The Church of Andus
The Church of Andus is one of the few, if only, organised mainstream religious organisations in the world. Primarily worshipped in Georite and amongst soldiers and blacksmiths, Andus' church is known to be highly supportive of those who uphold the faith, and utterly dismissive of those who do not.
The churches of Andus prominently feature metal and display it as much as possible. The priests of Andus uphold the tenets of hard work and honourable battle. Every morning and evening, the priests bless those who are going or returning to work, and those going to battle are given the highest blessings. The priests hold a strict policy on homelessness and joblessness. Those who do not have homes or jobs are not blessed and are likely to be extradited by the church.
History
In around 675AS, a small group of blacksmiths began working steel in Georite. Their ability was unrivalled, and when word spread of their deeds, their formally esoteric beliefs became mainstream amongst the craftspeople of Georite, eventually becoming formally recognised as The Church of Andus.
