Members of this cult sacrifice their identity for the cult itself.

Magic

The members of the cult of the Nameless could be anyone. Strict allegiance to the cult is not something that is required, leaving many to suspect that large amounts of the congregation maintain their identities outside of the cult's base. Despite these beliefs, anyone may be anyone else while in uniform. No questions are allowed to be asked, at least while the uniform is still being worn.

A unique cocktail that is the result of a culmination of spells that mingle with mind control influences that strip the victim or imbiber of their sense of self and identity.

The cult bolsters it's numbers by baptizing others within The Ichor. Once submerged, it remains on them for as long as they wander the halls of the Nameless. There is a belief that The Ichor maintains itself by the very act of suppressing the identities of those who are clad in it, or even by the very motions their bodies make in it. A sort of symbiotic relationship is formed.

Another belief amongst others is that The Ichor subsists off of the individuality of the members much like how the members benefit from it's ability to suppress identity. In this way The Ichor is given the ability to experience true separation from the rest of it's mass as it coalesces across it's host and they move about the city in true anonymity.
