Background / History

The Truth Society is a secretive faith centered on the “True Lord.” Its followers are described as fanatics willing to commit any act in the True Lord’s name, while its leaders pursue ambitions far beyond ordinary political power 5.

According to Linton’s knowledge of the game’s storyline, the Society incites unrest across the Kingdom of Blossoms, infiltrates Falasong while the Flower Knights suppress the resulting riots, and eventually attacks the royal palace. Its stated ultimate objective is to force the Lord of Blossoms to descend into the mortal world and usurp His divine position 5.

Linton’s predecessor joined the Society while pursuing the concept of death as a Necromancer. Although Linton retains membership and access to its facilities, he seeks to leave; a minor leader told him that an “indulgence” costing one million gold coins would secure the True Lord’s forgiveness for disloyal faith 5.

Doctrine

The Society teaches that the rules governing the world are shackles imposed by the Lord of Blossoms and other gods. Its internal scriptures portray the True Lord as a compassionate being who revealed possible futures to humanity so people could choose their own paths 34.

The same doctrine claims that other gods considered this revelation a betrayal and bound the True Lord atop a mountain with nails forged from the Twelve Stars. Despite this imprisonment, the True Lord is believed to continue spreading gospel through the monthly Day of Worship 34.

• The Society refers to the True Lord as the source of guidance and revelation; members invoke this guidance in religious and everyday matters 24.
• The Eye of Transience is regarded as a manifestation of the True Lord’s power. Believers may sacrifice devotion to glimpse possible futures 43.
• The Book of True Names records initiates’ names and is said to contain the past and present, while the Eye of Transience concerns possible futures 5 43.
• The Society’s belief is treated as blasphemous by Iris, a former Knight associated with the Lord of Blossoms’ faith 23.

Organization

The True Lord

The True Lord is the Society’s central object of worship. Whether this entity truly exists, and what the Society would do after achieving its divine-usurpation objective, remain unresolved from Linton’s perspective 5.

Twelve Stars

The Twelve Stars are the Society’s highest-known leadership group. At least two are active within the Kingdom of Blossoms’ operations 5 42 43.

Member	Position / Known Activities
Passas	Lowest-ranked of the Twelve Stars and a leader of the Society’s Kingdom of Blossoms branch. He directs Linton to collect and deliver an offering 5.
Volg	Sixth-ranked Twelve Star; a Mind Mage who claims he can “deceive even gods.” Known as the “Gospel of the Nether Sea,” he propagates the True Lord’s faith and establishes “Patriarchate Zones” 42 43.

Initiated Members

Membership requires a baptism/initiation in which one’s name is inscribed in the Book of True Names. Initiated members share an instinctive affinity that lets them identify one another 5 46.

• High-ranking members or branch leaders use glowing parchment messages to contact members at a distance 5.
• The Book of True Names is generally controlled by a branch’s highest figures; ordinary members ordinarily only encounter it during initiation 5.
• Those without baptism cannot enter the Society’s hidden temples, even if they stand inside a disguised stronghold 46.
• Members may be assigned to collect and transfer Offering Gold, donations framed as rewards bestowed by the True Lord 5 13 24.

Worship and Rituals

The Truth Society holds a monthly Sabbath or Day of Worship. Its date and meeting location are not fixed; participants receive notifications through parchment 22 23.

During a service, participants enter an immersive dream-like state. They may retain fragments upon waking but normally cannot reconstruct the full experience 23.

• A successful worship may grant prophetic dreams; according to Marvin, scenes remembered from such dreams will occur before the next Day of Worship 34.
• Worship can fail when scriptures shatter, preventing the True Lord’s gospel and prophetic visions from reaching participants 34.
• At a Leibu gathering, a white book emitted blinding light and rendered the congregation unconscious before they awakened elsewhere 26.
• Following an abnormal service, a blue-robed priest restored the congregation’s composure and dismissed them without their remembering the disturbance 29.

Strongholds

Location	Cover / Features
Outside Leibu City	An abandoned church used for a worship gathering. Billt Marvin, a Level 40 Society guide, conducted the ceremony there 26.
