Revision as of 09:55, 21 April 2021

Shadows of Truth was a program run during the Jihad by Werner von Schattenberg.[1]

Overview

The program was a platform to review several conspirator theories after the Jihad, among them:

  • A complex theory supported by BlakeWatch veteran Elissa Chen of the Spear of Destiny being recovered by Jerome Blake from the Greenhaven Gestapo, then handled to Conrad Toyama and then ending in the hands of the Master. Finally he tries to tight it to the mysterious disappearance of Devlin Stone with two ComStar armies in May and June of 3079 prior to the decisive Invasion of Terra and asks if he tried to recover the Spear.[2]
  • An interview with Taoist Priest Qiu Erzhi explaining that the Xin Sheng movement clean the past sins of the state and opened a new age of sucess after the disaster of the Fourth Succession War, and that selection of all new namings and designs build were working in a positive way for the state. Qiu ends his interview though by warning the Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao of his hostility towards Devlin Stone and the risk of the sin of hubris unbalance the country again.[3]
  • Based on captured Blakist soldiers speak of their surprise at the outcome of the Whitting Conference, and that they were expecting a Third Transfer and a heavy focus on the Clans. After this, Werner goes to link these events with rare celestial conjunctions present in the skies of Apollo seen only three times since the system settlement and linking them to the Third Transfer and a resurgence of House Amaris. The dates on the rare events are:[4]
  • One theory said that Kalvin Liao was an occult follower who owned a copy of an alleged book called "The Bloody-Handed Duke", with insights on the book given by somebody called Nyla Rustah.[5]
  • The killing of a Jihad veteran from Tharkad, Franz Wei, by what a person described as a bulky, very hairy gentleman which they claim to be a werewolf.[6]
  • A theory that said that some among the Belters had been living for hundred of years supported by an unknown source.[7]
  • News on "phantom" black navy ships like the Augustus, the Century Hawk‎ and the Celestine Maria‎.[8]
  • Alleged killings of Word of Blake Manei Domini by WoB ROM.[9]
  • Werner was approached by a recent visitor to Columbia with alleged news to other Belter communities with links to Columbia. He said to have met somebody from Churchill, the real British colony, implying New London had been a faint. He also claimed to know of a colony called Veracruz.
As a final touch, he said that Columbia had launched its own slowboat missions and that they had dozens of hidden settlements in uninhabited systems.
These rumors though were never confirmed.[1]
