  • SCP-884-2, a straight razor able to produce a "cut in the surface of the universe", . Through intercepted documents, the SCP Foundation knows the object has been in the possession of the Chaos Insurgency as recently as 1984.
  • SCP-884-4, a men's shaving mirror, made of glass and ivory. Upon initial inspection, anyone using the mirror was unable to perceive the loss of hair in their reflection. Briefly stolen by and recovered from the Insurgency in the 1950s, SCP-884-4 was labeled as a high-value item after failed attempts of theft on the Insurgency's behalf. After fifty years of research, the item was placed in storage after mission statements detailing the Insurgency's motives with SCP-884-4 were recovered: The Insurgency discovered that individuals exposed to the mirror would gradually develop severe impairment in decision making to the point of losing all self preservation. Intentionally losing the mirror to the SCP Foundation, several strike teams were dispatched with the intent of failure in order to increase interest in SCP-884-4 and its exposure to Foundation researchers.
  • SCP-884-7, a pair of tweezers that can provide the wielder with telekinesis.

In August 1952, the facility SCP-1316 resided at, Site-112, was raided by several Chaos Insurgency strike teams, the group stealing several SCP items. During the post-incident investigation, SCP-1316 was identified as a covert listening device and placed in a private enclosure.
• SCP-3937, the remains of an alternate pan-dimensional SCP Foundation's Site-112 occupying the space in a former testing lab of another Site-112. SCP-3937 was teleported to Site-112 after an undercover Chaos Insurgency agent dumped an experimental nootropic in the facility's water supply, drugging the entirety of Site-112's staff into a brief yet unconfirmed collective consciousness.

Religious organizations

Mekhanism

Mekhanism is a Gnostic religion worshiping machinery and intelligence, with origins dating back to the times of Ancient Greece. The Church is monotheistic, holding belief in a mechanical god, Mekhane (A.Gk: Μηχανή, lit. machine), that scripture states to have sacrificed herself to kill or cage another deity, Yaldabaoth, in order to protect her human disciples, the Mekhanites.

Xia Anomalous Culture Group

The Xia Anomalous Culture Group was a paranormal society that existed between 2100 to 1600 BCE, during the legendary Xia dynasty of Ancient China. Members in the Xia culture group practiced a dualistic religion with similarities yet distinctions from later Mekhanist beliefs. Practitioners worshipped Fuxi (epitheted as the Father Serpent or the Brass Dragon) and Nüwa (the Mother Dragon) as the highest powers, the former taking precedence over the latter. Like Mekhanites, the Xia people believed that Fuxi (equivalent to Mekhane) sacrificed himself to trap Nüwa (equvalent to Yaldabaoth) in the Great Brass Cage, their interpretation of Tai Sui. However, their dogma was not to collect but instead separate artifacts of Fuxi, as they believed reassembling Fuxi would release Nüwa from the Great Brass Cage. Like the five Vultaas of Sarkicism, Nüwa had six "beasts" serving her: Hundun, Qiongqi, Taowu, Taotie, Gonggong, and Zhurong.

Worship included "The Way of the Serpent", a process underwent at age twelve to transform into serpentine bodies said to resemble "the Body of the Dragon". .

The Xia Anomalous Culture Group, along with the Xia dynasty, was nearly erased entirely from historical record; the reason for this being it was either destroyed by three-legged crows or undone from history in a conflict known as the Zeroth Occult War. Aside from the religious aspects pertained in Mekhanism and Sarkicism, few physical artifacts from the Xia Anomalous Culture Group exists, with what remains being found in or around the Henan Province. Such known to the SCP Foundation include:

• SCP-2847, a 16-centimeter iron needle that gives the wielder control over bodies of water, with several related anomalies:
  • SCP-2847-1, an underground lake of about six million liters and 2,100m deep. The water within SCP-2847-1 has the physical properties of iron under SCP-2847's effect.
  • SCP-2847-2, a snake-like humanoid genetically similar to Han Chinese, comatose and partially submerged in SCP-2847-1. Identified by SCP-2847-3 as being Gun.
  • SCP-2847-3, an ancient cube-shaped computer containing an artificial intelligence that can communicate with SCP-2847-2. It claims it was constructed by Boyi.
  • SCP-2847-K, a giant serpent approximately 900-meters-long, frozen inside SCP-2847-1. Identified by SCP-2847-3 as being Yu the Great after having been turned into a servant of Nüwa.
• SCP-3847, a 40-meter by 80-meter by 20-meter area where humans will perceive the vocalizations of birds and snakes as, respectively, encouragements or platitudes (SCP-3847-1) and degradations or insults (SCP-3847-2) in their native language. SCP-3847 is also a burial site to around 170 snakes, all with crushed skulls.

