Rentror (sect leader)

Rentror was a famous follower of Dandalus. Rentror came to be violently opposed to the Dandalitic views of environmental activism, personal responsibility, and unselfishness. His basic tenets include personal intelligence, the importance of the self, a value of personal advancement, and the theory that the earth was built by individuals. How this schism happened is a matter of some debate, given the utter lack of accurate records. Since Dandalus and Rentror lived in the prehistoric period, there are no written records detailing their conflict, so historians are left to depend on oral accounts. The predominant theory maintains that Rentror cut his master's throat to end his rival's theories from spreading. Dandalus' death backfired, however, since Dandalism is far more predominant today than Rentrorism.

Writings
Despite being in the B.D. period, Rentror did write his beliefs down. However, his created language and the alphabet he used was never given to his followers, possibly because of his theory of personal advancement at the expense of others. However, a copy of his writings, which he carved into stone, have been recorded, and become a niche interest for scholars. Some copies of this writing still circulate among the sectarians, and various theories of its translation abound. Sadly, there are as many translations as there are sectarians, so no consensus has been reached. As a matter of fact, the only reason the outside world knows of the writing is because a thief killed a Rentrorite in 512h. and stole his scratching of the carving as an oddity.

Environmental Impact
Rentror, in his time, had a tremendous relative impact on the environment, seeing as how he was merely one man. Because of his persuasive skill, he was able to convince his masses of followers that cutting down vast swathes of forest was in their best interest. Once, as legend has it, he set off an avalanche in the Riggs Mountains, merely because he hated the goat population hiding in the lower valleys.
