Truthful Roleplayer Reading List

The following is a list of links to external Wikipedia pages. The goal of this list is to supplement and compliment the extant material on the Moon Guard wiki for getting an authentic "feel" of Truthful fanon.

Inspiration of Truthful lore comes from a myriad of sources, although nothing is a direct translation. More than anything else, this list is to get a feel for where the Truthful come from, from their creators.

It is important to note that the Truthful are first and foremost an evil-aligned faction, and to a lesser extent, an antagonist faction. The Truthful are not meant to be entirely sympathetic characters on an OOC basis.

Ideology
Truth is an ideology that draws inspiration from multiple sources. Although the article that exists on the Moon Guard Wiki should be taken as the final authoritative view on it, the following should provide a more thorough explanation of its context.

Millenarianism - A core tenet of Truthful ideology is that the current power structure must be destroyed to bring about a utopian theocratic governance.

Medieval Anabaptism - The Anabaptism movement that occurred in medieval christian Europe translates quite well to the Truthful. In particular, aspects such as a rejection of rigid hierarchies in religion and questioning of established religious jurisprudence.

Thomas Müntzer - In particular, the section on his theology.

Twelve Articles - These cover some of the Truthful anti-nobility and anti-clergy sentiment.

Salafi Jihadism - One of the substrates for Truthful beliefs. In particular, unwavering zealotry, unwillingness to compromise politically, and religious justification of violence are borrowed from here.

Context
The following provides a list of historical events that provide some context to Truthful lore, and in some way translate to the world that the Truthful exist in.

German Peasants' War - In particular, the political context of the revolt and the religious connotations surrounding it.

Münster Rebellion - The sheer insanity that developed in addition to the religious fervor fostered is quite reminiscent of the Truthful.
