Sagwalli Templar
These guys are a militaristic religion under the LIR that is Sagwalli and Topper only. They believe the Toppers to be messengers from the gods guiding all races towards salvation. They're used militarily against rebel groups, or "heretic scum" as they're known, and are known for being extremely ruthless, usually quickly killing anyone who poses a threat and then slowly torturing any remaining enemies to death, only giving them the release of death if they have to move elsewhere to kill more enemies.
Structure
Toppers -> Sagwalli priests -> Sagwalli warriors -> Non-warrior Sagwalli
Public Agenda
Making sure everyone is faithful to the Toppers and salvation, by killing anyone who isn't.
Assets
Lots of weapons, LIR funding, most of the Sagwalli species
History
While taking over the Sagwalli, the Toppers accidentally started a religion in which the Toppers were messengers of the gods. They decided to promote this religion rather than suppress it as they did other religions and soon most of the Sagwalli species were members of this religion. The members of this religion, the Sagwalli, became the LIR's most devoted warriors as a result.
Mythology & Lore
They believe that their species fell into a post-apocalyptic state because they weren't faithful to the gods and that the Toppers are messengers bringing everyone to salvation by being under their rule.
Gods include: Reshla, a god of thunder, solar flares, meteor storms, earthquakes and other disasters. He gets angry whenever people are unfaithful and that's why he makes the disasters.
Hura, goddess of war, revenge, combat and the chief mistress of the Master of the Gods
Ji, Master of the Gods. Created the Big Bang from his left hand.
Zela, gender depends on who you ask and is sometimes 2 individuals that merged together, god/goddess of life that made the oceans from... his/her urine!? Ewwww...
Divine Origins
LIR promoted the religion after accidentally making it while conquering the Sagwalli.
Cosmological Views
The Big Bang apparently happened because of the Master of the Gods cutting off one of his left hands and life comes from god urine.
Tenets of Faith
Faithfulness and service to the Toppers is key, especially military service as the Sagwalli believe they were created by war gods.
Ethics
"It's only bad to kill peeps if they're not heretics"
Worship
Lots of blood sacrifices.
Priesthood
Step one is winning in a fight to the death against someone else trying to become a priest. Next step is spending years being thoroughly taught the ins and outs of the faith.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Rebels are terrified of these guys. The Toppers need to be careful with these guys so that they don't realise it's all a lie.
Sects
There's a big argument over what gender Zela is, whether Zela has a gender, if Zela is even a single god/goddess and all sorts within the Templar but otherwise everything is set in stone. Literally.
"It is better to die for salvation than to live for yourself", "a million hells await the heretics"
