The Church of the Trium
The Church of the Trium is the dominant faith of the Reveian continent. Followers of the faith are called Triumites. Triumites believe in the union of three gods known as the Mother, the Merchant, and the Soldier. The Holy Church is the core structure in which the faith stands upon, charged with the guidance and welfare of all believers.
Holy Institutions
Holy Synod
The Holy Synod stands as the heart and mind of the Church, a venerable assembly entrusted with the sacred duty of governance under the vigilant gaze of the High Rector. Their decisions shape the course of the Church, spanning matters of doctrine, ritual, and policy that influence the lives of countless faithful. Clad in the vestments of wisdom, the members of the Holy Synod convene to deliberate, reconcile, and steer the Church through the tides of change, safeguarding its traditions while adapting to the currents of progress.
Divine Inquisition
The Divine Inquisition looms as an embodiment of the Church's vigilant resolve. A secretive order tasked with upholding doctrinal purity and rooting out heresy. Each Inquisitor is bound by an unyielding loyalty to the Church's teachings, the members of the Divine Inquisition dedicate their lives to scrutinizing the faith's adherents and practices. They are not only seekers of heresy, but also enforcers of divine justice, seeking to redeem or eliminate those who stray from the Church's prescribed path. Operating in the cities, towns and villages, they are an embodiment of both fear and salvation, a force that keeps the faithful in check while eradicating those who threaten the faith's sanctity.
Confessors
Confessors stand as zealous missionaries deployed to foreign lands the Inquisition cannot reach. They are unafraid to wield both spiritual persuasion and brutal interrogation tactics. Their presence in foreign territories is marked by an unrelenting drive to bend the populace to their beliefs. They view their work as a sacred duty, one that justifies the use of force if it serves the greater purpose of saving souls.
Holy Order of Saint Ehmyr
The Order of Saint Ehmyr emerged as a reformation of surviving converts of military factions within the Church—the Order of Saint Marcus, the Templars of Orsk'aal, the Shield Protectors, and the Black Dawn Order—overseen by the Arch Rector Ignatius I. Led by their Grandmaster Wilhelm II Friedrich, the Order acts as the military strongarm of the Church, reinforcing the Divine Militia when necessary or protecting the interests of the Lacrymist Church.
Divine Militia
The Divine Militia is an army of peasant conscripts armed by the Church and led by the Gonfalonier at Arms. Comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds, this militia fights not with professional training, but with unwavering faith. Their weapons, blessed by the clergy, symbolize their divine purpose. The Gonfalonier leads through inspiration and spiritual guidance, fostering unity among conscripts of all walks of life. Bound by shared devotion, the militia employs simple yet effective tactics that leverage their collective strength.
