Editing Word of Blake (section)

== Sub-Factions ==
Because the Word of Blake was more of a religious organization rather than a unified front, there were plenty of splinter groups that made keeping track of them a major headache for the major powers; since it meant the Blakists could go from normalish people to crazed zealots within a year depending on who would take charge of the local cell.

* '''Toyamas''': The most openly radical and zealotous group, eventually drowning out all others or even assaulting them for HERESY. Pretty much all the bad shit the Word of Blake did was done by these maniacs.
* '''Counter-Reformists''': While often just as religious as Toyamas, the Counter-Reformists often merely preferred the religious doctrine of the WoB re-written so that it was no longer as "corrupted" as it had been. Understandably, this did not win them many fans among their own.
* '''True Believers''': The bizarre reasonable faction of the Word of Blake, trying to be the middle man between all the other ones. While they didn't start any shit, they definitely didn't take any either, and any attempted betrayals or power plays often ended violently and almost never in the favor of the not-True Believers. They figured there were too many fractured parts of the WoB and that uniting under one vision was a better idea in the long run.
* '''Expatriates''': A bunch of ComStar officers who felt betrayed by Comstars reforms, and joined the Word of Blake as a result. Often sided with the True Believers, but then got blown the fuck out once many of their highest ranking leaders were revealed to just be ComStar agents.
* '''Shunners''': The doomsday preppers/cult. They figured the Jihad was the beginning of the end of human civilization in the Inner Sphere, and so they felt now was time to hole up and wait it out in a refuge on Venus, which then had most of them get incinerated when another faction (probably the Toyamas) decided they needed to go and sabotaged the refuge's atmosphere controls.
