Ascensionism

Ascensionism was an Orbis political and societal ideology centered around the belief in the transcendence of mortal limitations through unity, progress, and collective enlightenment. Rooted in the principles of unity and societal advancement, Ascensionism advocated for the elevation of humanity to a higher plane of existence. It emphasized the pursuit of a utopian society where all individuals transcend their limitations and achieve their fullest potential. Originating in the cosmopolitan streets of Sakai, it captivated many people in many nations with its focus on unity and progress. Influenced by a blend of philosophical teachings, technological advancements, and cultural diversity, Ascensionism gained traction as a transformative force within Kuhland-Sakai and beyond. 
As the ideology grew in popularity exponentially, its philosophy slowly became distorted and fanatic. This resulted in the formation of the extremist Ascendancy, a conglomerate of nations aimed at "elevating" all of Orbis through military conquest.
