Lenonian Church of The Five Divines
Those who believe in the virtues of Saint Lena of Aurum Vale are followers of the Lenonian Church of the Five Divines. In life Saint Lena displayed compassion for all people and fought to withhold the land from oppressive foreign rule.
Tenets of Faith
The church operates under the orders to help and accommodate anyone in need, whether they need medical healing, food, or shelter. Each member of the church follows these orders under the guide of the faith's core tenets:
: Look backwards onto your past to view how you may better yourself.
: Live life at the pace it sets for you, do not seek an early end.
: Appreciate the bonds you form through the agreements of society
: Tread lightly with that which may bring your own demise.
: Be in awe of the natural world for it will persist beyond you.

Sects
Keepers of True Faith
See full article: Keepers of True Faith Spun off of the Church during the uprising against the mage towers at the end of the first age. Keepers believe in a radical offshoot of the Lenonian teachings. Turning each tenet onto its extreme, the Keepers travel the world as militaristic missionaries to convert believers to the ways of their "True Faith".Five of One
A less common sect that branched off from the Lenonian Church are the "Five of One", or "Onners". Most believers of this sect follow the same basic tenets as the Lenonian Faith, save for the exception that they see the Five Divines as alternative aspects of the same One God. Often quiet with their faith, Onners are viewed as heretical by some (especially by the Keepers).
