Veritas

The Veritas are an organized group of young authors on fanfiction. They strive to make Fanfiction (generally the Percy Jackson and the Olympians fandom) a better place with constructive criticism and sometimes flaming, or harsh, harsh reviews of a story.

With its lack of spelling, grammar, and punctuation, the story just ASKED to be flamed by the Veritas.

Veritas Aequitas

It is quite possible that the words veritas and aequitas come from the Latin version of Isaiah 59:14 "et conversum est retrorsum iudicium et iustitia longe stetit quia corruit in platea veritas et aequitas non potuit ingredi" -- which translates to the King James version as "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter."

Veritas Aequitas

Truth and equity
equity meaning justice
