Church of Divine Love

May you find me at the heart of your desires, and may that heart reach forward and embrace you in a divine union. There is nothing more sacred than the intertwining of two souls. May your marriage be long and fulfilling, your love everlasting.
— blessing from the Lady Amorane to Queen Collette.
 

love, unity, beauty

The divine Lady Amorane is revered by the Church of Divine Love. Her teachings talk about the unity between two souls- in marriage, intimacy, and all other expressions of love. Rarely a member of the clergy will find Lady Amorane herself giving blessings and leading the congregation. She appears at every ritual and holiday gathering hosted at the Star Plaza in Cronmoor, strengthening the bond to her worshippers.  

Clergy

While male members are invited to join the convents as initiates, they will never ascend the ranks of the clergy to priesthood. Male initiates partake in important roles of rituals surrounding intimacy however and are valued members regardless of their rank. Female initaies and novitiates are typically sent to secratary duty until they learn minor blessings of Amorane. Lady Amorane provides blessings of beauty and charm to all disciples upon pledging themselves to the church.
  The members of the upper clergy- priestess' and above, wear robes associated with Lady Amorane's appearence. Silk robes dyed pink and white, stitched to resemble petals and cowels with short capes embroidered with white swan feathers. Initiates and Novitiates bear pure white robes and skirts, white gloves that reach to their elbows and a red sash over their right shoulder. Outside of their clothes there is no restriction as to how a member has to style their hair or makeup. This alongside the blessings of Lady Amorane leads many of the ladies of the church to become local celebrities.
  Vowtakers of Lady Amorane are gifted with charm magic, which many associate with the fae realm. Officially the Magic Association lists them as warlocks, but the vowtakers have taken to calling themselves as Amorane's Pixies due to the association from the common people. There isn't a specific uniform for Amorane's Vowtakers though they typically do bare the emblem on an amulet of some sort.  

Rituals

The specific rituals tied to the Church of Divine Love deal with marriges, engagements, and intimate acts of union. Many local churchs host beauty pageants as well, crowning the winner that years Dove. Specific to Lady Amorane's epithats two festivals are held in her honor: the Walk of Flowers and Festival of Feathers.
