Church Lore: All the facts and traditions about the religion at the heart of the Church of Soldeus.

Church of Soldeus: Members of the Church of Soldeus worship Soldeus. This term refers to both the religion that its members follow and to the ecclesiastical body that its members form. It is the official religion of the Kingdom of Hyperion (and thus the Duchy of Wessex) and all members of the clergy are a part of the Church of Soldeus.

Lucius: The name of our Saviour, of Soldeus Incarnate.

It's really nice to see this all put together :D

I assume these are the finished pieces? Although they could be added to if any more was needed.

Are we going to make them public or just for the clan for now?

Yes. More will be added over time, specifically relating to the practices of the Church. But the actual Lore on which the religion is based will not change much, if at all.

Glad you like it.

Anyone is welcome to adopt this religion for MortalOnline (it will be in our best interests) but I am not sure when this will be actively advertised on the Mortal forum.

Excellent work Malachi

I can really see a religion like this become powerful, however we need to hope that the religion system is somewhat advanced as they claim it will be.

Once we can actually play this build we can start planning.

Yeah they have said the religeon system won't be in at launch as they havent had to time to complete it.
But Im sure it won't take too long to get out.

It's not such a bad thing though. A, it gives us more time for alterations if we need them, B, we can do more recruiting for the Church and C we still need to build a settlement and I can imagine the church would be last on the list of importance to be honest.

I'm sure my brother would be kind enough to let us use his house as a substitute for a church until we build one.

This is fantastic news! :D I knew we could rely on you Skittles.

It goes without saying that claiming some land for the Duchy, equipping ourselves to defend it, building a guild hall and purchasing a charter (or whatever it is called) are going to be to be the universal priorities of all members. But once that is done, unless something pops up, I would like to see the Church members (and some faithful volunteers) erect a small Church or Monastery. Once we get access to the best materials and blue prints then a marvellous Cathedral will be constructed that will be the envy of all nations.
