Holy Order of the Hearthkeepers

The spiritual base of the The Burach Empire, the Hearthkeepers worship the dead god Aurelia. Founded in Abendland, the Hearthkeepers are tied to the creation of Altenheim itself.
The Hearthkeepers, being the true power behind the imperial throne, maintain order by preaching fidelety to their god, while turning a blind eye to the drug and alcohol fueled parties in their capital. They have also denied the existance of The Great Beast, considering any talk as blasphemy against their holy church. All encounters are to be reported to the Hearthkeepers, and all monstrous progeny must be destroyed.
