The souls of members of this group await the Last Judgment along with a Nietzsche-esque Antichrist in a novel by Pierre Klossowski. A character in another novel notes that this group’s seal, which depicts two men riding the same horse, breeds speculation about their sexuality. A map belonging to this group places the (*) Omphalos at the center of the world’s “telluric currents.” A book by Colonel Ardenti proposes that this group had a plan for world domination, inspiring a mock theory called “The Plan” that is created on (-5[1])the (10[1])computer Abulafia by Diotallevi, Belbo, and a scholar of this group named Casaubon.
