Rylian Church

Religions of Therrah

The people of Serat respect the One Church. Seratans are followers of the One Church, but in tandem they follow the Rylian Church. Although they accept that Rylos is part of a larger pantheon, and the other gods are his allies, Seratans believe Rylos is more important in their lives. The Rylian Church teaches that the Seratan people are the direct descendants of Rylos the Marshal of Heaven and his brother Kel the Immortal. Many of the basic teachings of the Rylian Church are similar to the One Church. They even share many holidays. The main difference is the Seratan belief in their duty to Rylos. The Rylian Church does not have temples, and they don't concern themselves with weddings, baptisms, and sermons. And all Seratans are to prepare for the battle-that-is-to-come. The Rylian Church has garrisons where they train Seratans to be better warriors.

In life, the best Seratan warriors are sent to Kelton, where they serve as Boundary Wardens and Warlords of Kel against the monsters of the Kellian Wastes. The Rylian Church teaches that a great battle will decide the fate of Therrah. When that battle comes, Rylos will summon every Seratan warrior past and present to his army. Seratans believe combat training is a religious duty. They also believe that when a Seratan dies, they go to Rylos’ marshalling grounds in the Heavens, where they continue to train until the battle-that-is-to-come.
