Cabal of Pure Thought

Victorian Age
In the late 1830s, the Gabrielites are wiped out. Belief that their power flows from God is generally incompatible with the secular direction towards which the Order of Reason is progressing.

However, some few members believed that reason and deduction were gifts from God, and thus they were able to coexist with the rest of the Order.

In 1851 the Order of Reason undergoes reorganization and emerges as the Technocratic Union. The remnants of the Cabal of Pure Thought are re-christened as the Lightkeepers.


 * Note that some of the above is supposition. The creator of the Lightkeepers, Bryan Armor, said this:
 * My intention with the Lightkeepers was that it was a reorganization of what was left of the Cabal of Pure Thought after the Reformation totally tore that group appart, with the three subfactions - Lighthouse (scholars), Lantern (investigators) and Torch (monster hunters) - designed to take over the functions of the Cabal and it's guilds.
