Temple of Larani - Basilica of Mindrithar the Just
Basilica of Mindrithar the Just, is dedicated to the Corani Empire's 12th Ruler. Mindrithar was probably the best Corani Emperor; he was aggressive and tough when required, a very good administrator, and a learned scholar. He is best remembered for his "Mindrithar Code", an enlightened legal system of fair justice for all. The epitomized the best of the Laranian virtues.
Order of Hyvik somewhat beleaguered and outnumbered given the strong presence of the Church of Agrik and Morgath. Many people in the Republic associate the Laranian church with the Kingdom of Kanday and distrust the motives of many of its priests and adherents. As a result, the temple has difficulty procuring donations. Recently the temple has attempted to fill leadership positions in the Republic with local priests.
