The Cult of Kosmos was one of several groups that would later develop into the Order of the Knights Templar.[1]
History
Trojan War
Agamemnon founded the Cult of Kosmos during the Trojan War and united all of Greece.[1]
Greco-Persian Wars
The Cult notably supported King Xerxes I of Persia during his conquests, seing him as a mean to unite all Greece as one under his rule. When Leonidas consulted the Oracle at Delphi about going to war against the Persians, the whole Cult confronted the Spartan King, telling him to not oppose their plan. Nevertheless, Leonidas choose to disregard their threats and fight against the invaders. An act of defiance which cost him his life but ultimately stopped the plans of the Kosmos Cultists.[1]
Peloponnesian War
Several decades later, the Cult orchestrated the Peloponnesian War in an effort to achieve control of Greece amidst the conflict of the country's two most notable city-states. This conflict put them at odds with the mercenary Kassandra, who fought to stop the cult's plans for control over Greece.[1]
Foundations and Beliefs
Much like their Egyptian counterparts, the Order of the Ancients, and their future incarnations, the Templar Order, the Cult of Kosmos are not at all polytheistic and have a deistic belief system. According to Aspasia, the nations in Greece were already chaotic and the Cult wanted to use a controlled war so as to create a clean slate so as to establish an orderly and unified Greek Nation, one where there will be no more violence and the people will move towards a more rational and developing society, which will be build by the people for the people. Aspasia mentioned this would require a very wise and philosophical king.
Some members of the Cult did however idolize and worship the people with the Bloodline, truly believing them to be actual demigods, such as Deimos. The members of the Cult had soon grown chaotic and greedy and used the Chaos to earn massive amounts of profits and political power.
