Ancient Philosophical Schools

In the Pallathantic Region, the academic tradition in ancient times derived from various, sometimes contending schools of philosophy. The schools were most active from around 500 AS to 500 AI, or nearly a thousand years. The schools were often seen as subversive or heterodox to the Arathracian Religion during the Yophenthean Empire and had to couch their language in parables and myths to avoid disfavor.

Principle Schools

Durrhaunvite School

mantic, rejects strong hierarchy; teachings of the Durrhaunvian Triad

Midretassene School

(Sometimes called the Tassan School): prefers long view of ancient history, accepts Great Flood, compromise between rationalism and irrationalism, accepts authority of ancient Kalaman sources; Kalamantizing Philosophers

Mirrhaimotic School

unconcerned with very ancient times, rationalist, questions absoluteness of the gods, accepts magic as natural force separate from human and natural prejudices. Typically rejects much of titanism, but not all nor always.

Elantuventhine School

Shelekhumbian; gods, alchemy, astronomy are all important; informed mantic

Zamaclene School

mantic within ordered hierarchy; priest must rely on gods, but also must be informed with the knowledge of the past. Unconcerned with titanism.

Reflecting Schools

So-called Reflecting Schools because they 'reflected' the knowledge and wisdom of one of the principle schools. Ebinoïte School: very similar to the Mirrhaimotic School
