History
From its birth to i's death, and now its resurrection,
Built in 1898 and opened in the spring of the same year by a young Minister who had just graduated seminary. Rev. Benjamin J. Dover reached out to the community by giving food to the poor and words of wisdom to the lost. And only after a short time he amassed a huge following.
Rev. Dover helped many small businesses in Quarlesbank and many other close townships and also opened many businesses of his own. Many of the older buildings in north western Malton that are standing today were once his property or were affiliated with him in some way.
By the Mid 1900's a good deal of his flock had disappeared from Malton or had fleed from the city without even packing as much as one suitcase. Over a time, a small portion of neighboring Jensentown accused Dover of witchcraft. But the consensus of many was that the backwoods hicks of this suburb were merely jealous of the wealth that Dover and his followers had because of the many businesses they owned in their district. Causing more and more of the Wealthy and Greedy crowd of Malton to come to seek advice, and perhaps a bit of the good Reverend's money.
But after decades of regular use by the followers of St. Marcellins' and the cream of Malton society, many church members began to disappear yet again. Rumors that Rev. Dover had been involved with Occult activity and ritual sacrifice now spread across Malton like wild fire causing an uproar across the city. Civic leaders began an investigation of the Reverend and church members and there holdings. The findings were never officially released to the public. Shortly after people from all across the town were arrested and removed from Malton. Entire families were captured by the police and F.B.I. and unnamed government agencies never to be heard from again.
The official investigation results were never released. But according to a report that was leaked to the press some years after the event. When the police and other agencies had finally opened the church doors and gained entrance they found what is described as "A black mass".
Here is a short excerpt from this report:
"Upon entrance into St. Marcellins' we saw many Hooded figures in grotesque masks that were chanting in some strange almost hauting way. There were about 50 people standing in the pews wearing dark grey "robes" and around 10 others circled around an alter that was compriced of a nude woman believed to be [name withheld] laying on her back. Standing above this female was Reverend Dover holding a long strangly curved blade and in the other hand a long silver chalice.
[name withheld] then approached the gathering of individuals, but by the time he had gone past the first pew a odd fire seemed to begin to drip from the ceiling and run down the walls.
At this time said participants began to flea from the church. The only that stayed inside and did not seem to notice the events were the central figures. [name withheld] began to shout for them to exit the building but it is not known if they had heard the officers over the roar of the increasingly growing flames that were know spreading across the main room.
Officers who had know fled the building heard screams and yelling from inside of the building but were unable to reach the victims. By the time the fire trucks had arrived the entire church was an inferno."
After the fire had died out law enforcement entered the building. Much of the outside was completely blackened but the interior seemed to have somehow escaped the flames. But no trace of the victims was ever found. Apparently there were miles of catacombs under the church that lead to secret rooms and chambers underneath Malton but many have collapsed in on themselves and left buried.
After a time, the story of the church and the reverend passed into legend. by the 80's most thought that the entire incident was just urban legend or some story told around campfires to scare children.
No one has ever found out what happened to all the missing people. To why or what purpose were the tunnels. And to what exactly Rev. Dover was doing inside the walls of this supposed church.
In 2001 the Reverend Draven777 came to Malton and found the decrepit old church and began rebuilding it and holding community meetings. Many loved Rev. Draven but because of his outspoken views on religion and politics and being Malton's first publicly open Satanist, The Reverend and many church members were unlawfully prosecuted by local law enforcement and town inhabitants.
Rev Draven preached of the dangers of Nero techs involment in local disappearances and rumored animal experimentation. Being the first church in Malton to warn other citizens of the Impending genocide of the populace. Many of the group were believed by townspeople to have caused the outbreak of the undead because of there protests of warnings for almost two years prior to the outbreak. Hence the Group were Hunted and murdered by many of Malton's panicky populace and furthermore many of them became the first to come back from the dead and begin the massacre and rape of the city.
St. Marcellin's Church has now become a place of refuge and pilgrimage for all Who Seek The Truth.