• SCP-2309 - A 20-meter-tall and 5-meter-thick metal wall obstructing a mountain pass in the Republic of Georgia, dated to the 6th century BCE. SCP-2309 is invulnerable to damage aside from claw marks that appear in its north face, as it cyclically wears down and regenerates from the unexplained markings. A record from a clay cylinder recovered on site indicates that it is the legendary wall built by Dhu al-Qarnayn, meant to hold back the armies of two Karcists, Yagaha and Mahaga.
• SCP-2406 - The wreck of a 93-meter-tall armored automaton with the skeletal remains of six pilots inside. Located in the Aralkum desert, SCP-2406 was initially discovered by G.R.U.

Sarkicism

Sarkicism, called Nälkä ("The Hunger") by practitioners, is a Proto-Uralic religion or philosophical tradition based on teachings attributed to their prophet and deified founder, the Grand Karcist Ion. Sarkics possess magical abilities to manipulate and grow organic matter, achievable through a symbiotic relationship with white leech-like creatures called akuloths. Most denominations adhere to five core beliefs that: anyone can achieve apotheosis, the will to power is the primary driving force of man, literal or allegorical consumption of a god's flesh accrues magical power, sacrifice of the self benefits the many (or vice versa), and it their right to guide and cultivate organic matter.

According to Sarkic theology, Grand Karcist Ion was born into slavery in the Daevite Empire as the result of an affair between a daev matriarch and one of her slaves. Escaping from captivity, Ion encountered the demiurge Yaldabaoth and its five archons, the Vultaas, who levied six ordeals against him, upon completing which he was bestowed with his god-like abilities. Returning to enact a revolution against the Daevite Empire, Ion acquired many followers, with his most trusted being his four apostles, the Klavigars:

• Klavigar Nadox — A formerly mid-caste philosopher from the empire's southern regions who was tortured and branded as an pariah for his attempts at civil reform. Given sanctuary by Ion, Nadox joined him in waging a rebellion against the daevas. Epitaphed as the Tongueless Speaker, Lord of Mysteries, the All-Seeing, and the Anticipation of Ion; he is associated with intelligence, wisdom, perception, and mysteries.
• Klavigar Lovataar — The daughter of a high-ranking matriarch who became obsessed with catching the rebel Ion, only for Ion to romance her and convince her into leaving the Daevite clergy. Epitaphed as the One Whom Ion Most Desired, the Highblood Redeemer, and the Mother; she is associated with sex, love, eroticism, pleasure, motherhood, disease, and unrestrained reproduction (breeding, cancers, growth).
• Klavigar Orok — A prized genetically-engineered giant gladiator who turned against his mistress to join Ion. Felled in battle against the Mekhanites, his comatose body is kept in a massive temple buried deep below Moscow. Epitaphed as the Horned Beast, the Brute Lord, and the Pale Hunter; he is associated with physical strength, war, violence, wilderness, hunting, and (contradictingly) loyalty and revolt.
• Klavigar Saarn — A child slave girl who was sentenced to death for killing her mistress and her family in their sleep. Personally freed from prison by Ion in one of his revolts, she became his spymaster, establishing an extensive spy network. Epitaphed as the Whisperer, the Coiled Shadow, the Faceless One, and the Judgment of Ion, she is associated with darkness, secrecy, deception, poison, assassination, and karmic justice.

