Death-of-Self is the selfless sacrifice, the proelium of a wage slave, the war of a loving patriot, the fight against the death of another. It carries the rune of Tyr, and it embodies the idea of willing self-sacrifice.

A cult that focuses on the fullfillment of a higher purpose, the protection of those they love the most, and to the defence of humanity as a whole.It has an active presence in The City and the inner layers outside The Wall, serving duty as effective guardians of Humanity outside and inside the Waking World. ====Cult Practices====They're a rather diligent cult, not content on doing shady rites and pursue self-centered goals, they are always present on expeditions to the outer layers of the Mansus, rarely returning from particularly disastrous or otherwise dangerous travels, more than willing to sacrifice themselves, if not for their mates, for the fate of humanity.Most of their rites consist in sacrifice of either flesh or lore, usually to summon Guardians or to enchant a certain weapon or tool, frequently weapons and armor. ====Cult Importance in The City====Ego Proelium Sum is a fairly well known organization inside [[The City]], and their main role is to protect it and other human settlements inside The Mansus. They're widely considered to be a official guard of sorts, and are usually in the forefront of expeditions deeper into the layers of the Mansus. 

# '''Ascension: Ego Death''': My body is bruised and scars adorn it, I wage daily not for my sake, but theirs. This is the first step.# '''Ascension: Ego Death''': My hands bled today, they will bleed further, until I do what has to be done, for their sake. This is the second step.# '''Ascension: Ego Death''': My body is crushed under the weight of my responsibility, but my heart goes on, on until I'm dead, but not until they're safe. This is the third step.

|description = This is an An ancient bookfrom the 20th Century, but you will find it easily, if you really need it. It was written by Hoel Grann somewhere around the 20th century, and details all . It argues for the reasons one should devote oneself to others, above even self-preservation. Albeit passionate, the arguments used aren't particularly strong or logically sound, yet it is regarded as a manifesto of sorts by the Ego Proelium Sum.

|start_description = "To love oneself is easy, but to love another is harderhard, to accept their failures and still adore them to the core of your being. Dying To die for themis harder yet. Through this book, hopefully, you will learn how to make difficult decisions, an even harder taskand why you should.".|description = The words "... There is nothing more selfish than the lack of this text spur love. Not hate, for it keeps those who would harm you onwardand yours away, not indiference, the smile in your face will linger for weeksit helps diferentiate useful alies from those worthy of protection; true selfishness comes when you wouldn't sacrifice anything for anyone else, and that is definetly a complete lack of love."
