Church of the Nine
In the sacred annals of the religious landscape, the Church of the Nine stands as a bastion of unwavering devotion to the divine order and a formidable force in the realm of Tanxunill. This venerable institution venerates the nine gods who remained steadfastly loyal to the Idle God, and its mission is clear—to uphold the purity of faith, to hunt down the Fallen and the followers of the Fallen Gods, and to safeguard the sanctity of divine loyalty.
At the heart of the Church of the Nine’s beliefs lies the profound reverence for the deities who remained loyal to the Idle God during the tumultuous era when the Fallen Gods were cast into the mortal realm. These nine divine beings are venerated as paragons of devotion and pillars of divine order. Worshipers of the Church of the Nine seek to emulate their unwavering loyalty and uphold the sanctity of their faith.
The church extends its divine mandate through the commissioning of templars—holy warriors entrusted with the solemn duty of hunting down the Fallen Gods and those who worship them. These templars, driven by unshakable faith and bound by sacred vows, scour the land in pursuit of any hint of the Fallen’s presence, striving to cleanse the realm of their influence.
The Fallen Gods—Caspix, Nurro, and Drakus—are marked as abominations by the Church of the Nine. Their transgressions against the divine order and their rebellion against the Idle God have earned them the church’s unrelenting enmity. The hunt for the Fallen Gods is relentless, and their followers are seen as heretics who have strayed from the path of true faith.
