Exodus (Sect)

The Exodus (Russian: Исход) are a faction featured in Towards the Light.

Overview
Cannibals from the Kronstadt Sea Refuge. They live on the island of Kotlin, finding other survivors and devouring them. One of their elders came up with the idea of ​​stopping fellow travelers and keeping them in cages, so they had a prolific food source. However, a plauge, which swept along Kronstadt, killed half of the cannibals and their victims.

The elders, having created the false "Exodus" religion, decided on sending adherents into the St. Petersburg Metro, and also lit the lights on the city lighthouse for greater attraction. At each station, the Exodus sectarians claimed that a ship (also called "The Ark”) had entered the Gulf of Finland from Vladivostok to save the inhabitants of the metro, and landed at Kronstadt. They believed that this ship was the only chance for the people to be rescued, and saw signs confirming their theory in everything.

In fact, the goal of the sect leaders is different - to lure people towards Kronstadt, where they are killed and later eaten. The sectarians are armed with a tug with a mounted gun. In September 2033, this sect was discovered by Gleb and his stepfather Taran and subsequently ceased to exist due to a lack of food.

Trivia

 * Cannibals from the Yamantau bunker ("The Ark") in Metro Exodus were inspired by this faction.
