Church of Eden

The Church of Eden was a doomsday cult before the Beginning created in 2011 by Aaron, a veteran of the Second Gulf War, based outside of London. It had only about 150 members before the First Collapse, later known as the Beginning.

Founding
Before the Beginning, Aaron was a veteran of the Gulf War who had become disenfranchised with society after seeing the media and cultural attacks on the Gulf War cause. Aaron moved his family to just outside of London on God's orders and set up a church after leaving the army.

While the Church of Eden didn't get nearly as many members as Crown Prince Aaron's cult, it did attract the attention of the British government, who harassed the very openly isolationist cult. In one incident a police officer shot and killed a young man who belonged to the Church after he threatened police to get off the cult's land.

On December 2, 2011, several rouge Church of Eden members launched an attack on London, detonating a makeshift bomb and then opening fire on passersby, largely in retaliation for the murder of their fellow member.

While all eight members were killed, they managed to kill or wound over three dozen people, including seven policemen.

The next morning, police showed up the small church the cult owned outside London, where several hundred members were attending sermon. The police threatened and then brutally dragged the members, including Aaron, from the church, threatening to take them back to the city in dog catching cars.

As they were rounded up,several nuclear bombs detonated in London and the surrounding countryside, marking the Collapse that Aaron had foretold. The police were instantly killed and the members took refuge in a bunker under the church.

It is unknown what happened to them after.
