13 Outer Cults

So, I’ve been trying to figure out how the various powers in these episodes might be sorted into the 13 corridors mentioned in MAG 35. I think I might have it figured out.

1. Mr. Pitch (Dark Water, Rainer)- his darkness is always portrayed as “like ink”, and whenever he comes through , characters always mention stale water.

2. The Lightless Flame

3. The earth/Claustrophobia (The Governor) (Lost Johns, Underground…)

4. The Vast (Ex Altiora, Fairchilds)

5. The Stranger (The Unknowing)

6. The Spiral (Michael, Es Mentiras)

7. Mr. Spider (Raymond, Annabelle,) - might also represent the Hunter.

8. Alone (Lucas Family)

9. Famine/Meat (cannibal and meat episodes)

10. The Piper ( War/Savagery )

11. The Hive ( Pestilence, Amhurst/Prentiss)

12. The End

13. The Beholder

I remember people had already come around to the four horsemen and elemental ideas, but I hadn’t seen anyone lay out all 13 yet, so there we go.





*(Edit: So we’re been tossing things around; currently it looks like the Spider and the Hunter exist as separate entities, bringing the total to 14. I’ll try to come up with a separate icon soon!



Also, adopting some of the names used by HumidNebula, fxktn, and others in the red string brigade on Reddit!)
