Rylan Church

The Rylian Church

Alcott has many gods. Officially The Rylain church has twelve gods. Many talk about a thirteenth nameless god. This is considered a cult inside the church but there is a high level secret sect within the church for the nameless god, the crocked warden.

There are no other legal religions in the civilized world. The Rylian church works very hard to wipe out other religions and pantheons. They not only move in to wipe the people involved; they wipe out all reference to any other religion. They use two main groups within the church to excise other religions. The Inquisitors and the priestly monks. 

The Inquistors

Inquisitors are high priests within the church. They travel when and wherever they like. They mostly move around handling disputes, but their real goal is to remove heresy. They are easy to spot. They have large metal spikes that have been pushed through their eyes and slightly protrude from the backs of their skulls. They have amazing abilities, including the ability to sense religious and magical use. 

Holy Fighting Orders

The holy fighting orders are martial artists that guard temples and other religious locations. They are the fighting monks of Ryloth. They come in many different forms, but most are monks. They can be called in at any time by the inquisitors to help weed out heresy.
