| The concept of the Second Mover admits multiple different interpretations. Generally, however, the Second Mover is seen as the force of progress - be it scientific or social/moral progress.
| | ===Jeodgan=== |
| ===Origin=== | | [[Anbirese]] religious reformer Emisom Jeodgan was inspired by old Second Mover writings for his own idea of the Second Mover, to formulate what he believed was the most true religion/philosophy. He drew up |

| | |
| *Daφlom (?) = god of war/hate/discord (~ Eevo ''ðollt'' 'war')
| |
| *3ronaeae = goddess of the arts

| ===Warring philosophies===
| |
| A series of natural disasters and outbreaks, known as the ___ Calamities, set off social instability as well as eroding trust in institutions. The disasters had taught the Talmans that the natural order was not to be trusted; thus the Second Mover took center place in Talman symbolism and became the symbol of good against evil. However, during this time of strife it was difficult to trust other humans as much as it was difficult to trust nature. Exactly how the Second Mover operated and "moved" humans became a matter of heated debate among philosophers. Thus arose various competing philosophical doctrines dealing with 1) how individuals should live and 2) how society should be structured.
| |
| | |
| Amid the chaos, many nobles and warlords vied for hegemony. In the process they sponsored philosophies that would benefit their kingdom. The philosophies included:
| |
| | |
| *(Mohism analogue/Idealism: "Universal love!")
| |
| *Formalism/Legalism (CWdm: ''Răweat Hăma'')
| |
| *A radically individualistic philosophy
| |
| *Quasi-Buddhism?
| |
| *Mărotłism (CWdm: ''Răweat Mărotł''), typically associated with Windermere philosopher rith Mărotł (Eevo: ''rið Myrótx''). Perhaps Marotlism is a syncretistic mix of Talmic and Windermere religions.
| |
| | |
| ===Mărotłism===
| |
| Mărotłism was eventually the ideology to win out. As the Windermere Empire consolidated its power, Mărotłites rapidly took control of institutions in Talma, except in a few remote holdouts such as Nūrei. With the unification of the Lăcoaf Empire, Mărotłism became the state ideology. Various smaller states that were not absorbed by the empire (such as the Tigolian states, the precursors to the modern Talmic-speaking countries Skella, Ciètluov and Anbir) would become tributary states.
| |
| | |
| Early Mărotłites sought to create a humanist ideology. They attempted to justify these tenets and laws with a synthesis of myths and previous Talmic and Windermere religions.
| |
| | |
| However, the version of Mărotłism that became the official imperial ideology was significantly different from these earlier efforts. Imperial Mărotłism taught that there was a God who revealed himself in nature and natural laws. Morality was hence viewed as a kind of natural law. As such Imperial Mărotłism emphasized harmony between the First and Second Movers and in general sought to justify state power.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately, over time Mărotłism became very dogmatic and micromanaging, and more often than not was a hypocritical front for power-hungry elites.
| |
| | |
| ===Mărotłism, take two===
| |
| The Mărotłian thinkers of the Fnüeng dynasty era wanted to eschew the ceremonial and superstitious excesses of the Mărotłism of the Gweats dynasty. Somewhat like Neo-Confucians, they sought to distill and "rationalize" social philosophy, and to rigorously derive it from first principles. (?)
| |
|
| |
|
| Snialism, a mystical form of Ngronaism, also arose during this period as a reaction to the dominant ideology.
| | Jeodgan greatly loosened Mărotłian religious laws at first, for example lifting the ban on eating land vertebrate meat. |
| | |
| ===Jeodgan===
| |
| Emisom Jeodgan was inspired by old Second Mover writings for his own idea of the Second Mover, to formulate what he believed was the most true religion/philosophy.

| | However, some of his followers went even more hardline on vegetarianism, prohibiting all animal products that required killing the animal. |
