Los is a civilized ghoul civilization based in Texas.

Historical background

The descendants of the original Church of the Lost, the city of Los has become a refugee for ghouls, such as those who participated in the Great Migration from Necropolis, with the main practices emphasizing an individual path one can take to attain perfect wisdom, as compared to the previous Church's values of ghoul supremacy.[1]

Politics

National spirits

Los starts with one national spirit:

The Church of the Lost icon
The Church of the Lost
  • Division Defense on core territory: +7.5%
  • Max Entrenchment: +6.0
  • Appeal to Refugees: +5.00%
  • Infantry Technology Research Speed: +10%
  • Demolitions Technology Research Speed: +20.0%
The Church of the Lost is the religion of the ghouls living within Los. Its followers try to follow a path towards achieving "Perfect Wisdom" - hoarding secrets and relics of the past so that they can be protected and used to achieve this state of perfect wisdom.
At one point, under Blake this church also practised values promoting Ghoul supremacy over humans - under the new leadership of Sappho those tendencies have been marginalized in favour of a individual path one can take to wisdom, rather then one that requires the subjugation of others.
