Jacobianism

Jacobianism is a philosophical school of thought originally derived from Margath and Thoric Jursanity, but over time has become isolated in its teachings.

Jacobianism was first defined in the book "The Life of a Jacobian" authored simply by the anonymous, "Jacob" in ____. It wasn't until one of Jacob's apprentices sons's, that the book was officially published and a following of his teachings began.

In the book, Jacob asserts a prediction that over time institutions and ideas become so convoluted from their founding they collapse from within. Too many conflicting interests force ideas to be merged and molded and shaped until they are unrecognizable. Jacob predicted the Jursan faith that was taking hold in Glaskarn was eventually going to be merged with northern old Grjotan ways, and Sirellian ways to become inpure. (Many argued in Jacob's writing revealed a nationalist or ethnic purest bent, but this has been refuted by Jacobian historians).

Jacob's book discussed many topics to human nature, individual and combined and makes assertions on the natural order. The last chapter of the book is where most of Jacobian ideology is based out of. Jacob offers his solution to becoming convoluted.

Jacob believed heavily in the concept of "Quicquid erit, fiet" or "Whatever will be, will be done" that the world is uncontrollable outside of oneself and one must find harmony, peace and rest in oneself in order to be truly in control. Jacobians believe in true self-control and self-determination they must eliminate distraction. They believe heavily in the concepts of rest, meditation, endurance, and have extended to pacifism. Early Jacobians spent hours and hours studying moral law from Jursanity to perfect themselves and strengthen their minds. Often times, the Jacobian way of life is extremely disciplined and isolated. Despite this, many Jacobian practices also hinge on feeling and emotion. They listen to their discernment of what they need and follow it.
