Purist Movements

Gaean movements among the Races of Man, these exist in multitudes and are found throughout Gaea's many continents and communities and are collectively known as Purist or Purity Movements. Made up of conservative and traditionalist members of human society, these organizations are devoted to the cause of keeping Man and Monster separate. Some are actively hostile to Monsters and seek to kill them, as was common throughout most of Gaea's history. Others simply disapprove of relations with these creatures or allowing them into human communities and settlements, arguing for the expulsion and for laws restricting or preventing relationships between Monsters and Men. As such, they can broadly be viewed as anti-Monster movements. Members are commonly known as Purists. The more influential Purist Movements often engage in harassment, vandalism, threats, violence, lynchings, and terrorism more broadly, and will target both Monsters and the people involved with them. Those on a smaller scale will tend to stick to "awareness" campaigns and general propaganda meant to sway public opinion in their favor and increase their ranks. As such, they are often at odds with Adventurers, as that category of people has a tendency to view Monsters at least neutrally and often favorably. Most members of Purist movements do not regularly interact with Monsters and are frequently of middle to upper social status, though they frequently draw on rural supporters and members of military and law enforcement organizations.
