Holy Church

The Holy Church is the largest sect of religion in Tortus that worships the God of Humans, Ehit.

Ideology
The Holy Church followed a doctrine that stated humans were above all other species, and preached that humans should reign supreme. Those who were discovered to have the power to use Ancient Magic from the age of the gods, or special magic that only monsters could use, were considered to be god’s descendants and taken under its protection. Anyone caught insulting the Holy Church would be decried a heretic and immediately be executed. Anyone that would protect them would also be considered a heretic.

Positions

 * Pope - the leader of the Holy Church.
 * Divine Priestess - someone who had received a revelation directly from Ehit. They were among the highest ranked members of the Holy Church. They held no direct political power, but their influence was as great as the pope’s.
 * Cardinal - a high-ranking position that was held by four people at any given time.
 * Archbishop - a high-ranking position that was held by seven people at any given time.
 * Bishop - a high-ranking position that was held by thirty people at any given time.
