The Manifesto:
We submit the following statements as truth:

'Ignorance' is defined not as stupidity but as lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge inevitably leads to lack of understanding.
Lack of understanding leads to a disconnect among people with differences.
Disconnection among people with differences leads to conflict.
Knowledge is the only logical solution to the problem of conflict.
Therefore, we propose that in order to eliminate conflict, we must eliminate the disconnect among those with differences by correcting the lack of understanding that arises from ignorance with knowledge.

Erudite was created for those that blamed ignorance of war. Humans formed Erudite as a way of eliminating ignorance.

The virtue of Erudite is knowledge. Most people are known to spend countless hours up in a library. It has been recorded that they memorize city maps.

The faction color is blue. Each faction member is required to wear at least one article of blue clothing every day. It is said to help stimulate he brain with calmness. Most people in Erudite can be seen wearing thick glasses Never mind if they need them or not, they just want to look smart.

Erudite is in charge of producing the city's librarians, scientists, doctors, and teachers. They keep records on all the other factions. Erudite is in charge of technology and they are in charge of creating most of the serums.

The areas in which people must be educated are:

1. Sociology

So that the individual understands how society at large functions.

2. Psychology

So that the individual understands how a person functions within that society.

2. Mathematics

So that the individual is prepared for further study in science, engineering, medicine, and technology.

3. Science

So that the individual better understands how the world operates. So that the individual's study in other areas is supplemented. So that as many individuals as possible area prepared to enter the fields devoted to innovation and progress.

4. Communication

So that the individual knows how to speak and write clearly and effectively.

5. History

So that the individual understands the mistakes and successes that have led us to this point. So that the individual learns to emulate those successes and avoid those mistakes.

During initiation, the initiates study and take rigorous tests. As a final test, the initiates take Intelligence Test. If they do not pass, they become factionless.
