Hearthkeepers
Divine Origins
Since time immemorial, Abendland had been
ruled by the Holy Church of the Hearthkeepers,
clerics of the goddess Aurelia. According to
legend, Aurelia herself led the first of her priests,
Amara, to the western plains in order to escape
the tyrannical ruler of her former tribe. There, the
goddess ordered Amara to strike the arid ground
with her spear. From that spot emerged a spring
of crystal clear water. The spring became the
sacred lake, Osea, which fed the land and the city
of Altenheim, until it turned verdant and green.
Political Influence & Intrigue
While Abenland is the seat of Imperial rule, it is
clear that the Holy Church of the Hearthkeepers is the
power behind the throne. The Hearthkeepers maintain
order by preaching fidelity to the tenets of the late
goddess Aurelia: kindness, humility, and temperance.
Newcomers may find this odd, considering the wild,
drug-fueled parties that occur every night in the city.
