BE ADVISED: The Department of Exotheology does not study exotic religions. (That would be the purview of the Department of Exoreligiology in the Faculty of Memetics.) Rather, the Department of Exotheology studies exotic gods.

Advanced courses in this department invariably involve the study of things mortals were not meant to know - at least in the opinion of its objects of study - but if you cared about that sort of thing, you wouldn't intentionally be here.

If you do not understand the fine distinction being made on this sign, we suggest that you consider instead the eponymous course LG01034 "Fine Distinctions", offered by the Faculty of Semiotics.

Originally built as a center for the exploitation of Eurymir’s resources, the largely underground complex served as a control center for solar power generation (in the continuous sunlight both groundside and in orbit)

Paradigm Shift

“Souls are software objects,” the Horologians maintain, and this is truth. We need not, however, fall into the Horologian-acknowledged automatonic heresy that reaves the universe of all choice and meaning, nor dismiss so casually our hard-won millennia of spiritual wisdom. To be certain, this truth vitiates the core claim of

To The Unknown God

Among the temples, fanes, and shrines to be found across Eliéra and its daughter worlds, special note should be made of the Alienage Temples. Authorized in 76 by the Speaker of Starlight, the Alienage Temples exist to provide a place for contemplation of and communion with eikones and spirits which

The King and the Planet Are One

KALLAER (SAPROS DEMESNE) – As the Laeth Pact entered its third year of economic recession, the reign of Hieros Navat atir-Laeth ul-Sark was brought to an end today.
