Lunsoc

The Lunaran Socialist Movement also known as Lunsoc or simply The Movement is a fringe political organization, philosophy and way of life that exists solely within the confines of the planned settlement of Lunara, Daxia. Permission to settle and construct a self sustaining town in an uninhabited area of Shan province was granted in 2003 to Hugo Saavedra, a foreigner of unclear nationality and about forty of his followers; the majority of which are suspected of criminal insanity. Saavedra or 'the Dark Lord' as his followers refer to him appears to have a hypnotic, vice-like grip on 'The Movement'

Lunsoc espouses what it calls 'Lunaran Socialism', a bizarre and mostly undefined set of ideas that may only be tangentially related to socialism as commonly understood. Lunsoc's seeming overriding aim is to alternatively better the community and to cause fear and dominate other local towns as a mafia would.

Neighboring towns accuse Lunsoc of organizing fraudulent charity events, participating in random street brawls and arson, extortion of small time animal farmers and hunters and mass littering(mainly Lunsoc propaganda pamphlets). Lunsoc for its part posits that it is merely working towards a 'greater Lunara' and the overall good of the community and that those that oppose it will be crushed underfoot as vermin. For unknown reasons authorities have been almost lethargic in their response, merely issuing a few minor fines.

Ranks of The Movement

 * Dark Lord - The Supreme Leader and highest authority in the Lunaran Socialist Movement, Hugo Saavedra is the indispensable visionary that powers all of Lunsoc's works and schemes. Able to pierce the densest of mists and chart the road ahead, Hugo guides the movement towards a Greater Lunara.
 * Coordinator - The four Coordinators are the closest companions of the Dark Lord and senior leaders all. They are the ones that bring the words of the leader to the masses in addition to being in charge of Lunsoc's administration and all important recruitment.
 * Executor - Lunsoc's merciless mailed fist, the Executors are the military arm of the movement. Composed of hardened killers, they vigorously persecute the enemies of the community.
 * Prole - The basic grunts of the movement, the Proles are the lowest echelon. From bright eyed recruits to drifters and the mentally deranged, the proles range from cannon fodder to valued servants ready to give their lives for Lunsoc.
