Philip the Bard's Harappan Blog: The Paladin Society and the HFA


Greetings terrific readers. Thanks for being here.

Harappans and Earthers did not get along from the beginning. Then when the Earthers ruined our homeworld things got ugly. Things would have been much worse if Dorian Thain had not negotiated a settlement that gave Harappans possession of planet Kusha in such a way that prevented the Earthers from having any real influence here.

The Paladin Society formed on Harappa not long after “Harvest Day”. 

Why do we call it Harvest Day? That was the day John Trenton Keller, captain of the starship Marcus Johnson blasted a large vein of illumaphane which started a cascading blast that knocked the planet off its orbit. That day was also something of a Harappan holiday.  Harvest Day was typically the beginning of the harvest season. The first day “Harvest Day” ended with a feast after everyone worked so hard. So now, “Harvest Day” is how we remember the blast that destroyed our home world.

The Paladin Society was a response to the Harvest Day Blast. They became an underground movement that was fronted by the Harappan Cultural Center in Sandon.

After the Harvest Day Tsunami destroyed Salus and most of Caelum, Sandon became the Capitol of Harappa. The SID based their operations there so they could be close to the University.

The Harappan Cultural Center was established as a front for the Pals. The public goals of the Cultural Center were to preserve what Harappan culture they could before having to leave for Kusha. In the back ground the Center hosted the Pals who were working against the SID in any way they could.
