А вообще в плане идей для культа поклоняющихся магов-апокалиптиков идеально подходят уже упоминавшаяся мной "Second Sight". Краткие выдержки:
Alien Gods: These beings are deities in scope and
power, but, unlike whatever gods may exist in the worlds
that mortals inherit, these entities are alien. Monstrous in
the most primitive sense of the word. These Things are not
dead, and may lie waiting, stretching out their infl uence
to bring about a time when they will rise again, or to bring
about the alignment of events and fates that will allow them
to enter the world and as tyrants. The requirements for such
invasions range from the horrifi c to the simply inexplicable,
as the bizarre needs that compel the beings are abhorrent
and diametrically at odds with sanity. Alien gods are perhaps
of the most common patrons of antagonists who try to bring
about the end of the world, or to set themselves up as high
priests. Alien gods are also quite applicable for any villain
working from an alienation standpoint. As your character
deviates so far from humanity, she is able to commune with
the foreign more so than with the commonplace.
Chaos and Bubbling Creation: These beings are not
so alien to the nature of the world as others proposed here,
because chaotic beings were part of the foundation of the
universe. They are, however, foreign and dangerous to the
current form of the universe as they represent Creation at
its wildest and most uncontained, the chaotic and spurting
impulse of fecundity unchecked. They are beings that would
devour the world even as they copulate with it, endlessly
and mindlessly consuming and creating in blasting cycles
that have no rhyme, logic or reason. These entities are
bubbling yeast, endlessly procreating bacterial forces that
overwhelm everything with their sexual, generative, mindless
energies. Obviously, they are attractive to antagonists
inspired by lust, as chaotic beings represent an orgasmic,
orgiastic and endless stream of belching, unthinking pleasure
and penetration. They also hold a certain draw for those
coming from ennui as they offer an alternative to thought
and boredom, a constant dying and becoming, a spurting
bliss that destroys any chance for the mundane as it destroys
any chance for having a sense of self or a thought that lasts
longer than a moment.
Demons of the Outer Darkness: Unlike demons of the
Hells, these creatures are not predicated on any human mythology.
In fact, they’re usually alien to it, creatures so beyond the
human mind that knowing their true nature is all but impossible.
They’re creatures from beyond the stars, out of other
realms of existence, whose nature is alien and dangerous to
humans as well as actively malicious toward life. Unlike other
classes, however, these Things of have one weakness — they
can be killed, and killed by mortals. That’s not to say it’s easy
to do so. Few mortals could hope to kill even the weakest of
these entities, and the most powerful can decimate an army.
But outer things are subject to the laws of death and destruction,
despite all the wrongness of their existence.
Creatures of the outer dark are particularly attractive
to antagonists with backgrounds in corruption and hatred
— mortals may foolishly assume they can control such
“vulnerable” forces. Outer demons are also very potent at
bringing about direct destruction. Their powers and services
can be used with more accuracy than those of most beings.
Each of these outer things has its own goals and motivations,
though few of them are comprehensible. Those that
are understandable seem to be based on feeding (often on
life energy, though sometimes on flesh), procreating and
expanding their knowledge and influence.
Flaws in Reality: These beings are not personages or
intelligences, but forces given personality only by the delusions
and madness of those who worship them. These Things are not
phantasms, for they are a source of power among supplicants
who unhinge and debase their minds and souls suffi ciently
to interact. This category of Thing encompasses fractures
in reality, the fl aws that are inherent to any structure. These
fl aws may be known as “the errors of God” and are feared with
a more intimate dread than many other threats, for they are
not apart from reality, but are the part of reality that destroys
the rest. Flaws do not try, plan or desire to cause ruin — they
simply do by defi nition. Reality fl aws are worshiped by those
who are tormented and given to hatred, as these Things are
easy objects of pain and rage, as well as a means for turning
such emotions into corrupt and wicked power.
Forces of Entropy: Between reality flaws and chaos
things are those that destroy and tear down, beings whose
sole purpose is to bring Creation to nothing. Unlike reality
fl aws, these beings are conscious, though in inscrutable ways
that often prohibit any true communication between them
and any sane human. In many ways, they are both companions
and opposites of chaos things. While wild things
create and generate and rebirth and consume, entropics
destroy utterly so that there can be no renewal. Where
chaotics are hot, wet, roiling life, entropics are cold, dead
entities that draw everything into their black-hole hearts.
Some of them have no appreciable personalities beyond that
nature, or have a personality too alien to grasp. And yet, a
few have aspects that are all too understandable, fi lled with
sly wickedness and hatred, taking delight in degrading and
diminishing the universe. These beings can be subtle, wishing
to corrupt one individual at a time, or as overwhelming
as vast gods wishing to destroy everything at once.
