The Cult of Lyn Internal Hierarchy
by @Cyndi4U

The Cult of Lyn has a complicated organizational structure, with different member classes, roles, and groups that all intersect. Here's what is known broken down:


All members are assigned an ID that's comprised of four parts. To explain, I'll start with an example: δ1-0011LL. First, I'll split it into the three components; δ, 1, and 0011LL.


First, there the member classes. When a member is recruited into the Cult of Lyn, they are placed at the bottom of the class hierarchy as a ρ/P (rho) and make their way up the hierarchy with time and training. Below is a comprehensive list of classes, ordered from least influence to most.

  • Pupil (ρ, rho)
  • Pupil in Action (P, rho)
  • Private (τ, tau)
  • Sergeant (T, tau)
  • Lieutenant (γ, gamma)
  • Captain (Γ, gamma)
  • Special Ops (o, omicron)
  • Silent Ops (O, omicron)
  • Lieutenant General (φ, phi)
    • Weapons Designer (δ, delta)
    • Accountant (α, alpha)
  • General (Φ, phi)
    • Weapons Director (Δ, delta)
    • Treasurer (A, Alpha)
  • Priest (ψ, psi)
  • Bishop (Ψ, psi)
  • Cardinal (ω, omega)
  • Prophet (Ω, omega)

Now, looking at our example member ID (δ1-0011LL), we can see they’re a class delta, a.k.a. a Weapons Designer, which has the same level of influence as a Lieutenant.


Next, the second character in the ID. This is known as your ascension level. This character is a hexadecimal number from 0 to 6 and represents your progress towards “ascension” in Lynism, the Lynist religion. The lower your ascension level, the closer you are to achieving your "Day of Ascension," a significant event for members of Lynism, and if it’s a 0 you've already achieved it.

With our example, we can see that our member, δ1-0011LL, is an ascension level 1.


Lastly, the characters after the dash. This is the unique member ID (or UID) and is comprised of six letters and numbers. This is a unique identifier for each member and is often treated as if it's the member's name.

In our example, our member is identified as 0011LL. Note that this is probably an actual member UID in use, as they are estimated to have multiple millions of members.


As a final note, it seems that every part of a member's ID is variable except for their UID. They may move up or down the class structure as a reward or punishment, they may get promoted from γ to Γ, or move from ascension level 5 to 3, but their UID will always remain the same.
