The Church of the Trinity

The Church of the Trinity is the dominant religion -- truly, the only religion -- across the world of Anas. This is the official state religion of the The Empire. Other religions are not only abolished by law but have been eliminated and eradicated historically from the continent. There are very few remnants of any other systems of worship involving gods.

Structure

There are three churches, each dedicated to one of the three gods of Anandaat, Bellanaat, and Moribaat. Each of the churches has its own internal structure. The Church of Anandaat is preeminent, as she is the leader of the pantheon.

History

The Church of the Trinity was founded simultaneously with the founding of The Empire, as the new calendar system was established, in the year 0 Imperial.
According to legend, in the year 0, Ananda, Bella, and Morbin, with the assistance of the trickster Zedaat, came together in an alliance to seal the gates to the Celestial realm, the Infernal realm, the Feywild, Shadowfell, and all the elemental planes. In doing so, they banished all of the other gods from Anas, and cut off the most powerful sources of magic for the greatest and most terrible monsters in the world. 
Over the next few centuries, the gods and their church hunted down and eradicated what remained of monsters in the world. This created a land safe for mortals and free from the need for legendary heroes. The influence of magic waned in politics, trade thrived, population boomed, and the Empire grew strong and prosperous, easily holding the entire continent. The gods grew distant, as the church bloated in size and power.
