| The original((probably)) Lorelei Wildner, apparently accompanied by fellow former inmate Elena Tyrell, used her experience of b-Exagora to rip apart the society of a planet and its moon at the fringe of the Empire. Her followers stated that she chose this society for its fascist oligarchy; less an expression of disapproval as a cleverly-targeted ground for recruitment of those ripe for alternative ideology. Inspirational, horrifying and bewildering in varying degrees depending on the observer, her rise to cultdom confounded authorities. The movement, although its emergence and modus operandi appeared similar to the concurrent planetary takeovers by the Sovereign Family, never claimed to be allied with the Sovereign Family. | The original((probably)) Lorelei Wildner, apparently accompanied by fellow former inmate Elena Tyrell, used her experience of b-Exagora to rip apart the society of a planet and its moon at the fringe of the Empire.

| - | The cult consumed several cities and large regions of the planet and moon. Less than a decade later, a nearby planet was known to be extensively inhabited by primrose cultists. Their influence waxed and waned, and Lorelei herself – any Lorelei claimed to be Lorelei herself – seems to have dedicated the remainder of her life to recruiting followers, terrifying the rest of humanity, and curbing the constant falter into anarchy and theism. Lorelei((universally)) opposed worship, but drank down devotion: an idiom of hers((plural)) spread through humanity: //blind devotion to an institution is the most poisonous expression of constraint, but devotion freely and knowingly given is perhaps the most valuable currency.// | + | The cult consumed several cities and large regions of the planet and moon.

| The force of belief – of what they called the rejection of logos, of the resurgence of primal life – in her followers was said to be so intense as to overwhelm the observer. Those in neighbouring cities described tumultuous rebellion, massacres, and apparently dialogue-free nights of ceaseless howling and laughter. This was called out by some interpreters as ironic reflections of the cults' reputation. Reports rose of great gatherings of people with great overarcing purpose but no obvious //aim//. Both fear and admiration of the cult were represented in the mainstream Elysian media. Calls for the Elysian Military to become involved went unanswered. The Tripartite War between the Empire, the Tel and Bel-Ashan had not yet concluded, and the influence of the Sovereign Family was alluded to. Ties were evident with the power hubs of Verm Ambrose and Athena Ibsen. All told, concerning the primrose cult's ascension and spread, conspiracy theorists found orgasmic troves of material. | The force of belief – of what they called the rejection of logos, of the resurgence of primal life – in her followers was said to be so intense as to overwhelm the observer.
