Editing Glöbbery (section)

== Beliefs ==

Glöbbery worshipped the [[The Gentleman|Gentleman]] as its supreme deity. Glöbberists identified him with Satan and [[Ba'al]]. The order used the name Gentleman because it presented him as a formal ruler of contracts, wealth, sacrifice, secrecy, and hidden power.

The first doctrine was written by [[Elias Schwammelwanger]] in 1888. It defined loyalty to the Gentleman through secrecy, payment, obedience, and sacrifice. Wealth gained through the order was treated as a sign of the Gentleman's favour.

The main symbol of the Gentleman was a white-gloved hand holding a black cane above a red seal. The hand represented command. The cane represented rank. The red seal represented the contract between the Glöbberist and the Gentleman.

The motto of the order was ''Der Vertrag bleibt'', meaning ''The contract remains''. It appeared on Glöbberian documents and ritual material.

Sacrifice formed part of the religious and financial system of Glöbbery. The order treated sacrifice as payment to the Gentleman. Restricted ledgers recorded who made the payment, where it was made, and what the member expected in return. After 2024, these ledgers became central evidence in investigations into the order.
