Chapel of Ghouls

Chapel of Ghouls is a raiding alliance founded by Whisky Pete on October 18th, 2013.

NOTE: This alliance was disbanded as of October 22, 2015.

History
Chapel of Ghouls[CxG] was founded by a former officer of Wasteland Raiders[WR] after the WR empire collapsed. This officer was himself the leader of a "religious" organization within WR known as The Church of Mabel and/or The Church of the Damned. Much like the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Mabel was one of the few institutions to survive the fall of an empire. Whisky Pete, after short stints with Raiders of Pudding[PW](now disbanded) and Imperium of Mankind[IOM], had resolved to take his old job back and restore the Church of Mabel to its former glory, minus the Mabel due to an internal strife of leadership that resulted in hostilities between Pete and the remaining members of the Wasteland Raiders. In doing this, he gained a following of fellow veterans of the fallen WR empire and rapidly gained a bigger congregation of warriors willing to march and die for the cause.

NOTE: While CxG is a continuation of a former WR institution, it is fully independant of WR and is not connected to the WR family in any way.
