The Cult of Osiris, also known as the Followers of Osiris, is a religious group composed of the non-Guardian disciples of the exiled Warlock Osiris. Although none of the Cult's members met Osiris until the months following the Red War, they zealously followed his teachings in an attempt to understand the true nature of Light and Darkness. In an effort to recruit Guardians to their cause, the Cult hosted the Trials of Osiris Crucible tournament.
Overview
The Cult of Osiris originally maintained a camp at The Lighthouse in Caloris Spires on Mercury, and permitted only the victors of the Trials of Osiris to enter. At some point, this camp was abandoned in favor of a new sanctuary, also called The Lighthouse, in the Fields of Glass overlooking the main gateway to the Vex's Infinite Forest.
Some of the Cult's writings include the "Parables of the Allspring" and the "Fractal Scrolls". Cultists have a low opinion of the Speaker for having exiled Osiris, some going so far as to call him a charlatan.[1]
