Loosely based on the &#039;&#039;&#039;In Memoria, Adytum&#039;&#039;&#039; canon, the plot revolves around Ion&#039;s return to Earth and the Nälkä&#039;s attempts to return to Adytum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
The plotline within Ikuuna is inspired by the In Memoria, Adytum canon that&#039;s written in the SCP Wiki, it is also loosely inspired by events that happen with the Sarkic Cults as a community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot ==&lt;br /&gt;
Over two thousand years have passed since the First Occult War, which resulted in Ion being banished to the Nevermeant, and his Deathless Empire crumbling to ashes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Key Factions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Sarkic Cults ===&lt;br /&gt;
Consisting of various sects scattered throughout the world, the Sarkic Cults are the result of the great diaspora of the Kalmaktama Empire during the Bronze Age Collapse. Some sects are isolated, while a good number of them are currently unified thanks to the return of Grand Karcist Ion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Daevites ===&lt;br /&gt;
Former slave masters of the Sarkic Cults, the Daevites are a matriarchal theocracy that were crushed following Ion&#039;s slave revolt and rise to power.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Church of the Broken God ===&lt;br /&gt;
Followers of Mekhane, the Church of the Broken God (CotBG) are religious zealots that share polar opposite beliefs to Sarkicism, their feud dating back to the First Occult War when the Mekhanite Empire formed a coalition with several other nations to fight against the Kalmaktama. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Foundation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Often referred to as &amp;quot;Jailors&amp;quot; by the Sarkic Cults, the Foundation view the Sarkic Cults with mixed opinions, some see them as a threat to the veil of secrecy, while others see them as beneficial to aiding the Foundation.  &lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Ikuun&#039;&#039;&#039; – A metaphysical state of being; those who achieve Ikuun are considered &amp;quot;awakened&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
The origins of the Sarkic Cults trace back to forgotten civilizations and ancient gods. Over time, their teachings have resurfaced in various forms, often hidden or persecuted by mainstream society.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Influence ==&lt;br /&gt;
Though fictional, the Ikuuna Canonnspiration from real-world mysticism, ancient rites, and body horror. It’s often used as a narrative base in games, stories, and roleplay settings involving transformation, cults, and metaphysical horror.&lt;br /&gt;

Loosely based on the &#039;&#039;&#039;In Memoria, Adytum&#039;&#039;&#039; canon, the Ikuuna Universe combines elements of cosmic horror, body transformation, and spiritual ascension through biological manipulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
The Sarkic Cults within the Ikuuna Canon reject modern technology and mainstream religion in favor of pre-modern traditions, often involving the use of fleshcraft, rituals, and pacts with ancient entities. Their philosophy revolves around personal transcendence and liberation from the limitations of the human body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Beliefs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Flesh as Sacred&#039;&#039;&#039;: The human body is seen as a mutable vessel. Through rituals and willpower, adherents reshape themselves to achieve enlightenment.&lt;br /&gt;

* &#039;&#039;&#039;Ascension Through Suffering&#039;&#039;&#039;: Pain and transformation are part of the spiritual path.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Key Factions ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Greater Sarkicism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Focused on large-scale biological manipulation. Led by powerful figures known as &#039;&#039;&#039;Kar&#039;cists&#039;&#039;&#039;, these factions aim to awaken ancient powers and remake the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lesser Sarkicism ===&lt;br /&gt;
Smaller cults with local influence. Their practices vary widely, from minor rituals to full-blown mutation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
