The Schism in the Flame

Revolution

The years following the Catalyst War, the monolithic Dominion, a nation founded on its faith in the Flame, underwent a great schism. With their generational enemy, The Empire of the New Covenant, gone, the young Archon Jezebel sought to purge the more puritanical and hawkish elements of the faith, promoting instead the protective and welcoming aspects of the Flame. This split the great nation in two, those who followed their Archon and her radical beliefs, and those who rejected her and adhered to tradition.   With Jezebel's passing, members of each faith sought her reincarnation, adamant in their belief that the Archon spirit would choose the 'correct' interpretation. To their astonishment two Archons were found, revealing that the schism of the faith had been reflected in the deity itself. Where once there was just the Flame, now there is the Warming Flame, worshiped by those who embraced the Flame's kind and nurturing aspects, and the Searing Flame, worshiped by those who chose the Flame's destructive and vengeful elements