Upon overtaking the Daevite capital of Adí-üm, Grand Karcist Ion and the Klagivars founded the Deathless Empire (Adytite: Kalmaktama), which lasted until it went to war with the Mekhanite Empire. With the collapse of both empires, Adí-üm was banished from Earth to "the Neverment", and Grand Karcist Ion with it. Practitioners and remnants of the empire persist in two distinct strands: the Proto-Sarkics and the Neo-Sarkics. The lineages do not appear to have diverged due to theological disputes but because of environmental adaptations, with differences in beliefs occurring afterwards.

While individual orders vary by region, there is standard hierarchy among followers:

• Ozi̮rmok, also known as the Grand Karcist, the title reserved for Ion.
• Klavigar, sometimes High Karcist, the four apostles of the Ozi̮rmok.
• Karcist, spiritual and secular leaders who have achieved biological immortality, often no longer appearing human.
• Võlutaar, advisers to a Karcist. Traditionally female, being synonymous with "wise woman" for most Proto-Sarkics.
• Zend, a middling rank with a degree of power and protection. Rare in Proto-Sarkicism.
• Orin, the lowest rank of Sarkic adherents, and the start for converts. Rare in Proto-Sarkicism.
• Halkost, the creations of a Karcist, directly controlled through complex pheromones or even telepathy.

Proto-Sarkicism

The Proto-Sarkic practitioners are more direct remnants of the Kalmaktama Empire, with some being veterans of the War of Metal and Flesh. Living in secluded and isolated locations separate from outsiders and even other sects, such as underground or in the wilderness of mountains, Proto-Sarkics are generally xenophobic and superstitious. Proto-Sarkic cults rarely allow outsiders, eschew modernity, and exhibit acute technophobia, occasionally destroying encountered technology and finding telecommunications especially abhorrent. Humility and self-sacrifice are commonly revered values.

It is generally the Proto-Sarkic interpretation that with Grand Karcist Ion's disappearance, he is undergoing or even completed a metamorphosis into a form that will allow him to remake the universe into a destined paradise called the Ikunaan. Some outliers instead believe Ion died, having martyred himself to protect humanity from the Demiurge.

Most cults live across Eurasia, although some have dispersed across continents, such as the Natau family living in the bayous of southern Louisiana.

Derived from Proto-Sarkics that

legends of the Solomonari

Neo-Sarkicism

The Neo-Sarkic practitioners, contrary to Proto-Sarkics, lack or reject ancient traditions and instead embrace modernity while hiding among the public.

The majority of Neo-Sarkic denomination originated from the Proto-Sarkic Solomonari, who in the Middle Ages either infiltrated or were sought out by the nobles of Carpathian courts, whom they influenced until a genocide against them in the 15th century by John Hunyadi. It is unknown if the current Solomonari are descendants of survivors or Neo-Sarkics that assumed their cultural identity. The Solomonari's impact on Carpathian politics, sciences, and occultism led to the development of Neo-Sarkic sects that underwent a western expansion.

Neo-Sarkics have become syncretic with other faiths such as the Akan religion (Darkwater Lodge) and Hungarian shamanism (Esoteric Order of White Worm); while other learned Sarkic fleshcrafting in order to further their agenda, such as the Black Hunter's Lodge bratva to sell Orok's hormones as narcotics, or Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, in his efforts to preserve the House of Habsburg.

Neo-Sarkics are largely indifferent to Grand Karcist Ion, his views, and his fate; he is viewed not as a prophet but simply the individual who came closest to apotheosis, with his moral teachings being the weaknesses that brought his demise before he could achieve godhood.

Ortothanism

Logo for The Church of the Second Hytoth

The Ortothan religion is an intergalactic belief system widespread throughout the multiverse, with approximately 8% of extraterrestrial civilizations known to the SCP Foundation being Ortothan in nature. The religion is possibly the oldest belief, dating to shortly after the Big Bang, which was a defining event in Ortothan history. Members of the religion are fluent in a universal language, Ortothan Extraterrestrial Language (OEL); verbal OEL varies heavily between species capable of vocalization, but logograms used in written OEL are universally consistent across all Ortothan cultures (aside from abstract concepts unique to species).

