Prodi. Today, the name refers to the widespread organisation of Kativa-worshipping humans residing in High Council countries. It is a name that brings fear and hate to the hearts of many men and women, particularily those in Sudbaya, where the Prodi are most prevalent. However, history rarely remembers who the Prodi truly were before their order was swallowed up by the Kativans.
The Prodi Movement began sometime towards the end of the 3rd Age in Leir, the intellectual capital of Button. It was created by Mikhael Prodi, a man whose ideaologies might today be labeled as 'Anarchist'. He died before his movement was able to gather any true momentum, but years after his death, in 3E 9928, his followers in Armanola started the Prodi movement and led a revolt against the monarchy. The revolt, known as 'La Guerra Prodi' (the Prodi War), was eventually put down, but the anarchist movement survived and spread throughout Grathor, Baya and Nyrdland. Today, it is most prominent in Sudbaya, where the Prodi movement has become associated with the demon worship of Kativa.
It is unclear how exactly the movement tied itself to Kativa, but it is speculated it happened in roughly 4E 80, when the Prodi first defied the High Council in the taking of Hemenskir. Since then, the Kativans have backed them up militarily and economicaly, and the Prodi army is now a force to be reckoned with.
It is strange to think that the vision of Mikhael Prodi in the late 3rd Age eventually culminated in the barbaric and cultist group we know today.
