The Neutrals on Atys are homins and hominas who, out of conviction or pragmatism, refuse to pledge allegiance to any particular faction or nation. While all refugees arriving from Silan are initially neutral, some choose to remain in this state, turning their neutrality into an active commitment to peaceful coexistence and the pursuit of indiscernible truth.
In the mystical universe of Atys, there exists hidden knowledge, a universal truth that eludes mere mortals. This knowledge, known as Gnosis, is the very essence of existence for those who seek to unravel the mysteries of the bark. The Gnosts∴Tenants (Γνῶσις Γνῶστες∴Προστασία Φύλακες) have made it their mission to attain this enlightenment and to protect the harmony of their world.
Gnosis
Gnosis refers to spiritual knowledge, a form of transcendental wisdom that goes beyond mere intellectual understanding. It is perceived as an inner revelation, a universal truth that allows one to comprehend the mysteries of existence and divinity. In the context of the Gnosts∴Tenants, gnosis is the foundation of their quest, the ultimate goal of their spiritual pursuit.
Gnosis on Atys
On Atys, gnosis represents the enlightenment that the Gnosts∴Tenants seek to achieve. It is not merely an accumulation of knowledge but a profound understanding of the universe and the essence of things, guiding their actions to maintain the balance between factions and nations.
Gnosts
Gnosts are those who have attained or aspire to attain gnosis. They are sages or enlightened beings who put their knowledge into practice in their daily lives.
The Role of Gnosts on Atys
Gnosts are members of the Gnosts∴Tenants in the universe of Ryzom. They do not merely seek the truth; they embody it and use their understanding of gnosis to guide their decisions, striving to remain neutral while acting for the common good of Atys.
Tenants
Tenants are the protectors or guardians of a principle or cause, committed to defending a vision or ideal, often by maintaining balance and preserving harmony in a diverse context.
The Role of Tenants on Atys
Tenants in the context of the Gnosts∴Tenants are those who, having acquired gnosis, commit to protecting the balance of Atys. They do not take sides in conflicts between factions but work for harmony and cooperation among all nations. They act as mediators and defenders of peace, using their knowledge to guide others.
The Gnosts∴Tenants are a guild of arcanists dedicated to the quest for Gnosis on the world of Atys. Under the leadership of Yooll, this guild strives to attain ultimate enlightenment, guided by the principles of wisdom and harmony. Rooted in a philosophy of cosmic neutrality, the guild does not take sides with any faction or nation, preferring to preserve universal balance through the perpetual quest for Gnosis, a transcendent knowledge that reveals the deepest mysteries of existence.
The Apeiron, a concept borrowed from ancient wisdom of Atys, is at the heart of this quest. It represents the indefinable infinity, the primordial source of all existence, which the Gnosts∴Tenants seek to understand and integrate into their daily lives. This spiritual quest aims to reach the Ultimatum, the Cosmic Absolute of Gnosis, a perfect synthesis of wisdom, balance, and spiritual power.
Guided by a Synod of Gnosts and a Conclave of Gnosis Scholars, the guild regularly meets in the Agora, a sacred space representing the microcosm of the infinite universe. There, members share their reflections, meditate on the Apeiron, and strive to preserve harmony on Atys. The Gnosts∴Tenants, through their active neutrality and spiritual commitment, act as mediators, guardians of peace, and protectors of the secrets of the universe.
The Gnosts∴Tenants find their roots in the collaboration of two members, one homin and one homina, from each of the great nations of Atys: Matis, Zoraï, Tryker, and Fyros, uniting their forces to seek gnosis.
The Matis
The Matis, known for their scholarship and quest for perfection, have brought rigorous intellectual discipline to the Gnosts∴Tenants. Their contribution lies in their ability to see beyond appearances, to challenge established dogmas, and to seek hidden truths. The Matis have integrated their love of science and beauty into the quest for gnosis, seeking to harmonize nature and knowledge.
The Zoraïs
The Zoraïs, with their deep spirituality and connection to nature, have enriched the Gnosts∴Tenants with a meditative and mystical perspective. Their approach to gnosis is rooted in contemplation and communion with the bark, bringing an introspective and sacred dimension to the quest. The Zoraïs have taught the Gnosts∴Tenants the importance of inner balance and peace of soul in the search for truth.
The Trykers
The Trykers, with their free spirit and love of exploration, have introduced an element of adventure and curiosity into the Gnosts∴Tenants. Their contribution is manifested in their rejection of rigid hierarchies and their belief in truth as a personal and collective quest. The Trykers have emphasized the importance of freedom of thought and expression in the search for gnosis, while encouraging cooperation among all peoples.
