Cult of the Red Wanderer

Humanity was ever drawn to a nomadic existence akin to that of the Red Wanderer, Mars traversing the skies of the Cradle Earth. Among the first souls to arrive on Mars were those pioneers and colonists most driven by their ambition and urge to wander, to discover, to find new ways of living in a cosmos as hostile as the Martian wastes. These unyielding souls did not only remain through all struggle, they survived much of the perils striking down the first Martian colonies.

Forged in hardship and under the wrathful forces of the Red Wandering Planet, these Pioneers were formed into relentless followers of a sole cause: Wayfare, Ambition, Freedom.

Rulers of the red desert
The Cult of the Red Wanderer is not a nation per se, but an organization of tremendous power, interwoven with all centers of population on the red planet. Even more, its followers carry the message of Mars outward and on many worlds with a similar history, pioneers have reemerged from their sedentary life. The Red Wanderers are planetary nomads of the Heliopolis and carry old and mysterious knowledge about the worlds on their endless way.
