section leader Harmost Episkopos Provost
Higher section ranks Mediant Principal Investigators
(biology, chemistry, physics)
Curator, Praepostor
Middle section ranks Efreitors Investigators Ministers
Lower section ranks Rassophores
(Ekrixphores, Pirophores,
Skopeftophores, Recombinants)
Assistant Investigators Acolytes, Missionaries
Trainees Novitiates
Candidates Postulants

Additionally, ministers are split into assistant ministers, associate ministers and (full) ministers, but this distinction is not clear in Underrail. Judicator is a rank of the judicatory section which does not have significant role or presence in Underrail. Monsignor is a honorary title that can be granted regardless of rank.
