Secundum Naturae Ordinem Wesen (Lat. "Second Natural Order of Wesen"; Ger. Purewelt Orden "Pure World Order" (abbreviated P.W.O.) or Wesenrein), is an organization founded during the middle ages, dedicated to keeping the world pure of what it deems impure lifestyles or blood.
During their daylight demonstrations, they wear camouflage outfits and green bandanas. During their evening demonstrations, they wear black robes and pointed hoods with eyeholes. More recently, members have been spotted in Portland wearing dark brazen masks.
They act according to the Reinheitsgebot, an ancient Wesen purity law, which declares the interspecies marriage as taboo."Invalid Number" ("Highway of Tears") To demonstrate their protest against mixed marriage, they burn wooden stakes (often in the form of a Wolfsangel ("Dyin' on a Prayer") ("Cry Luison") ("Highway of Tears")). Another warning they will do is hang a dead animal outside the home or workplace of their targets as a final warning for the couple to split up. ("Chupacabra") Eventually they will kidnap their targets, put them to trial, and burn them tied together on a stake."Invalid Number" Then, they eat the remains."Invalid Number" The families of these couples are also at risk-- they murder any and all who are related to the offenders."Invalid Number"
Excerpt from Grimm Diaries
I first encountered the Secundum Naturae Ordinem Wesen, also known as the Wesenrein, during a trial conducted by the Catholic inquisition. Not only were they searching out heretics and burning them at the stake, but some of the inquisitors, I discovered, were Wesen and using their positions to root out impurity within the Wesen society. The Wesen heretics, or as they were known, The Impuro, were tried outside the cities by secret tribunals. These brutal trials dragged on from one to three days, bereft of mercy.
They too were burned, not necessarily so much at the stake as through the stake. Seeing as the tribunals were were doing my work for me, I took a much needed sabbatical on the Isle of Crete.
History
Southern United States
In 1865, Purewelt activists in the southern United States formed a party known as the Ku Klux Klan, or K.K.K., aimed at destroying all Republican presence in the South. They had a tendency to target black leaders. They became notorious for being prejudiced against colored people. A common sight was men in white garments with tall white hoods. The Klan was shut down in 1874 by law officials.
In 1915, the Klan was brought back again. With this second Klan, cross burnings became popular. The second Klan lasted until 1945.
The third Klan in 1946 introduced mass destruction, such as house bombing. Today the Klan still exists with several thousand members.
Nazi Germany
In 1941, Purewelt activist leader Adolf Hitler launched a campaign to destroy all people of Polish descent. Per his Generalplan Ost, slavic peoples could be sent to the western portion of Siberia, though this plan was not executed. In order to solve all legal and other implications surrounding Judaism, he decided to have all Jews slaughtered or worked to death. Many groups were forcefully sterilized or executed, including the colored, unintelligent, unthrifty, sexually awkward, promiscuous, dirty, ill, mentally handicapped, homeless, criminal, Romani, and Protestant people.
Bosnia
In 1992, Purewelt activist leader Dario Kordić led a mission known as the Lašva Valley ethnic cleansing, in which the Croatian army persecuted and slaughtered Muslims living in Bosnia. This mission fell apart in 1993.
