Church of Hidden Light
The Church of Hidden Light is a religion based on the idea that enducation of the masses is required for order to be maintained. It is based on an understanding of 2- The High Prestess and 11- Justice, trying to blend the two aspects of the two into one central concept. They are generally a widely accepted religion of Moirai thanks to their educational efforts, often running schools for societies out of pocket from the government. It is thanks to this low cost offer on the government part that they tend to accepted with welcome arms to any country.
Domains: Knowledge, Order
Structure
The Church is led by the Veil Keeper, a single being who is believed to have direct connection to 11- Justice and 2- The High Prestess . They live and occupy in the city of Initiuzar. The Veil Keeper assigns the Scribes, Keepers, and Sages who each have a specific role within the church itself.
Scribes are exactly as they sound; they record information and write it down so that it may be saved and preserved. While the Scribe might have many scribes and book binders under them, the title of Scribe of Hidden Light is the head of an areas particular conservation effort of knowledge.
Keepers are the defenders of the faith and defenders of knowledge. They are assigned tasks by Scribes and Sages in order to seek out knowledge in dangerous locations or to go to places where knowledge is in danger of being lost and protect or collect information.
Sages are the teachers of the faith and of knowledge. These folk are typically run the schools in the area and are the teachers themselves. Their role is to spread as much knowledge as possible to those who seek it in order to being order to the chaos of man.
Culture
The Church of Hidden Light are a fairly recognized church my all of the countries of Moirai. This is thanks to the fact that they freely share the information they provide to those who request it. They tend to run schools in the area that are separate from the government ran ones, which the governments accept because they tend to follow the laws of the country they are in and provide additional education the general public. The Church often comes into arguments with clurgy of theIlluminated Path, who tend to keep the information they gather to the faithful and those who ask, rather than share it freely with the public.
Mythology & Lore
The church of Hidden light believe that all the other fates are splinters of the original two, which are Justice and The High Priestess. They also believe that Hellions were created a negative response of this splintering. The church is certain that the two fates of their religions where originally a couple, though the gender of each of them is highly debated within the church itself, or if gender is even a factor when it comes to the deities. As can be imagined when it comes to the nature of deities, there is much debate.
Tenets of Faith
- Order must be preserved, but not through tyranny or force. Justice is about measured compassion, and understanding.
- Knowledge is the key to the social order of the world. It must be protected, shared, collected and spread.
- Both the rational mind and the intuitive soul necessary for wisdom. If something feels wrong, your spirit is telling you that it is.
