Litte is known about the The Brotherhood of Six at this time.


It is believed they may be a religious order who, at some point in the distant past, started a series of beliefs based on [[The Receda Cube]]. Their successors splintered off into a number of groups. We are yet to know any but two such groups:
* A Religious Cult in the City which practices [[Cubism]]
* Seen as especially pious
* Follows the gospel according to [[Gyvann]]
* Formerly worshiped [[The Receda Cube]] as one of the true forms of God.
** This changed, however, when it was revealed that the Cube was a weapon of mass destruction.
 
* Temple is Located just south of the [[Mazy River]]
** At the intersection of [[Jiriki Road]], [[Khuon Lane]], and [[Object Road]].
 
* May be one of the oldest Cubist groups known.
* Is considered by many to be succeeded by such other Cubist groups as The [[Reconstructionists]] and [[The Brotherhood in the Old Town]].
* Includes (though, is not exclusively) a celibate order dedicated to good works and a fuller understanding of the Cube
 
* Has long kept silent on the topic of construction in the Old Town.
** Began speaking out in favour of construction in mid 2006.
** The significance here is unclear.
 
* Meditation is a key part of the faith, which is done while sitting inside a large cube.
* Wholeness of body, eschewing drink and drugs are also encouraged tenets
* Also, this is a religion of proselytizing.  Spreading the good word is somewhat required of members.


=====[[Reconstructionists]]=====
* Observes the Following holy days:
A radical isolationist group, they believe the Cube is being held hostage by The [[Academy]].  They preach absolution of modern technology, and a return to simpler, self-sustaining life.
** [[The Builder's celebration]] - at Spring Equinox, this is a time to lay foundations to new buildings.
** [[Gyvann's Day]] - at summer Solstice, a cheerful celebration with burning torches and feasting, honoring [[Gyvann]]
** [[The Lighting of the Way]] - at autumn equinox, the festival of re-affirming our dedication to the Cube and of witnessing Gyvann's message to the world.
** [[Restitution of the Cube]] - celebrated at the Winter Solstice, with three days of prayer, meditation. It is traditional to light cube-shaped candles at this time.


=====[[The Brotherhood in the Old Town]]=====
* In 2006, following the discovery that [[The Receda Cube]] was a weapon of mass destruction, religious fervor in the city seemed to flail into an all-time low.  However, following an early-December swelling, that year's Restitution of The Cube was met with burgeoning throngs of followers across the city.
This is the largest Cubist group in the city.  They are seen as a peaceul group, who have excellent holiday ceremonies full of song and cake.


* Plans a great commemoration of the Syzygy, an astronomical event considered to have great religious import.
** The celebration will tap the artistic talents of [[Randal Tokei]]'s [[Beauty Alliance]].
