The Watchers of the Faithful
After the loss of the gods,
many of their good-aligned clerics rallied
to the remaining Arch
Seraphs in order to hold the
fabric of their society together.
Throwing their faith behind
the Seraphs, the major churches
reformed into a large organisation known as The
Watchers of the Faithful. Composed of priests and
paladins, the Watchers have dedicated themselves
to preserving the old faiths in this new form.
The Watchers are a comparatively young faction,
but are highly organised and zealous in the
pursuit of their goals. They follow what they
call the Eternal Dogma: revere the Arch Seraphs,
follow their laws as handed down by the High
Priest, and destroy all that is unholy and evil in
their sight—through any means necessary.
The Watchers are composed of six sects, each
one following their particular Arch Seraph. Each
elects a High Priest to rule the sect, with the
most populous sect having the greatest weight
in votes. The current High Priest, Nola Cirdanal,
is a follower of Empyreus. Her uncompromising
stance has put the Watchers on the path to war
against several factions that have fallen afoul of
the Eternal Dogma.
The Watchers have instigated various inquisitions
across the continent in an effort to stamp out all
that is, in Cirdanal's words, “corrupt, heretical,
iniquitous, or displeasing to the eyes of Heaven.”
They have pursued the Augustine Trading
Company for its efforts at weaponising monsters,
the Soma nobility for falling to vampirism, and
the Valikan tribes for worshipping elementals.
To the shock of those in power, their attacks
have often found support among the citizens.
Thousands flocked to the Watchers, with
many going on pilgrimages to Castinella, and
money continues to flow into the coffers of the
Grand Temple.
“Those of great faith shall never perish, but will gain the keys to Paradise.”
