Background

• 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.

• Observes the Following holy days:
  • 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.

• 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.

• 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.
