The Fellowship was formed by Batlin, and the mysterious twins, Abraham and Elizabeth. Lord British only agreed to allow the Fellowship when Batlin told him it's aim would be to serve the people of Britania.

    The fellowship has branches in all the main towns of Brittania, the main branch and headquaters is in Britain, capital city of Britania. Go to any fellowship branch at the right time of day, normally in the evening, and you can hear the teachings of Batlin and the Fellowship. You may even be invited to join.

    With the people beginning to turn away from the virtues, and Lord British becoming increasingly isolated from the people, it is easy for the Fellowship to find a gap in people's lifes that needs filling. Most ordinary members of the Fellowship are perfectly good people who have no idea of the evil being done by some members. In many cases they have been virtually brainwashed by the leaders, and the guardian.

    The Fellowship has three principles that all members must adhere to. These principles are called the Triad of Inner Strength. The three principles are,

    STRIVE FOR UNITY Unity is essential for survival. If you quarrel among yourselves you will fail. Act with one will, and unity of purpose, and you will suceed.

    TRUST THY BROTHER Lack of trust makes you vulnerable. If you don't trust someone you will always be questioning their actions and intentions. If you have trust then you are able to work in harmony with others, secure in the knowledge that they can be trusted.

    WORTHINESS PRECEDES REWARD Do not expect something for nothing. Prove yourself worthy and you will be rewarded. Accomplish things in your life and you will gain much.

    Expressed this way the triad of inner strength actually sounds quite good, but it is easily used by a corrupt or evil leader to enforce his will. For example:

    STRIVE FOR UNITY all who are in the fellowship must act in unity, and must not argue or disagree with each other. If you dispute the actions of the fellowship then you are not a worthy member. Thus strive for unity becomes never argue or disagree with what the fellowship does, just accept it and act in unity with your fellow members.

    TRUST THY BROTHER All who are in the Fellowship are your brothers, therefore you must trust them. If you query the actions of one of the leaders, he could say "don't you trust me? If you don't trust me you're not a good fellowship member" Thus trust thy brother becomes unquestioning obeidience and blind trust that all the actions of the Fellowship are right.

    WORTHINESS PRECEDES REWARD In the Fellowship only those who are worthy are rewarded. Members view it as an honour to be considered worthy. Obey the wishes of the fellowship without question and you will be considered worthy, do things that are unpleasant or seem wrong in the name of the fellowship and you will be rewarded. Thus members are under constant pressure to prove themselves worthy.

    Combine these three principles with pressure from the branch leaders, and it is easy to see how the Fellowship was able to have such power over the good people of Britania.

    Though Batlin, Abraham, and Elizabeth appear to be the leaders of the Fellowship, in reality it is the Guardian that controlls the Fellowship. The Guardian uses the Fellowship members to carry out his wishes in Brittania, and put his evil plan for domination of Britania in place.

    Once a member reaches the higher levels of Fellowship membership, they are sent to the meditation retreat, where they are able to hear the Guardian speak to them. They aren't aware that he is evil, and because of the Triad of Inner Strength, they obey without question. So, although unable to enter Brittania, the Guardian is able to use the Fellowship to wreak his will upon the kingdom.
