PEOPLE
OF THE WAY
The
People of the Way is a religion made up of those who follow
the teachings of the Anointed, the Magog prophet who founded
this faith based on an amalgamation of human philosophies.
By and large, the Wayists are peaceful, generous beings
of many species, striving always to do good and follow in
the path of the Anointed. The Wayists are led by the Anointed's
successor, the Keeper of the Way. The current Keeper, Vision
of Faith VII, is an Amber Than who has reigned for almost
twenty years. By all accounts Keeper Vision is deeply spiritual
and true in her convictions. One of her primary goals is
to overthrow the Than caste system.
The
Wayist clergy is divided into many different orders. Andromeda's
own resident Wayist, Rev Bem, belongs to the Society of
Wisdom, an order of active proselytes and educators. Other
orders include the contemplative Whisperers of Truth, the
administrative Order of Unity, and the charitible Merciful
Breath. Vision of Faith hails from the Merciful Breath,
and since the Than's elevation, the Breath has been expanding
its sphere of influence.