The Fyros
The Fyros, known for their courage and devotion to honor, have brought moral strength and a sense of justice to the Gnosts∴Tenants. Their contribution lies in their commitment to protect the weak and to maintain order, even in times of chaos. The Fyros have integrated their code of honor into the quest for gnosis, seeing truth as a flame to be preserved in the darkness.
A Sacred Alliance
Together, these eight individuals, each representing a unique aspect of their culture, formed the core of the Gnosts∴Tenants. Their collaboration created a holistic approach to gnosis, where each national perspective enriches the other. They vowed to maintain neutrality and harmony, never aligning with a single faction or nation but working for the common good of all Atys.
The philosophy of the Gnosts∴Tenants is based on the search for harmony through gnosis. They consider that universal truth is fragmented, scattered among the different peoples, cultures, and beliefs of Atys. This fragmentation requires a humble and inclusive approach to be assembled.
Active Neutrality
The Gnosts∴Tenants advocate for neutrality that is not passive but rather deeply engaged. For them, maintaining peace and harmony requires continuous action and increased vigilance. They seek to integrate the diverse perspectives of the factions and nations of Atys while refraining from aligning with any of them.
The Quest for Gnosis
The quest for gnosis is the heart of the philosophy of the Gnosts∴Tenants. This quest is not just an intellectual search but a spiritual exploration aimed at understanding the mysteries of existence. The Gnosts recognize that truth is fragmented and cannot be held in its entirety by a single person or faction. This is why they advocate humility and listening, seeking to learn from all, whether they be ancient sages or new refugees.
The Concept of Indiscernible Truth
The Gnosts∴Tenants reject the idea of an absolute truth held by a single faction or nation. For them, each culture and belief holds a part of the truth, and it is by gathering these fragments that one can approach gnosis. This approach makes them open to dialogue and continuous learning, respecting and integrating the contributions of all the homins of Atys.
The Gnosts∴Tenants maintain carefully balanced relations with all the factions and nations of Atys. Their goal is to preserve harmony while remaining firmly neutral.
Nations
The Gnosts∴Tenants are friends with all nations, but they do not align with any of them. They act as mediators and advisers, helping to resolve internal and external conflicts without taking sides. Their goal is to maintain peace and harmony between the nations by encouraging cooperation and mutual respect.
Kami and Karavan
The Gnosts∴Tenants maintain a neutral position regarding the Kami and the Karavan. They respect the beliefs of each, but refuse to pledge allegiance to either of these powers. Their goal is to understand the hidden truths behind these beliefs while avoiding being drawn into the conflicts they generate.
Marauders
Relations between the Gnosts∴Tenants and the Marauders are also neutral. While both groups share a rejection of established structures, the Marauders seek to destroy and reshape order, while the Gnosts∴Tenants seek to preserve balance. They avoid direct conflict with the Marauders, preferring to remain neutral and distant while being ready to intervene to maintain peace.
Rangers and Trytonists
The Gnosts∴Tenants share many common points with the Rangers and Trytonists, particularly their neutral approach and quest for truth. They maintain respectful and cooperative relations with these groups, recognizing their essential role in preserving harmony on Atys.
The organization of the Gnosts∴Tenants is decentralized and based on collaboration and knowledge sharing. Each member is both a seeker of gnosis and a protector of harmony.
Structure
The Gnosts∴Tenants have no rigid hierarchy. Every member is a Gnost in search of gnosis and a Tenant who protects harmony. Important decisions are not imposed authoritatively but are rather guided by mutual consensus, reflecting the essence of neutrality that defines their order. They constantly strive to reach a shared understanding before making any decision, relying on the diverse perspectives of each member, whether they be old or new refugees.
Roles
Gnosts: All members of the Gnosts∴Tenants are Gnosts, engaged in the quest for gnosis. Their role is to learn, meditate, and pass on their knowledge to others.
Tenants: As Tenants, they are also the protectors of harmony. They intervene to resolve conflicts, using their wisdom to guide others toward peaceful solutions.
Playing a Gnosts∴Tenant in Ryzom involves embodying a character who is both a seeker of truth and a guardian of peace. They must show wisdom, patience, and great open-mindedness. This character avoids direct conflict, preferring to resolve issues through dialogue and mediation while deeply respecting the viewpoints of others, whether they be old or new arrivals on Atys.
