Hello World of Divergent! Guess who's back again? That's right. I'm Matthew Teller, and I'm back with a whole new adventure. This week's adventure, took me to Erudite Faction. We all know that Erudite is the faction dedicated to knowledge, intelligence, curiosity, and astuteness. It was formed by those who blamed ignorance for the war that had occurred in the past, causing them to split into factions in the first place. Their substance for the Choosing Ceremony is water.

Erudite was formed by those who blamed human ignorance for the faults of society. They formed Erudite as a way of eliminating ignorance and darkness from human minds. Erudite values the virtue of intelligence and wisdom over any other. The members focus their lives on the pursuit of knowledge. Erudite are expected to delegate themselves in the library reading books, or, most commonly, reading something from the computer. They are also known to have memorized the city map. Members are also known to be particularly eloquent.

Each member must wear at least one article of blue clothing per day. Erudite's main color is blue, as it is a "calming color that helps stimulate the brain". Also, most faction members wear thick glasses to make them seem smarter. Members of Erudite generally wear practical, comfortable clothing such as pencil skirts, sweaters, and blouses. They pull their hair back with clips to prevent it from getting in the way of their work.

Erudite produces most of the city's librarians, doctors, scientists, and teachers. They are responsible for keeping records of the city and the factions. All technological achievements that the factions benefit from came from Erudite, such as the advanced agrarian methods employed by the Amity and all of the simulation serums.

Erudite harbor a fierce grudge against Abnegation, believing that they are secret-keepers who are not nearly as selfless as they seem. They seek power over the government, and on many occasions sabotage members of other factions to get what they want. They also use Dauntless as their soldiers. They have a close relationship with Amity. From what I could gather, there is relationship between Erudite and Candor.

Anyway, moving on. Another iconic building in the Dauntless sector is the Reaper Crew Clubhouse. An elite Motorcycle Club, founded by or Racing Instructor, Jensen Wilder. The Crew only allows members of Dauntless aged 18 and older to join. To join this club, you start off as a prospect and got through something similar to an intiation into a faction, except its much more easier to get through. The clubhouse itself looks like any other warehouse but the inside boasts a bar, pool table, meeting room, dance floor, dorm rooms, kitchen and of course lots of dauntless and reaper crew photos.

So there you have it. A peek into the life of Dauntless. Where do you want to see me go next? Leave a comment and let me know? I may just use your suggestions.

Much Love,
