** UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte defeated England and laid the foundations for French hegemony over Europe. His son Napolé on II [[SuperiorSuccessor goes even further, conquering huge swaths of the Middle East, liberating Jerusalem, founding the United Empire of Europa, and being canonized as a saint.]] His successors then proceed to bungle everything up, with Napoléon III doing absolutely nothing of note other than dying in a pool of his own piss and vomit, and Napoléon IV bringing France into a World War that wounds their prestige and costs them in money and manpower. Only time will tell if Napoléon V will reverse this downward trend.

* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Charles Dexter Armitage is very transparently modeled off of UsefulNotes/AleisterCrowley, with his writings about the Worm at times echoing Crowley's Thelema. Very telling about [[CrapsackWorld the setting we're in]] that the guy who went around calling himself 'the Great Beast 666' is saner and far less evil than his counterpart here.


Added DiffLines:

** The depraved founder of the Worm cult Charles Dexter Armitage is named in honor of [[Literature/TheCaseOfCharlesDexterWard two of]] [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror HP Lovecraft's characters]].

Added DiffLines:

* ApocalypseCult: The Cult of the Worm serves as this, venerating a serpent god said to feed off of bloodshed and war. Followers carry out actions to cause mass death, including working on nuclear weapons, flooding vast swathes of the Congo and [[spoiler: unleashing biological and chemical weapons on Britain]].
