Cultic Totems, Cultic Brotherhoods
Sarna News
Cultic Totems, Cultic Brotherhoods was a book written by Trishanne Wallace and published by Effulgent Vision Books in 3071.[1]
Overview[edit]
The book centers on the founding and development of the Clans, but the approach taken was considered by commentators a game to build the most implausible and nonsensical house of idiocy and a consciously counterfactual exercise in irrationality and absurdity.
The book starts with the fall of the first Star League, postulating that Aleksandr Kerensky was the culmination of centuries of specialized controlled breeding to produce a new race of "space gods" who would lead humanity to enlightenment.
His actions during the Amaris Civil War are interpreted as a messianic winnowing of unbelievers to pave the way for the ascendancy of what she calls "Universal Man" that would contact with a secretive Galactic Astrogarchy. But the death of that new race at the hands of the evil and corrupt House Lords, lead Kerensky to flee into the Deep Periphery, where his message and superior genetics could be further shaped.
The return of the Clans in 3050 hence was merely the prelude to a racial rapture that would bring an end to all human conflict.
Books commentator F. Vasquez said that from here theories were even worse, and that the book was not worth reading.[1]