Roleplay Scenarios
Conflict Mediation: A Tryker village is divided between those who want to join the Kami and those who want to follow the Karavan. A Gnosts∴Tenant could intervene to ease tensions and find a compromise acceptable to all, while learning from the unique perspectives of the older and younger Trykers.
Quest for Knowledge: A Gnosts∴Tenant might embark on a quest to find an ancient Zoraï artifact believed to contain forgotten truth. This journey would be both an inner quest and an adventure in the world of Atys, enriched by the stories of the elders and the discoveries of new refugees.
Achievements: The ultimate quest of a Gnosts∴Tenant may also involve completing challenges and missions offered by each faction, nation, and tribe of Atys. By becoming exalted in all these disciplines, a Gnosts∴Tenant approaches gnosis, seeking to understand every aspect of the world to achieve enlightenment.
Interaction with Others
The Gnosts∴Tenants must interact with members of other factions in a respectful and empathetic manner, always seeking to understand before judging. Their active neutrality drives them to be bridges between cultures rather than divisive actors. They see every interaction as an opportunity for mutual learning, where the wise advice of the elders mingles with the new ideas of the young refugees.
Communication among the Gnosts∴Tenants reflects their spiritual quest. They use symbols and mantras to represent their concepts while maintaining respectful and inclusive language.
Symbols and Mantras
The Gnosts∴Tenants use symbols to represent their quest for gnosis and their role as Tenants. For example, a circle symbolizing unity and infinity, or a central point representing ultimate truth.
Language
While the Gnosts∴Tenants speak the common languages of Atys, they have developed a symbolic and poetic language to express deep and often ineffable concepts. They also use meditative mantras to focus on their inner quest and to prepare for their roles as mediators. This language is respected and passed down by the elders, while being enriched by the new expressions of young refugees.
The Gnosts∴Tenants maintain neutral and respectful relations with all the tribes of Atys. They recognize the unique values and contributions of each tribe, whether benevolent or controversial.

At the heart of the philosophy and spiritual quest of the Gnosts∴Tenants lies the Apeiron, an ancient concept representing the indefinable infinity, the primordial source of all existence. The Apeiron is perceived as the cosmic matrix that encompasses and transcends all dimensions of the universe, a force that escapes the limits of human understanding. For the Gnosts∴Tenants, the Apeiron is much more than just a philosophical concept; it is the key to Gnosis, the ultimate knowledge that reveals the deepest mysteries of existence on Atys and beyond.
The guild's quest is to attain what is called the Ultimatum, the Cosmic Absolute of Gnosis. This state of supreme enlightenment represents the culmination of understanding the Apeiron, where each member, through meditation, study, and exploration, aspires to merge with infinity. The Ultimatum is the ultimate goal of the Gnosts∴Tenants, a perfect synthesis of wisdom, balance, and spiritual power that transcends material realities and opens the way to a complete understanding of the cosmos of Atys and the universe of Ryzom.
At the heart of the philosophy of the Gnosts∴Tenants lies a fundamental and mystical concept: the Apeiron. This term designates the undefined infinity, the primordial and unlimited source of all existence. On Atys, the Apeiron is perceived by the Gnosts∴Tenants as the ultimate driving force behind the quest for Gnosis, a cosmic energy that escapes all human definition but is at the origin of everything that is.
The Infinite Potentia
The Apeiron, in its manifestation on Atys, is perceived by the Gnosts∴Tenants as a primordial, undefined, and infinite force that transcends all forms and concepts. The members of the guild see in the Apeiron the ultimate source of all existence, a force that, although intangible, influences every aspect of the universe. The quest for Gnosis is thus a perpetual attempt to understand and approach this undefined infinity, to perceive the invisible weave that unites all things.
The Sages of Apeiron
Among the Gnosts∴Tenants, a particular group has dedicated itself to the study and meditation on the Apeiron. Known as the "Sages of Apeiron," these scholars and mystics devote themselves to perceiving infinity in all things, seeking to transcend the limits imposed by mortal forms and concepts. Their mission is to guide the guild in its quest for Gnosis by integrating the teachings of the Apeiron and to maintain the balance between intellectual research and spiritual understanding of infinity.
The Gnosts∴Tenants rely on rich symbolism and complex mythology to express their understanding of the universe and the Apeiron. Their tradition draws from the ancient mysteries of Atys, combined with a modern cosmic vision aligned with concepts such as M-Theory, which describes the universe as a set of interconnected membranes. This fusion of the ancient and the modern creates a unique mythology that guides their spiritual quest.
