Church of the Silver Flame

The Church of the Silver Flame is the state religion of Thrane and the body administers the government of Thrane as well. The followers of the religion are known as Purified, or referred to as Flamites by outsiders.

The Church of the Silver Flame is broadly divided into three orders: the Order of Ministers, the Order of Templars, and the Order of Friars. the Church is led by the Keeper of the Flame and the Council of Cardinals. Those seeking membership into the priesthood who have yet to receive the rank of pilgrim are referred to as acolytes or seminarians. Individual priests sometimes possess titles such as flamebearer.

The Keeper of the Flame, Jaela Daran, is the spiritual leader of the Church of the Silver Flame and temporal ruler of Thrane as a whole—though the Council of Cardinals oversees both affairs in practice.

Only those members of the Church of the Silver Flame invested by the thirteen High Cardinals on the Diet of Cardinals with temporal authority ("theocrats") have the power to enforce or make laws in Thrane.
