Culture in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

Starting in the 1420s a meeting of learned men from the [[Faneria|Faneriai]] principality of Burgundie, [[Heku]], [[Kiravia]] and [[Pauldustllah]] occurred to discuss the status of the world. These meetings occurred in 1424, 1426 and 1429, but was outlawed as some topics were considered blasphemous. In 1430, the group formed a codex and started to send encrypted messages to each other and so began the Oligarchia grammaticorum (OG), Oligarchy of Grammarians. Their encryption grew ever more difficult to crack and the imagination of the world was taken by storm. There were conspiracies about every event and the involvement of the Oligarchia grammaticorum. In the 1640s the oligarchy became more transparent and started a number of permanent literary and scientific academies, most notably [[Universitas Magistrorum]] in Burgundie, _________ in [[Heku]], [[Valēka#Universities|Universitas Codicis]] in [[Kiravia]], and Farpoint University in [[Pauldustllah]]. In the 18th and 19th century the OG was a driver in Enlightenment thought in Northern [[Levantia]] and [[Kiravia]] but its members suppressed the liberal ideals in [[Heku]] and [[Pauldustllah]]. By the 20th century, the OG had become primarily a learned society and a philanthropic entity. At the dawn of the 21st century, the OG has broadened its scope to also include artificial intelligence and cyber technology. It was under the guidance of the OG that Burgundie released its colony at [[Argaea]] to become Ixnay's first {{wpl|technocracy}}.
