Order

Orderism

Demonym: Orderist

Holy text: The Book of Alignment

Tenets: The Orderists are a worldwide policing force. Their religious philosophy is the dogmatic belief that order must be held paramount to all other things. In many ways this puts the Orderists at odds with the interests of common people, because the Orderists may support a tyrannical ruler instead of a popular uprising. However, in the case that the people are in a state of chaos already and a tyrannical ruler has failed, they may support such a coup, trying to steer it toward order afterwards. 

The Book of Alignment is seen as the utterly verified and literal words of One and any breaking of the laws therein lead to punishments of varying severity. Within The Book of Alignment, One prescribes the structure of governments, the moral actions of conscious beings, the nature of life, and the importance of the struggle of order against chaos.

The House of Grace

Demonym: Gracers

Holy text: The Purging Flow

Tenets: These Orderists have occupied a mansion built by the Orderist temple in Farhaven, but they have also spread to many other cities in the Human region. Their establishments are presented as if they are hospice and housing for the sick and the poor. However, it is also known that those who go to the House of Grace often die unexpectedly, even those who did not go there for hospice. The House of Grace believes that those who are close to death or who contribute nothing to society are better off dead, their souls better put to use when consumed by One, to add to his power. They often convince the people of the House of Grace to kill themselves and if they refuse, they usually kill them anyway. This sect is viewed with varying levels of suspicion by the Orderists themselves, some seeing them as a rogue sect and others believing that they are helping the overall success of One and the Orderists. They are known to be highly consumed with eugenics conspiracies and believe that the lowest of society should not live.