Symbol of the Apeiron
The central symbol of the Gnosts∴Tenants is the Ἀωἄ ∴ Ἄπειρον, an open circle or infinite flow representing the infinity and indefinable nature of the Apeiron. This symbol evokes the idea that the universe is boundless, an idea reinforced by modern discoveries in theoretical physics. The open circle also symbolizes continuity and the eternal connection between all things, a fundamental principle in the quest for Gnosis.
Founding Myths: Θεά Μήτηρ τῶν Μυστηρίων
The founding myths of the Gnosts∴Tenants tell of how the first sages discovered the Apeiron at the heart of Atys. The Θεά Μήτηρ τῶν Μυστηρίων (Goddess Mother of Mysteries) is revered as the embodiment of the Apeiron, the primordial force that wove the first fibers of the universe. According to legend, it was she who gave the first Gnosts∴Tenants the vision of the "Μαγικαὶ Μεμβράναι" (Magical Membranes), cosmic structures that connect all dimensions of existence, a concept that resonates with modern theories of multiple universes and hidden dimensions.
Mythology and M-Theory
The mythology of the Gnosts∴Tenants also incorporates modern concepts, such as M-Theory, which posits that our universe is a membrane floating in a higher-dimensional space. The "Μαγικαὶ Μεμβράναι" (Magical Membranes) are perceived as the invisible structures that maintain cosmic balance and link different universes together. The Gnosts∴Tenants believe that the Apeiron is the force shaping these membranes and that understanding these structures would reveal the deepest mysteries of existence.
The philosophy of the Gnosts∴Tenants is rooted in the perpetual quest for Gnosis, a transcendent knowledge that goes beyond mere appearances and seeks to understand the very essence of the universe. Guided by the principles of Apeiron, the members of the guild strive to perceive infinity in all things, transcending the limits of conventional knowledge to reach deep and ultimate wisdom.
Doctrine of Apeiron
The Doctrine of Apeiron is at the heart of the teachings of the Gnosts∴Tenants. It postulates that the universe is a manifestation of Apeiron, a primordial and undefined force that escapes ordinary human understanding. Members of the guild are encouraged to meditate on the Apeiron as the origin of all things and to seek to integrate this understanding into their daily lives. According to this doctrine, any quest for Gnosis is, in fact, an attempt to get closer to this infinite source, to harmonize with the indefinable flow of the universe.
Cycle of Illumination
The Cycle of Illumination is an initiatory path proposed to members of the Gnosts∴Tenants, aiming to guide them from understanding finite concepts to deep meditation on infinity. This cycle includes several stages, each symbolizing a progression toward ultimate wisdom:
- 1. The Awakening: The first stage where the individual becomes aware of the existence of Apeiron and begins to question the limits of their knowledge.
- 2. The Contemplation: During this phase, the member intensely meditates on the Apeiron, seeking to perceive infinity beyond visible forms.
- 3. The Fusion: At this stage, the individual seeks to merge their being with the Apeiron, integrating infinity into every aspect of their daily life.
- 4. The Illumination: The ultimate stage where the member attains a deep and intuitive understanding of the Apeiron, spiritually uniting with the primordial source of all existence.
Each stage of the Cycle of Illumination is marked by specific rituals and moments of reflection guided by the Sages of Apeiron. These rites are designed to awaken the members' consciousness and prepare them for ultimate wisdom.
Meditation on the Apeiron
Meditation is a fundamental pillar of the teachings of the Gnosts∴Tenants. Each member is encouraged to devote time to daily meditation on the Apeiron. This practice aims to transcend the illusions of the material world and to commune with infinity. Meditation purifies the mind and prepares the individual to receive Gnosis while strengthening their connection with the Apeiron. In the Sanctuaries of the Arcanes, collective meditation sessions are organized, where members gather to explore the depths of infinity together.
The Agora of the Gnosts∴Tenants is much more than just a gathering place. It is a symbolic microcosm of the infinite universe (Apeiron), a sacred space where members meet to debate, meditate, and share their understanding of Gnosis. Every discussion held in the Agora is perceived as an echo of the primordial order taking shape in the chaos of infinity, a continuous creation process that reflects the indefinable and infinite nature of the Apeiron.
Agora as a Microcosm
In the vision of the Gnosts∴Tenants, the Agora is a small-scale representation of the universe itself. Each of the deliberations, meditations, and ceremonies that take place there is seen as a mirror of the cosmic processes that shape the Apeiron. Members gather in the Agora to reflect on the mysteries of existence, seeking to harmonize their minds with infinity. The architecture of the Agora itself is designed to reflect order and harmony, with concentric circles symbolizing the different layers of reality and the flows of cosmic energy.
