# Cult of the Emerald Heart **Type:** Heretical religious order | **Lifestyle:** Solo mendicant wanderers | **Implant origin:** [Putriea](/swn-golden-triangle/putriea/) Self-designated the **Church of the Emerald Heart**; outsiders name them Cult. Exiled healers who wander the sector tending the otherwise-terminal. Each bears an **Emerald Heart** — a Precursor organ grown on Putriea that fuses with or replaces the biological heart. The implant transforms the bearer and grants healing beyond conventional medicine. They preach a heretical gospel: the Heart is the true instrument of divine mercy.
