Monastery of the Sky King

"The Monastery of the Sky King believe that the worsening of this apocalyptic situation was caused by the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony, a belief reflected in their lifestyles, in which they rely on casual attire for the strictest dress code yet. As an old recording indicates, they're not entirely insane. Saying "God did it" and demonstrating miracles was an easier way to get people into a lifestyle that would allow them to survive than trying to explain the fancy dynamics of the situation."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Tertullius (chapter)

The Monastery of the Sky King, commonly referred to as Fanatics, is a faction in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away. They are hostile to Su Ji-Hoon and the entire Team Razgriz, and are led by Tertullius.

Overview
The Monastery of the Sky King is a religious cult that worships the Sky King, a monstrously large avian mutant made by the scientists,metamorphosed changelings and kirins who were from Gerasecia. They are extremely against formal events, and view attending formal events as a mortal sin. While they do trade with certain outsiders, they view most with suspicion, if not outright hostility. In order to join their ranks, one must renounce all luxuries, formal party decorations, invitations, and even formal wear, which is then either destroyed or stored in a nearby terminal so it can be "purified" by the Sky King. If a cult member breaks the rules, they are usually punished by being forced to do dangerous or even suicidal jobs, such as exorcising sparkle-like demons that magically transforms oneself into formal clothing and look formal (similar to the Crystal Heart's magic). Their attitude and views are largely shaped by Tertullius, their charismatic leader.

Sometime after the How I Can Help Make the World Great ceremony, individuals started religious institutions in opposition of special occasions. Cultists see the Gerasecian greater basilisks (alongside with the Sky King) as servants of the gods or archangels that are displeased with mankind's evil happenings and events (mainly done by event planners), and punish them for it.

They pray that the Gerasecian greater basilisks' attacks will rid them of the evil in their hearts and deliver them from suffering. They view the How I Can Help Make the World Great Committee as false prophets and the actions of all event planners made by unholy individuals who do not understand the message of salvation. Their devout beliefs make non-believers extremely uncomfortable with them.
