Talk:Abbey of the Everyman/@comment-109.155.22.115-20130617173717/@comment-6301921-20130617202700

It probably had some earlier form before turning into the Abbey we know, but the "official" founding of it is during whitecliff. Maybe some small cult that was against users of magic. Maybe they decided to establish rules because they believed that lack of rules made men do wicked things. Maybe they saw the bad things people could do with magic and so wanted to get rid of it. Maybe they interpreted the stars. Maybe they believed that malevolent spirits tricked magic users into doing horrible things to other people, and so to stop that from happening they forbid witchcraft and the worship of spirits, instead looking for guidance among the stars and from the few benevolent spirits. Perhaps they wanted more control over people's behavior. They believed that they were justified in killing "heretics", so they probably believed that they were truly cleansing whitecliff of wickedness. Or maybe they were just some greedy men who said "let's make this up" because they didn't like the magic-users for some reason.

This is just stupid rambling, haha. I know I'm not really adding anything to the conversation. Sadly, if the devs never figured out the abbey's history before whitecliff, then we'll probably never know for sure.
