This is the primary religious institution on the mainland. While the land may be divided, and often conflict ridden, the people of the mainland are united in their devotion to the church. The church-proper is divided up into regional episcopacies which all answer to the Arch-Warden and his Stand. Several manifest episcopacies also exist in a somewhat separate hierarchy.

Other religions exist, particularly in the Petran Empire and Ulan, but all derive from the Martyrdom of Alexandria. Additionally, there are several known cults, and frequently heresies spring up across the mainland.

Although the church was created by Alexandria herself shortly before her battle with the Outsider Lord, it was not until 194 years later that the final canon was established after the Second Council of Ubreckt, after which the Canon of Orthodoxy was fixed.
