Neo-Vanicism

Neo-Vanic's politicial flag.

The Neo-Vanic movement is a radical, far-right religious-political ideology and network of cells that seeks to revive and promote the ancient Vanic faith, a hedonistic and controversial pagan religion formerly centered in the defunct nation of Stormark. Drawing inspiration from extremist models such as Ostland, Neo-Vanicism has historically been associated with ultranationalism, religious zealotry, and acts of terrorism.

Neo-Vanicism was also the name given to Francia and its policies, and included Batavia. But after the collapse of Stormark, the meaning of the word changed.

Neo-Vanicism established two unrecognized states. Yrjar and East and North Normandie. It is disputed that Yrjar was a Neo-Vanic state, as Hazarese reports fail to report any signs of Vanicism.

History

The original Vanic religion was a theocratic and deeply controversial system practiced in Stormark, a nation-state that fell into decline and eventual destruction by the early 18th century. Characterized by sacral monarchy, extreme gender dualism, and unorthodox sexual rites, Vanicism drew heavy criticism from the global community, particularly from religious and human rights organizations.

Despite their past ties, the Neo-Vanicists avoided exalting the old Francia and Batavia.

Principality of Yrjar

Stormark's decline culminated in the emergence of the short-lived state of Yrjar in 1685, considered by historians as a last-ditch attempt to preserve Vanic ideology under a new political banner. Yrjar, however, was decisively destroyed by the expanding Hazar in 1701, marking a symbolic and strategic end to any state-sponsored Vanic revivalism.

1706 Vanic insurgency

Despite the collapse of Stormark, remnants of the Vanic faithful began forming clandestine cells in 1685. These underground groups operated mainly in western and northwestern Keltia, preserving Vanic rites and fostering a growing hatred for modernist, Abrahamic, and republican institutions. By 1706, these cells coalesced into a loosely connected ideological movement and declared a "spiritual war" against the multicultural and secular state of Nouvelle Alexandrie, resulting in a short but brutal series of terror campaigns.

Defeat and suppression

The Vanic Conflict, as it came to be known, ended in 1712 with the decisive defeat of Neo-Vanic militants. Nouvelle Alexandrie's counterinsurgency operations dismantled most of the Neo-Vanic networks and launched an extensive ideological purge. The last known sacred sites of the old Vanic religion, located within the ruins of Stormark, were neutralized and destroyed by special operations forces.

Revival and Neo-Vanic Skinheads

Following their suppression, Neo-Vanic ideology reemerged in far-right internet subcultures. Particularly in the 1720s, anonymous imageboards and encrypted messaging groups began circulating propaganda that blended Vanic mysticism with white supremacist and accelerationist rhetoric. This new wave birthed the phenomenon of Neo-Vanic Skinheads, militant youth groups marked by shaved heads, ritualistic tattoos, and open calls for the "purification of Keltia."

The rise of the Confederacy of the Dispossessed, a shadowy ultra-nationalist alliance of exile groups and militias, provided renewed ideological and logistical support for Neo-Vanic cells. Between 1730 and 1740, these connections enabled the movement to rebuild its networks, acquire arms, and infiltrate impoverished and post-industrial areas of northwestern Keltia, where discontent and cultural fragmentation were on the rise.

The global 1737 Recession proved to be a fertile ground for Neo-Vanic recruitment. Economic despair, political instability, and social alienation allowed the movement to gain a foothold among the dispossessed. Community centers, ostensibly pagan cultural societies, and clandestine training camps became new fronts for Neo-Vanic indoctrination and paramilitary preparation.

Return to armed action

In 1744, nearly sixty years after the fall of Stormark, Neo-Vanic militants launched a series of coordinated attacks in Keltian port cities, targeting religious minorities, state infrastructure, and cultural institutions. Though lacking the capabilities of a full-scale insurgency, these attacks demonstrated the movement’s enduring threat. International observers have warned that without decisive intervention, the Neo-Vanic Movement may evolve into a broader ethno-religious extremist insurgency.

