Apodromios (clique)
The Sages of Purity or 'Apodromios' represent the dovish group within the order that eschew the customary definition of purity as being inborn in favor of what they maintain to be Katharitos' original interpretation of purity-- a state acquired by following the teachings of Katharitos. Rumored to hold the authentic versions of the texts of Katharitos, works deemed heretical by the rest of the order in favor of the now orthodox editions, the Puresages are by and large ostracized by their fellow brethren for various reasons. Foremost among them is their tendency to console the impure condemned to death by the Inspectors, earning them a great deal of disgust from the Cleansers, who hold such compassion for the inhuman as unbefitting for one of the pure. This and other actions deemed as blasphemy by the order has had several Puresages being declared among the impure by Inspectors and subsequently executed by the Cleansers in numerous past crackdowns.
