Children of Etro

a term from a game

The Children of Etro is a group of religious zealots in the city of Luxerion. Worshipers of the Goddess Etro, the group is determined to kill Lightning because of a prophecy which states she will destroy the world.

Appearance
The Children of Etro all wear identical garb: a white habit tailing off into a halved skirt and covered by intricate silver markings, boots, large white hoods and masks covering the top halves of their faces. While male members of the cult have coverings on their arms and legs, female members have bear arms and legs. All the cultists members bear a rusty gold-colored axe similar to the axes wielded by Anubys monsters.

Story
When Lightning arrives in Luxerion, the authorities are investigating the murder of several pink-haired people. The murders are linked to the Children of Etro, whose cult centers around a prophecy contained within an Oracle Drive that states the Savior will destroy the world if unopposed. While the Savior's name is a mystery, it is known by the members of the Children of Etro that the title belongs to a pink-haired woman. Lightning is asked to aid the Luxerion authorities in their investigation, and as a part of her mission, she must find the code which permits access to the cult's secret lair. In the trailer for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII titled "13 Days", Lightning is seen defending the cult's latest victim.
