The Disciples of Tanadu

"Power is truth" - attributed to Tanadu, ancient Philosopher

The Disciples of Tanadu are an ancient and secretive group, they claim to follow the teachings of a personage known by that name. However, never in their history have they been forthcoming in revealing those teachings. They are known to attempt to influence events and people, but not always with understandable motives. They have long been considered a religious sect, but upon their entrance into the Lodamun political scene in 3695, they assured the populace that this was a mistake. They claimed at this point not to be a religious group, and their very strict heirarchy underwent a change in nomenclature (Prophet became Interpreter, Priest became Philosopher etc.). There is some question as to the legitimacy of this anouncement, with some claiming it is just a method of avoiding strict religious regulation, but without understanding much of what Tanadu actually taught, it is difficult to say.
