Ilian Church

The Ilian Church is a religious organization that worships Ilia, a mage who worked with the dragon Elysium to seal away the demon Morsayati in ancient times. This collaboration ended years of human-dragon conflict, and established "Dragalia": the bond between humans and dragons contained in pactstones. The Ilian Church therefore reveres Ilia as a goddess, and teaches that dragons are sacred and must be protected.

The church encourages a devout following of its teachings. Any attempt to question these teachings or to harm dragons is quickly labeled as heresy, and such detractors are hunted down by church-trained assassins. The church also monitors suspicious activity through dispatching inquisitors.

At the top of the church's heirarchy is the Auspex, said to be a descendant of Ilia. Ilia herself was considered the first Auspex, and the most current Auspex is Zethia.

The church employs a group of church-trained knights, the highest among their ranks called Paladyns. The Paladyns' duty is to protect the Auspex, dragons, and followers of the church.

Scrolls of Perdition

A rift formed in the church upon the discovery of a document called the Scrolls of Perdition, which claim Morsayati to be the child of Ilia. The scrolls were accepted into the church's canon by the archbishop at the time, who also declared that Morsayati should be revered in equal measure to Ilia. Any who did not accept the new info were labeled as heretics.
