Hirdism is a far right political ideology created by Tir Dveirleson a colonial officer stationed in Ymirland during the [[Great War]]. The ideology being mainly based around Dveirleson’s book called ‘Total Krig og den Nasjonale Sjelen (Total War and the National Soul)’, the book was released in 1900 and became popular among members of the Norgsveltian army especially those stationed in its colonies.

 

=== Etymology ===

 

Hirdism was originally known as Dverlesonism and National Republicanism but was later known as Hirdism. The term Hirdism being only first used by the far right paramilitary and terrorist group called the Ny Ulvrikia National Army (NUNA) which was founded after the Great War and operated in [[Ymirland]] and [[Hustreache]]. The group stated they called it after the Hird a settler militia group that operated in Ymirland during the mid to late 1800s. With Tir Dveirleson being known to have been a member of the Hird during his teenage years. The Hird being famous at the time for its harassment against the natives that lived in Ymirland.

 

=== Origins ===

 

The historical roots of Hirdism can be mainly traced back to Norgsveltian nationalistic and secular philosophers during the early and mid 1800s. Most being defined by their dislike of nobility and the Ulvriktru faith. Blaming them for what was seen as an overstretched and ineffective colonial empire that Norgsveldet established during that time. This is clarified in letters written by Gustaf Ederman, the leader of the NUNA during the 1920s, in which he proclaimed: “I am firmly convinced that Dveirleson’s ideals were most inspired by the works of Tønner Elgsent and Ylva Danidatur. In which Elgsent’s ideals of Organic Nationalism I would state has had the most impact on his ideals.”

 

==== Organic Nationalism ====

 

According to Gustaf Ederman Hirdism would not exist the way it does without the work of Tønner Elgsent having set said precedent. In which Elgsent’s works of Organic Nationalism should have said to help inspiring Dveirleson’s Hirdism.

==== Radical Secularism ====

 

The second large influence on Dveirleson’s work has been suggested to be Ylva Danidatur and her book titled ‘Uten Guder Kommer Friheten’ (Without Gods There Comes Liberty). Danidatur being a 19th century writer in which she predicted in her book that the Norgsveltian colonial empire will collapse as a result of its overly hierarchical and religious nature. In which through said collapse that nation states will be born in which a new golden age of science and progress will be born. Promoting the idea of getting rid of all religious and spiritual beliefs that she proclaimed was holding people back. According to Danidatur’s book religious and cultural superstition should be replaced with heavy emphasis on science and modernity. That a society built on those ideals will rid nations of old traditions in its place a completely new society would be made. Stating in her book that: “With the death of empire a new society will be born, in which the nation shall be reborn around the ideals of modernity and secularism. Liberating us from the ideas of gods, and in its place progress will be our new god.”
