| |
| − |
| |
| − | The mathematically-impossible Dodekube is the icon of the dice-worshippers, who believe that logic is an illusion and that the universe is built up of nothing more than the cosmic dice rolls of disinterested gods. The belief arises from the fact that even the most sober and rational minifigs sometimes find themselves able to "see the dice."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Followers of dice worship are allways looking for cover as they believe life is entirely random and that at anytime a few chunks af ABS could smack them to the ground. Although this does sometimes happen, it is a very rare occurance.

| − | The Humanati worship humans directly, and are believed to be an offshoot of the Cult of the Player. They are still very new, but they domake sacrifices all the time in order to get the gods to notice them. They are expanding, so more of them should appear, but they will most likely remain mediocore when compared to the Brikthulu and Great Mason worshippers.

| − | The Cthu-Lhuminati infiltrate all significant institutions in the BrikWars universe through their fraternal front organization, the BrickMasons, seeking the forbidden technology and occult knowledge that will one day allow the minifigs to rise up and disassemble Humans in a terrifying Octopocalypse.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Although a seemingly innocuous fraternal organization at the lower levels, the upper BrickMason echelons practice occult rituals based on belief in a supernatural Human known as the Great Builder. The Great Builder is who hath created all the planets, and all the MOCs within them. Mid-level BrickMasons are his followers, who attempt to follow in his footsteps. Being pacifists, worshippers of the Great Builder have many rescources to spend on erecting magnificent cities and MOCs wherever they are found.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Upper-Level BrickMasons are actually members of the Cthu-Lhuminati, and they seek to discover the nature of an Even Greater Builder who constructed Humans, so they might learn his secrets and disassemble the Great Builder. To do this, they spend a great deal of time and resources organizing conspiracies to destroy all the varied and glorious creations of mid-level BrickMasons in the most spectacular fashion, to maintain their control of society and to learn the secrets that can be gained from fantastic acts of gratuitous destruction.

| − | The tripartite Troika symbolizes Construction, Disassembly, and "Mu" - Mu being an expression of the falsehood of the other two categories. The more one studies the three parts, the more the meanings reverse, until an infinite regression of self-contradiction leaves the viewer freed of the burden of conscious knowledge. It is often associated with the regenerative powers of the Dungan Jaw-Jaws.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Dungan worshippers believe that by becoming more like the Dungans, they can gain the foul creatures' regenerative powers, allowing them to heal injuries or perform regenerative magic upon such things as broken castles or sports cars. Their primary goal is to bring themselves to a transcendental state of consciousness through various means of deliberate self-infection with Dungan venom or other bodily fluids, or through the worship and consumption of sewage.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Minifig Dimmies, uniformed in the T-shirts and baseball caps of the human fratboys they seek to emulate, destroy quality construction wherever they find it; gradually turning the Lego world into an endless waste of shoddily-assembled piles of random elements. This is viewed as the ultimate escape from the materialism, desire, standards, and expectations of minifig society. This Mystical Juniorism is sometimes seen as an attractive option by minifigs who have become depressed by Critical Failure during a crucial opportunity for righteous destruction.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | True Dimmies where created by an adjunct professor named Cypher in the [[Myjstik Mountain Time Lab]] in [[B.R. 1,996]], using [[Negaverse]] radiation to transform innocent minifigs who had been unwittingly exposed to Nega genetiks deep in the past. Their particular mutation is one of very few that have been known to form a growth on the head known as a noze. Dimmies can never sleep but can still get tired thus in order to keep awake they destroy all the trappings of civilization in their way.

| |
| − | Minifigs wishing to join in with the Dimmies must complete the four [[tasks of mayhem]] before they will be mutated in the [[ABS]] surgical chambers and become half dimmies, the hapless foot soldiers of their pure blooded masters.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Dimmies, despite appearances, are not [[Undead]], since even re-animated skeletons have more brains than they do. (They are a lesser subtype known as "scum of the earth", a position they share with [[Jaw-Jaws]] and [[Nega-Blokians]].)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It has since become apparent that [[BoB]] is the true Messiah of all the Dimmies sent to unite them and lead them to war. Dimmies from all across the Brikverse flock to BoB and pledging their total allegiance. A vast army is amassing and it is predicted that shortly mayhem shall ensue.
