History
early history- the faith of the one was formed out of sect of people originally from the sultanate of abria around 4700YBCW 300 years after the migration. these men believed that the profit was not the son of god but a mare messenger of his word. they looked at the text written down in the chronicle of the profit. they saw the chronicles and its tales as fair-tales and cautionary tails. they believed the idea of slaughtering animals in certain days as primitive and wanted change. they also saw the worship of the profit and not god to be an affront to god himself and started worshiping god himself. they looked at the new human cultures sprouting up. and the verainbergers who had settled in the center of the continent seemed to be a good place to start in order to spread there new word of holiness. At this time the verainberguers (apart from house of hallsberg who worshiped wession religion) and Germincs worshiped the warrior god Sertus and his median wife segra. they believed that sertus was a strong character who men preyed to for good fortune in battle and in the bed room. sertus was also the main god of the faith as he is said to be the guardian of the religion. Segra is the goddess of medians, fertility, intelligence, genteelness and love. however the followers of this new religion traveled north to a small village and asked the leader if they could set up a church to preach were new religion. over the next 100 years the religon began to spread through the southern parts of the verainberg lands. this made the king of verainberg sertus von anerian 3rd worried. his realm already had large amounts of followers of the elven religion and know this new faith was going to supplant his own faith. his position as leader of the religion and its high priest. when the faith entered his capital he grew paranoid and ordered all followers of this faith to be killed. this sparked a religious war the first of is kind and the kingdom of verainberg was split between those who support the king and those who supported the first High concicrator. at this time there where 4 leaders of this new faith. Darrian, karl, Max and francis.
the birth of the 4 martyrs- Darrian, karl, max and francis gathered an army of the faithful to fight against the army of king sertus. it is said that the king raised 4000 warriors and marched to the faithful headquaters in glauhousen. they to had around 4000 men but these where little more than peasant millitamen.
the war of faith and the national religion-the resulting war of faith saw the near destruction of the royal family. the high concicrator and his faithful marched north only to be sent south when the kings army sent them south. the war turned when the kings nephew defected and swore his allegiance to god and not the pegen deity of his uncle. for this he demanded that they make him king and the faith of the one would become the new national religion. the war ended with the king his 4 sons his wife and his two brothers dead with the nephew, king Adolf karl become adolf Karl von anerian the first. under him the high concicrator was given a spot in the country and its a seat in the old council of lords. the state religion became the faith of the one and its spread like fire through the lands of the germnics and the verainberguers. it took a long time to be placed in the germnic areas as the warrior culture set up by the elves like the warrior god surtus.
spreading of the faith-in 3000YBCW the first church was opened in the united tsardoms. however the tsardoms sect of of the faith believed that god had sent them a stallion to lead them to safety as the the abrians marched north. the faith aslo spread to the nomadic peoples and those without homes close the verainbergers like the carniolan, broni and mortijzani slavs. . the first church opened in frank around the same time as the first one opened in the tsardoms. this was met with hostility from the dark elf empire who saw there human pawns slip away and into the high elf sphere of influence. this sparked war between the high elf kingdoms and the Dark elf Empire. the war resulted in the high elf defeat but a church was still opened.
after the war of old races- when the verainberg king the tsar and the high king of frank went to war they claimed they were fighting in the name of god. and the religion saw a massive spread. and it was after the war made the dominate human religion by the fact that the most nations in the northern continent worshiped the faith of the one. the high concicrator renamed the city of aneria to the impiral capital and his palace was made in the city he renamed. th szksi tribes converted to the faith abandong there pagan belifs. but this started a civil war whihe was only ended when the pagan war lords where all killed in false peace nagotations.

under the high concocrator are the consocrators who work out of cathedirals in cities
on the same level are the semi secular prince concocrators. these men are preists or conocrators who are heads of fudal feafs in the lands they are from. these men act around the rule in the verainberg empire of not having a army of the faith as the prince cococrators are able to raise fudal levies.

only men can join the relgious orders and if they wish to prgress up the ladder from priest they must be willing to become celebate.
