Meagharia: Difference between revisions

Over the course of several years he managed to spread his philosophy throughout first his Order of Warrior Monks and then to the local priesthood he was in charge of. Eventually the peasantry had begun to embrace this ideology and Father Meaghar began training them into an army under his command. After this was prepared Father Meaghar declared war on the Council in charge of the kingdom. Father Meaghar's army began advancing on the Holy City of Milof (Now Burnside). The first several armies that Father Meaghars grand army faced were destroyed by the discipline of his peasant levies much to their shock. But when the army arrived at the Grand Walls of the Holy City they began to falter. While the city was under siege more Milofite armies attacked them slowly wearing down their numbers until eventually the Army within the walls of the Holy city sallied forth and finished off their army. Father Meaghar himself was captured, with the three highest members of the priestly council personally executing him with three knives piercing the Heresiarch's heart and burning his body to leave nothing for any of his surviving followers to potentially revere.

 

While the Milofite orthodoxy had made every attempt to erase Father Meaghar's entire philosophy they were not able to erase everything. Father Meaghar had sent copies of his writings to many of the other priests in the realm and some had agreed with his ideas. Because of this many portions of his ideology had survived in private collections throughout Milofia. In the 1960s the theocracy began loosening and and modernizing to abolish the feudal system in preparation for opening up to the outside world, beginning to build up what limited industry there was already. Unfortunately for the theists this loosening gave the hidden Meagharites an oppurtunity to gain followers. Over the course of the 1970s Meagharite philosophy became more popular in the fast growing cities. They were planning a revolution.
