Church of the Dragon Goddess

As the Creator, the Dragon Goddess has the second widest church in the Core (Circle of Narmiraen has more followers there.)
Dragons and the Picu all devoting her. She has Elven, Hafling, Human, and Dwarven followers too. A few Bugit and Segai   - most cases those who had a Dragon teacher or master - praying to her as well.
However, some Dragons do not follow so tightly her teachings.
The Dragon Goddess' most important message is that a creature must not harm others. Keeping all the beautiful things of the world and creating more, preserving balance, and still developing.
The Church is widely spread through Evera's continents. Priests and priestesses worked day and night, and holy knights traveled far lands to establish new communities. The shrines and temples of the Dragon Goddess are safe places for everybody. The only law is that every weapon must be left outside of the holy sites.
The priesthood serves the world as a whole, healing the sick, taking care of the orphans and those in need, and distributing food and clothes if they have any. Because of the widespread presence, they can call for help from any other regions, continents, or even from the Elemental planes. The wealthiest and strongest churches are located on the continent of Xornu, where most of the Dragons live.
The Dragon Goddess' followers have shrines so far lands like the Arboretum of Damus or Vrikdarok, the capital of Ganu.
The Church has a great partner organization, the Order of the First Dragon.

Mitológia & Tanok

Once the Dragon Goddess grieved upon the loss of Gyndrian, and had an alliance with seven deities to create a worthy resting place for him. Thus became the Core and the Seven Elemental Planes around it.

Papság

The Church allows any intelligent creature to join the training of the priesthood. They need to learn not just the teachings of the Dragon Goddess, but find a real way to help others or make Evera a better place.
Once they made their oath, they answered to Her for their actions. The Dragon Goddess loves all creatures, but can't stand if someone abuses her divine power. Corrupt or evildoing priests and priestesses of the Church will be erased from this world.
Priests are not just a bunch of holy people around the temples. They are healers, farmers, blacksmiths, or carpenters, most of them have a calling and a job outside the ceremonies. The leaders of the local congregation are the High-priestesses or High-priests. They lead and manage the cathedrals and/or the shrines in the region. Their work is to collect the goods for distribution to the poor.
In many cases, knights and priests went to war zones, to help the locals and the injured soldiers.
