The “Brothers” Continue Secularization of Our Lives

(Content Warning: the following article represents the views of an extreme religious group. It does not necessarily represent the views of everyone who identifies as Treven or as a follower of Lilywhite. We include it here to help illustrate the complexities of Uplantic culture and baseball’s impact on different world views. Today in Uplantic Baseball does not endorse the views espoused in this work.)
Since the turn of the century, our rights as Trevens have been under attack. Make no mistake, this so-called “nation of cooperation” is a direct assault on the traditional way of life that Treven families have thrived under since before the Emergence over two millennia ago.
The USU was founded in 1902. They called it the “Uplantic Pact,” but true men and women of the Word of Lilywhite know that it was a coffin built for our way of life. Since then, the leadership of the Harmonyc Brotherhood has allowed the godless hordes of this continent to hammer nail after nail into that coffin with Harmony inside.
Worse than that, they have helped swing the hammer with what they call “national public outreach programs.” They claim that these programs help us move forward with our neighbors to a better future, but those of us who still revere Lilywhite’s teachings see through the lies. They have sullied the Word of the Prophet, teaching that the Arkwombs were built by cooperating with lesser nations. They have warped our story, little by little, stripping us of our people’s true history as the rightful overseers of all nations under the Word. They teach our children that it was our simple neighbors who gave us the ability to survive the Cataclysm, rather than the truth that it was only through our grace as masters of nature that those unenlightened masses had the chance to continue their primitive bloodlines at all. Our leadership seems to have forgotten that.
The newest affront in the conspiracy to wipe traditional Trevenry from “Uplantic” history is the game of baseball. While it seems innocuous enough, a children’s game played by elite athletes for our entertainment, Salvation’s team hides a dark agenda. They claim that they are “bridging the gap between cultures for a brighter future for all.” But by wearing the secular “TSC” for “Tiny Sea City” on their uniforms, they symbolically surrender the identity of our homeland. They are sending the message to the Treven people and to everyone on the continent that Harmony is open for the taking by the profane forces that surround us and encroach more and more every day.
The “Brothers” team employs players that don’t believe in Lysander Lilywhite’s teachings. It allows dangerous, foreign religious rites to be practiced by these interlopers in the very halls of our great Salvation City Center. The league that the team plays in operates under a hateful “code of conduct” that equates adherence to ancient Treven customs as “discrimination.” The crux of their sinister plans are nothing less than the very destruction of Harmony and Salvation, the transformation of our society to punish Trevens for our historical greatness.
When George Hader put the team up for sale, we had hope that true Treven Believers might soon be represented by the team and that they might put an end to the bending of the knee to our lessers. That hope was crushed when the buyer was revealed to be none other than Jon Walsh, son of one of the main architects of our cultural doom: Brent Walsh. The Walsh crime family has made a fortune selling out our homeland to ideologies that would see us destroyed. They have used their wealth to fund the very “national public outreach programs” that paint us as evil simply because of our religious beliefs.
Harmonyc Brotherhood leadership has partnered with these opportunist bigots before our very eyes. They have turned their backs on our history, and they threaten our future. The time has come to make a stand, True Believer! The enemies of hope are at the gates! Do not take your freedom for granted! Talk to your local congregation about the erosion of our way of life.
