Cult of the Emerald Heart

Type: Heretical religious order | Lifestyle: Solo mendicant wanderers | Implant origin: Putriea

Self-designated the Church of the Emerald Heart; outsiders name them Cult.

Exiled healers who wander the sector tending the otherwise-terminal. Each bears an Emerald Heart — a Precursor organ grown on Putriea that fuses with or replaces the biological heart. The implant transforms the bearer and grants healing beyond conventional medicine. They preach a heretical gospel: the Heart is the true instrument of divine mercy.