Ortothans mythology states that prior to existence, there was a chaotic nonexistence known as the "Voru", in which minds and matter would continually emerge and be destroyed. An unknown force, personified as "The Nameless Creator", created a multiverse (OEL: Hytoth) that provided shelter from the dangers of the Voru. The universe existed for billions of years until an extrauniversal entity consumed the Hytoth and destroyed it. Survivors hid in the Voru until a new Hytoth was created. Lead by seven warriors, the survivors of the First Hytoth broke into the Second Hytoth, causing the Big Bang. The seven leaders ascended to godhood, and vowed to prevent the new universe from being destroyed as well, especially by parasitic entities emerging from the Voru, the "Voruteut". Three-dimensional projections of a 3-sphere are a common motif in Ortothan mythology to represent the First and Second Hytoths.

The Ortothan pantheon is composed of several deities and beings from the First and Second Hytoths, and in the case of the "Voruteut", the Voru. The central figures of the pantheon are the seven guardian deities labeled the Koru-tuesa (Holy Seven). Attributed to an imperfection in their ascension process, the Koru-teusa required the propitiation of blood to maintain divine status: self-sacrifice and consent are prioritized, as violence and murder for the forceful acquisition of tribute is condemned almost universally; extremist Ortothan subsects found to do such practices are shunned and often forcefully disbanded by Ortothan warriors. Over the eons, most of the Koru-teusa died or disappeared, gradually reaching the point where only one is currently alive.

• Zeyu-leusan, the Holy First - Founder of the Koru-teusa. Was said to be missing their left arm, and had the power of a trillion stars in their right hand. Was the first of the Holy Seven to die, as they sacrificed themselves to end the First Invasion of Voruteut.
• Uron-leusan, the Holy Second - A warrior with a pair of swords forged from the fabric of space. Feared by even the other respected Koru-teusa, the jealous Uron-leusan died in combat with the Holy Third.
• Eov-leusan, the Holy Third - A tinkerer that forged three cannons with dark matter and their blood. Was slain by the Holy Second in a war brought on by the swordsman's jealousy.
• Rakmou-leusan, the Holy Fourth - Wielder of the Four Spears, and the last of the Koru-teusa. Revered as the last defense for the Second Hytoth, Rakmou-leusan has become the de facto central deity of the Ortothans.
• Nesren-leusan, the Holy Fifth - A psychic with a fifth arm made from their power. Was inexplicably forgotten millennia ago; by the time they were remembered, they no longer existed.
• Yorun-leusan, the Holy Sixth - Revered as the Holy Mage, they spread the Ortothan religion through avatars in their research of alien occult practices. Died in 2000 CE defending the Second Hytoth from one of the largest Voruteut invasions in Ortothan history.
• Myran-leusan, the Holy Seventh - Almost completely wiped from history. All that is known is their name that they had once existed, as records of their exploits had since been lost or destroyed.

The pantheon includes additional deities both alive and deceased, including; Kornoct and Vernoct, guardians of the Orthothan afterlife, the Eitoth; Wonlaik, a hivemind trickster god slain by Rakmou-leusan after an attempt to destabilize the Eitoth; Uravol, a psychic who broke their mind attempting to possess Nohlos, an eel-like primordial god that consumed reality to survive, who lives on in its spawn, the Nohl-Av.

The Ortothan religion was first brought to Earth around 11000 BCE via the "Star-Fallen Messenger" (an avatar of Yorun-leusan, referred to as the "First Messenger" in modern texts), leading to the creation of the Earthen Ortothan Kingdom. The Kingdom came in conflict with other Asian kingdoms such as the Daevites and Xia Dynasty. Around 1600 BCE, the kingdom and nearly all traces of it were destroyed during an event called the Zeroth Occult War.

By the 20th century, the Ortothan belief was reintroduced to members of humanity by Yorun-leusan's "Second Messenger", and the Church of the Second Hytoth was founded in 1900. The Church has multiple churches accessible in major cities such as Toronto, Canada and Jena, Germany, but the Church operates in and is only known to the paranormal community.

The Global Occult Coalition refers to the Church of the Second Hytoth with the codeword "Barlowe", but the Church has received other monikers such as "Stargazers", "Bloodletters", and (in the case of adherents from the Fifthist Church) "Squares" or "Heptagons".
