Background

  • A Religious Cult in the City which practices Cubism
  • Seen as especially pious
  • Worships The Receda Cube as one of the true forms of God.
  • Follows the gospel according to Gyvann
  • 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.
    • Is only now speaking out in favour of construction.
    • The signifigance 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 encourageable tennets
  • Also, this is a religion of proselytization. Spreading the good word is somewhat required of members.
  • Observes the Following holy days:
    • 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 Builder's celebration - at Spring Equinox, this is a time to lay foundations to new buildings.
    • Gyvann's Day - at summer Solstice, a cheerful celbration with burning torches and feasting, honouring 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.
