Hmm, lets see what I can do...
There is the Father of Creation and his two Holy Disciples, both religious zealots who are believed to have the power to smite anything that they disagree with. Their followers believe that they created the Known Universe after continual nightmares, with their horrors becoming manifested as real creatures. Most of what is really known about the universe is contained within a Bible whose contents are said to be mind altering to those that have read it.
To make sure that their followers are true and loyal, the Bible is only released to those that have sacrificed their first born to the Trinity and those that distribute it otherwise are said to be struck by lightening by the Disciple known as Man-with-Strange-Hair. Their followers worship the Trinity and hope that through praise and monetary donations they will be allowed to understand more and more of the universe.
The Trinity has fallen in popularity in the last few years, but is currently increasing its membership. It is rumoured that several new guides to the Bible will be released by the Trinity soon, but the followers are still awaiting for a indication of when...