Near-success, Norman resistance and rejection

In the years leading up to 1746 AN, the neo-Vanic movement suffered a significant loss of credibility in its last stronghold, Northern Keltia. Svafar fled to the Green after the Bethencourt negotiations, and his fate is unknown. The EANN would gradually dissolve, reaching its full dissolution in 1747. The Keltia Restoration Movement symbolically burned its weapons and abandoned Normandy entirely. It is believed that those who remained were organized into cells.

After the Purification ov Normandie, Roulf de Bayeaux massacred the Vanic people to convert the region to Nazarene. Those who resisted were forced to declare their belief in the Aesir religion. Roulf de Bayeaux, to prove their credibility, also slaughtered the false Aesir. There are approximately ten thousand Aesir adherents and numerous villages in Normandy.

Svafar Kveldulfsson, the only surviving general and dictator of EANN, surrendered voluntarily to Normandie in 1761 AN1748 and has been imprisoned in Vardhaldsby maximum security prison ever since. He is undergoing adaptation therapy in prison.

The Brotherhood of the Sacred Norman Realm are not known to be active

Ideology

Religious Revivalism, at its core, Neo-Vanicism seeks to restore the pre-modern Vanic religion, advocating for the reestablishment of matriarchal priest-kingship, ritual sexuality, and animist traditions. Ethnonationalism, the movement preaches the supremacy of "Vanic bloodlines" and the necessity of cultural and racial purity. Anti-Abrahamism, a defining trait of the movement is its vehement opposition to Nazarene, Umraism, and Yehudi, which it sees as foreign corruptions of ancient spiritual orders. Accelerationism, many Neo-Vanic cells promote societal collapse as a means to hasten the return of a "Vanic golden age."

Vanic Satanism

Vanic Satanism or Rökkatru is a distorted, exaggerated, and satanic version of the Vanic religion centered on the fallen Stormark. This belief system abandons the mainstream of traditional Vanicism and combines it with dark occultism, ritualistic nihilism, and satanic theophilia. Particularly embraced by the underground factions of the Neo-Vanic movement, this belief is based on a mystical-satanic ideology of reincarnation.The encouragement of nudity is very high and this is combined with blood rites, masochism and sadism are also an integral part of these rites.

Traditional Vanicism, practiced on Stormark for centuries, was a goddess-based system. However, some sects began to practice deviant rituals, linking sacred female figures to sexuality, power, and death. After Stormark was completely destroyed in 1712, some radical groups turned the religion into a satanic salvation doctrine. They transformed the dark side of the goddess Freyja into a "Dark Mother" figure representing destruction and rebirth. This transformation became the basis of modern "Vanic Satanism".

The shift towards demonic themes also significantly shifted from the Vanatru faith. Those who devote themselves to this belief now favored the worship of chaos gods such as Loki and Jotun, bloodshed, and the downfall of Micras. This is why Vanic Satanists began calling themselves Rökkatru.

Ezoteric Vanicism

Esoteric Vanicism is a system of thought and belief that focuses on the mystical, symbolic, and inner meanings of the ancient Vanic religion rather than its exoteric teachings. This approach is an occult tradition that seeks to understand the secrets of the Vanic pantheon, the mysterious order of the universe, and the metaphysical nature of divine feminine power. Esoteric Vanics reject the corrupt forms of the classical Stormark theocracy, but reinterpret the same symbols with occult interpretations.

Nacional Vanicism

National Vanicism is a race-based, totalitarian, mystical-heretical ideology that developed after the fall of Stormark in the mid-18th century. This movement, which sees itself as the "true heirs" of the Vanic civilization, declares the superior Vanic races sacred, while defining the Euran peoples, Black Travellers, and other nomadic peoples as inferior races.

It combines the goddess-based structure of Vanic mythology with a "national spirit" myth based on blood, soil, and nudity. It emerged as the political arm of the Neo-Vanic heresy, and over time it has evolved into a more worldly, racist, and totalitarian structure.

Despite being historical enemies, Neo Vanics borrowed from the ideas of the Humanists, especially the ideas of Mr. Kessler, who was on the rise in Floria. Nacional Vanicism is a fusion ideology, appealing to the working class while glorifying the master race and dictatorship. The coming together of these opposing ideas is quite similar to the Nazbol example.
