Bradstowe Abbey

The largest place of worship for The Originator's Order in the capital of the Isles of Orlend.

Bradstowe Abbey is the home of The Originator's Order in the architect's district of Bradstowe, Orlend. It is from here that thousands of Orlendians practise the teachings of The Architect to live an orderly life.
Those who follow this faith believe that The Architect designed the world, and everything in it. Every living thing has a blueprint that has detailed plans of how their lives will unfold. Regardless of if your life goes well or poorly, it is all part of The Architect's grand design.
The Blueprint is the religious text of The Originator's Order. It’s an abstract collection of designs laid out by their deity, The Architect, and holds the secrets of the future for those who can decipher them. The oldest copy of The Blueprint is safely guarded within Bradstowe Abbey, but there are always printed copies available for personal reading.

Events & Ceremonies

Many events and ceremonies take place in the Abbey throughout the year. Regular sermons are held on the first day of the week, with importance being placed on the first day of the month, so that the teachings can guide the rest of your month to be as orderly and smooth flowing as possible.
Many weddings and funeral services are held within the Abbey, too, with huge attendance for upper class and weddings of the nobility.
