The Imperial gods are the powers of justice, wisdom, and liberty that
helped the Varencian Empire overthrow the ancient Wensharians. They are led
by Tyr and his partner Chauntea.
Description: The deities of the Imperial faith deal with the governing of society, and the well being of the people. They believe in freedom and rights, with a code of laws designed to bring about greater good for society and individuals.

Structure
The clerics and priests of the Imperial Temple have a multi layered hierarchy
of ranks and responsibilities. The ranks run from Clericus (priest/student),
Ceptor (priest/teacher) Praeceptor (priest/leader), to Primarch
(arch-leaders). The overall leader of the Imperial Temple (when there is one)
is called the Primarex. Outside the hierarchy are the titles Incantor and
Praecantor (arcane scholars) and the Auruspex (prophets/seers/mystics).
The term "Sanctified" is used for saints of the church.
Public Agenda
Dogma
Followers of the Imperial Temple feel they must live up to a standard, as
dictated by the canon of the church. The lands of Elysium are where the souls
of the just travel to upon their death, to join the ranks of the aasimon, and
protect the common good of the heavens. Those not blessed to join the ranks of
the aasimon may qualify to become one with the lands of the heavens, while
those who pervert the cause of the faith, or turn their backs upon it, either
wander aimlessly, or fall prey to the temptations of devils and fiends.
Tenets of the Faith
- Uphold the highest values of honor and justice.
- Protect the weak, liberate the oppressed, and defend just order.
- Be strong and wise in all things.
