Notes |
this charitable esoteric commune claims to look after the welfare of poorest citizens, giving them food, clothing, shelter, and a fresh start. Many who come to the society for aid don the society’s distinctive high-collared,mustard yellow robes, assume a new name based on obscure numerological theories, and become full-time devotees of the collective. Once initiated, followers live a sparse lifestyle devoid of most material pleasures, with
exquisite meals and entertainment doled out only by the society’s debased founder and
reclusive leader, Xenoxanthus. Members of the Truth and Light spend their days on the corners of ghettos, ostensibly catering to the greater needs of the society and its leadership while working in shifts to recruit new members from the district’s most desperate. The society publishes and freely distributes provocative, anti-government handbills soliciting membership and calling for a revolution for the poor to take back what is rightfully theirs. |
