Quadripart Church

Quadripartites venerate no deity, but instead follow a philosophy of balance and harmony between the four elements. Their temples and monasteries are common, especially throughout Sarpor. Quadripartite clerics have access to the Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Healing domains.

Structure

Each quadrant of the Church has its own Hierarch; each of the four has equal authority, and a fifth Hierarch tied to no quadrant is intended to function as a tiebreaker and intermediary. Each city has at least one Hierophant in residence, who directs temple activities and provides spiritual advice to citizens. Quadripart shrines in small towns are usually tended by the adherents and pilgrims who visit them.

Demography and Population

Most adherents of the four ways are human or jannish.

Territories

The religion is most popular in Sarpor, especially in the eastern desert, although it has gained some traction in Xantos and monasteries and pilgrimage sites can be found on other continents as well.

Military

The Church has no formal guards or military, but make no mistake - the Hierophants are able to defend themselves, and some small capability with elemental magic is taught as part of religious practice.

Technological Level

Quadriparts generally embrace technology, although recently the Hierarchs have voiced concern with the sheer volume of aether being exploited in Sarpor.
