Influism, or more commonly known as the New Way, is a new philosophy that was born in the wake of the Curella epidemic and the Turmocet incident. Mostly based from an independently published manuscript, A Revelation of Influence, by Roenald Jhem Cleidren, it is quickly gaining popularity, threatening to become the prevailing philosophy in the setting of post-apocalyptic Galwyndor, especially those in remoter regions such as The Verges. The philosophy espouses a belief that every man is born free, that loyalty and respect are luxuries that should be earned, and that power belongs to he could would wield it, which is the root of the common phrase Man is all, league is all.
