History & Background / Dossier

Simplist follow the teaching of their rather bizarre prophet, Ignaaz Flansheet (800-995). He believed that society placed far too much trust in technology, and as a direct consequence a new Long Night would occur. The only way to avoid such a conflagration, he argued, was to revert to a far simpler way of life. Although Flansheet was never taken seriously during his lifetime, his collected writings were published after his death and gained a small following. Simplist societies can be can be found across the Imperial core.