Purification Rituals
Before each important meeting or collective meditation, members of the Gnosts∴Tenants participate in purification rituals. These ceremonies are designed to align the minds and bodies with the Apeiron, purifying thoughts and energies to allow a deeper connection with infinity. The rituals include meditative chants, the use of sacred symbols, and silent contemplation of the Apeiron, reinforcing the spiritual unity of the group.
Cosmic Neutrality
The Gnosts∴Tenants adopt a position of cosmic neutrality, not only on the political level but also at a deeper, cosmic level. They believe that taking sides with a faction or nation on Atys is to stray from the purity of the Apeiron, which transcends all mortal divisions. This neutrality allows the Gnosts∴Tenants to act as mediators between factions, seeking to maintain balance and harmony within the world. Their commitment to the Apeiron drives them to seek solutions that unite rather than divide and to encourage peaceful coexistence between all nations and factions of Atys.
The neutrality adopted by the Gnosts∴Tenants is not limited to simple political relations between the factions of Atys. It is rooted in a deeper understanding of the universe, reflecting their commitment to the Apeiron, the indefinable infinity that transcends all human divisions and categories. For the Gnosts∴Tenants, true wisdom lies in aligning with this cosmic order, beyond ephemeral conflicts and temporal interests.
Neutrality beyond Factions
The cosmic neutrality advocated by the Gnosts∴Tenants goes far beyond simple non-interference in factional conflicts. It is based on the conviction that any form of exclusive allegiance limits access to Gnosis, the ultimate knowledge. By refusing to align with a particular faction or nation, the Gnosts∴Tenants preserve their freedom of thought and their ability to perceive the universe in its entirety. This neutrality allows them to navigate between the various forces present on Atys, seeking to understand multiple truths rather than locking themselves into a single perspective.
Alignment with the Apeiron
Cosmic neutrality is also an expression of the Gnosts∴Tenants' alignment with the Apeiron, the indefinable infinity. By embracing this neutrality, they strive to transcend the dualities and oppositions that characterize the material world. This approach allows them to access a form of wisdom that is not influenced by human passions or earthly conflicts but is instead in resonance with the cosmic order. This alignment with the Apeiron is seen as an essential condition for attaining true enlightenment and the ultimate understanding of the universe.
Neutrality as a Mediating Power
As guardians of cosmic neutrality, the Gnosts∴Tenants play a crucial role as mediators on Atys. Their refusal to take sides gives them a unique moral authority, allowing them to act as bridges between factions and nations in conflict. They bring with them the wisdom of the Apeiron, seeking to resolve disputes not through force or cunning but through mutual understanding and harmonization of interests. For them, every conflict is an opportunity to restore universal balance by reminding all the actors involved that their existence is a part of the whole, connected to infinity.
The Gnosts∴Tenants believe that the universe is imbued with fragments of the Apeiron, ancient relics that contain traces of infinity. These relics are venerated not only for their mystical power but also for their potential to guide guild members on the path to Gnosis. Each of these relics is seen as a window into infinity, allowing those who understand them to perceive hidden truths and approach ultimate enlightenment.
The Primordial Relics
The Primordial Relics are the oldest and most sacred artifacts of the Gnosts∴Tenants. They are believed to be physical fragments of the Apeiron, gathered during the earliest meditations on the secrets of the universe. These relics possess powerful energy, capable of guiding meditations, amplifying the understanding of Gnosis, and opening portals to hidden dimensions. The Gnosts∴Tenants dedicate special rituals to these relics, seeking to draw upon their power to strengthen their connection with infinity.
The Memories of Apeiron
Among the relics venerated by the Gnosts∴Tenants, the Memories of Apeiron hold a special place. These objects, often in the form of crystals or ancient manuscripts, are imbued with ancestral knowledge and fragments of Gnosis. It is said that those who meditate in their presence can hear the echoes of infinity, perceive visions of ancient times, and understand truths that elude human logic. The Memories of Apeiron are often used during the cycles of Illumination to help members progress on their spiritual path.
The Quests of Infinity
The Gnosts∴Tenants regularly organize Quests of Infinity, sacred expeditions to retrieve other relics or explore the mysteries of the Apeiron. These quests are not only physical adventures but also spiritual journeys where each step is a teaching, each obstacle a lesson. Members who participate in these quests are often guided by visions or dreams sent by the Sages of Apeiron, seeking to deepen their understanding of the universe and to bring additional fragments of Gnosis back to the guild.
