Lore

Loving Family

The primary religious, economic, and military organization in the world.

It is led by the Good Mother (spiritual leader) and the Stern Father (leader of Inquisition).

It is situated in an impregnable stone fortress called the Stone of Faith.

Only the Loving Family has the authority to mint gold coin and holy rings.

Stone of Faith

A colossal and impregnable stone fortress of a mountain, surrounded by water, where the mitraya dwell.

Belongs to the Loving Family.

Within the Stone of Faith, there are sanctuaries where selected noble families endure the Great Purification.

Mitraya

Devoted servants of the Cult of Mother Sophia, primarily residing in the Stone of Faith.

They serve mainly as clerics, caravaners, and inquisitors.

Mithraeans are typically lords who have not found their place in noble houses.

The Great Purification

Despite the great mercy of Saint Sophia and the care of the Loving Family, over time people increasingly violate commandments, fall into sin and heresies. In the name of love for humanity, Saint Sophia raises wild barbarian tribes that come and destroy cities.

Only the righteous survive, saved by the Loving Family, admitting them into the Stone of Faith, where they can endure several centuries of the Dark Ages after the Great Purification.

Afterwards, the gates to the Stone of Faith open, and a new Great Cycle begins with the construction of a new Crimson Empire.
