Terminus

The Terminus of Light is a Maninist apocalypse. The Path is the Way to Terminus, and Terminus lies at the end of the Path. Maninist hold that the Path and the promise of Terminus was taught to man when the world was young, and the goal of the Faith is to drag humanity, kicking and screaming if necessary, down the Path to its end. There is no agreement on the exact nature of Terminus, and the most popular theological position is that Terminus is unknowable to those who have not passed it, but it is generally agreed to involve the liberation of humanity from the bonds of the World. What precisely that might entail varies, depending on who is telling the story. There is further no clear consensus on whether Terminus may only be reached by humanity as a whole, or if individuals might race ahead and reach it first. 
Caution must be taken not to confuse Terminus with a terminus. The Terminus is only one of the Maninist apocalypses; there are many others, lying at the end of all the different paths. Should humanity reach a different terminus, it will meet a much darker end, though again the precise nature depends on who is doing the telling.
