===Oracles===
The baramin of moral fundamentalism. Oracles are a more philosophical branch of Lemuria, and the sort that refuse to believe that their ideas might be just a little bit out of touch, or that they might be wrong. They know many mystical secrets, most of which have been disproven, are completely contradictory to reality, or are just utterly ridiculous. But they do know a lot of normal things too, and their grant is the ability to spend Mania to learn one mundane fact that a world-class specialist in the field might know after several hours worth of research in a good library. They're still upset that new philosophies have replaced those they believe in, like Christianity replacing Roman polytheism, or Aristotle's theories replacing Plato's, or just the fact that Taoist alchemy was wrong about mercury granting immortality. They're counterparts to both the Hermetics and the Celestial Choir of [[Mage: The Ascension]], blending together old-fashioned philosophies that don't realize they've been superseded by better ones, and the bad attitude that results from people believing that they're absolutely and definitively right. They're currently fading away, as the Atomists are growing in power. Their favored axioms are Exelixi and Metatropi, to help them 'fix' things and change them to be the way the Oracles think they should be.
