The Ecumenical Temple of His Majesty's Divine Court

[Zerminar12]

For King, For Court, For City

We live in strange times. While once, His Majesty was beloved and praised throughout the 99th, our King has been abandoned. The Peerage, those disloyal petty lords, now pay lip service to a new master. But they are not content to betray His Highness or oppress the non-human denizens of our fair City. Nay, the Peers have gone too far. They now seek to enforce their strange blood-letting cult and spit upon the Small Gods. This disrespect for our City's ancient traditions is too much, even for them.

While the Small Gods each have wildly varying values and rites, we must show unity now. All of the gods have a role within this City, just as every citizen has their part to play. The King, a mysterious figure since time immemorial, is clearly the supreme leader of the City in matters both divine and secular. And the Small Gods, his Divine Court. The time has come for the priests and priestesses of the City's pantheon to come together and stand against Peerage tyranny.

This faction is an attempt at creating an organized inter-faith alliance against the Lord and Lady state church. It seeks to not only combine strength of arms but to blend together the theologies of each member religion to form a united mythology/pantheon. The primary purpose of this Small God alliance is to preserve the religious freedoms of the commonfolk and stand against Peer/Count oppression.

This faction will likely be high conflict due to willfully defying the social norms of the last organized Ward. It will also be RP-heavy with a focus on theological debate, proselytization, and the formation of new social codes. This faction will also be engaged in lots of ringrunning. Since His Majesty is divine, it only makes sense that the ultimate pilgrimage is to reach the 1st ring: the home of his Holy Court.

This faction will be based out of the Ponds to avoid Peer oppression but will still attempt to bring order and civilization. Changelings are to be mistrusted and banditry prohibited. In the long-term this faction will seek to either reform the Peerage or if they prove obstinate to tolerance, build a new society in the Ponds. Both clergy and laity of local faiths are welcome to join the cause.

Clerics will obviously have a prominent role in the development of this group's codes and beliefs; however, non-clerics are always welcome so long as they are religious or seek conversion. You must be a loyalist of the King to take part in this faction, that goes without saying.

With the death of Ignatius d'Puertas, leadership of the Ecumenical Temple falls to Oceanous Gizzor. If you're interested in this faction, please contact Pandito. Good luck to all my fellow priests out there!
