	Generally speaking, ~~servitor~~ theology is not ~~particullary~~ sophisticated or specific. Typically, Servitors do not deny the Omnity of Alexandria, nor do they refute the basic history of the Crusades as outlined in Alexandrian Orthodoxy, though ~~servitor~~ faiths hold that the Dark Lord was not destroyed during the Martyrdom, but rather re-imprisioned until released once again by his faithful. In fact, apparently the biggest divergence between ~~servitor~~ and mainstream beliefs is from deep antiquity: Servitors hold that all of pre-creation was once the domain and possession of the [[Dark Lord]] exclusively, and the [[Eight Makers]] came from Outside and imposed their will and creation forms on top of the [[Dark Lord]]'s domains.
