Mormo Death Cycle
From Plastic Tub
In current Mormo rites, worshippers believe that a massacre or bloodbath must be undertaken every five years in order to placate their hungry god. While any blood will do, the belief is that the more innocent the victims and outrageous the sacrifices are, the better the coming cycle will be. Often this takes the form of a mother killing her own children or even better, school shootings. What is essential to the ritual is that an innocent person is blamed. What results are the most fiendishly clever counterfeits ever handed to the public.
The victims need not be human. In one instance, the slaughter of sacred elephants was employed with great success.
