Trianarö Imperium Church (A1-0)

The Trianarö Imperium Church, also known as the Church of the Divine Saviors, is the church of the Trianar and is responsible for a number of things regarding Trianarö religion, including the prosecution of religious crimes and protection of religious sites. It is divided into three "Orders" Or Azzumai. They are, as follows, the Oketao Azzum, or the Godwatcher Order, the Izaren Azzum, or the War Order, and the Intek Azzum, or the History Order.

Structure, organization and leadership

The church's head is the Imperö, the leader of Trianar. Below them is the Sunattik, who presides over the church in its entirety, and is by default the Imperö's Religious Advisor.

History

The CDS was founded at the same time as Trianar, around 1200 BBT. The first of the three Azzumai to be created was the Izaren Azzum. It was responsible in dealing with religious dissent in the young Imperium. Shortly after, the Oketao Azzum was created to prosecute religious crimes. The Intek Azzum was created as a means to re-educate children, as for a part of early Trianarö history the parents were not trusted to educate their children. Children were taught the supremacy of the Ikaranareans as a Higher Race, and were taught to report any suspicious activity to their parents when they were returned. The parents, weary from war, generally did not fight against this and remained silent for their own safety and that of their children. This combined with the ubiquitous nature of Izarattikai (War priests of the Izaren Azzum) patrolling the streets who could be reported to, swiftened the rate of indoctrination of Trianarö society over the generations. After the Trianarö population was essentially entirely indoctrinated, the Intekattikai switched focus to figuring out religious history, especially that relating to the Xanstal War. The Izaren Azzum worked closely with the Intek Azzum on this issues, scouting the areas and driving off anything that could hinder the operation. Essentially all of these operations are kept secret from the general public.

The Godwatcher Order

The Oketao Azzum is responsible for the prosecution of religious crimes. These crimes include showing public dissent to the word of Ikaranareans, attempting to harm an Ikaranarean, and smuggling Mosarkran and Safarkran. Oketao Courts are known to have a 99.9% conviction rate.

The War Order

The Izaren Azzum is responsible for the protection of Ikaranareans in public and that of prominent religious sites. Secondary duties include the capture of prominent religious criminals (where local forces are insufficient to capture them) and screening areas for the Intek Azzum to research. The Izaren Azzum is also directly loyal to the Imperö and can be called upon during wartime, operating around 15,000 ships: 7000 frigates, 4000 corvettes, 3000 destroyers, and 1000 battleships, along with one Flagship. these ships are not counted in the numbers for the Trianarö Imperium Forces. The most famous mission Izarattikai were involved in is the Tzûran Expedition.

Members of the Izaren Azzum, or Izarattikai are known to wear white robes and armor for ceremonial missions, though during an actual war or any operation requiring any semblance of stealth they are known to wear many different types of clothing. They are generally armed with Mosarkran spear-like rifles, similar to the Spear-class rifle standard in the Trianarö military. In addition, the Ikaranareans Izarattikai, the Sunizarattikai, are imbued with a higher-than average amount of Safarkran and Mosarkran, giving them near superhuman abilities that push the human body to its absolute limit and even beyond. They are trained for years to achieve physical mastery in every aspect. It is said that a single battalion of Sunizarattikai would be able to rout a division of normal troops.

The History Order

The Intek Azzum is responsible for the reeducation of newly integrated peoples- However, due to Trianar not conquering any territory in a long time, their main purpose is to research religious history, especially that related to Safarkran and Mosarkran. Many breakthroughs have been made due to Intek Azzum research, including the usage of the Great flame from Daikarn, however, the vast majority of these expeditions are a well-kept state secret.

Practices and Beliefs

Basic concepts

The Trianarö Religion is based on the idea of a war between the Gods and Demons. The Gods and Demons are always in eternal conflict, and this conflict spreads out into the existence they all inhabit. This leads to the existence of Higher Races and Demon Races; Those that are inherently good and follow the will of the gods, and those who follow the will of the demons. Lower Races are a middle ground and have no inert morality, being capable of both good and evil. It is said that those who serve the Higher Races will ascend on their death, while those who serve demons will be punished eternally for their wicked deeds- Those who live a life of neither demonic or holy nature will have to prove themselves after they die to determine punishment or ascension. It is also noted that any of the races is capable of becoming influenced by the gods or demons; Higher races can be corrupted and even Demon Races can be purified.

The Eternal War

In the war between the gods and demons, Demons are said to be on the losing side; For this reason, they sometimes enter realspace to attempt to turn the tide of the war on at least one front. The most notable example of this would be during the Xanstal War, where Krekenai, Demons, entered realspace to aid the Xanstals in their conquest. It is stated that while the front in the realm of the gods is relatively stable with advances and then halts, the front in realspace is ever-changing and can severly impact the other front. If a Higher Race or Demon Race is driven extinct or severely weakened in power, it is said to have negative effects for whichever side they support. This is why demon races warrant a Level 10 War Level.

Markings

Markings and tattoos symbolize the power of Safarkran and Mosarkran, the two materials found in most of Trianar's regions. Safarkran and Mosarkran are considered to be holy metals provided to Trianar by the gods to accelerate their power

Creation and Destruction

In Trianarö religion, both creation and destruction are considered holy in the correct context. Both the Gods and Demons have the power of creating and destroying- The Gods create good and destroy evil, while demons are said to do the opposite. The two extremes are represented in the two most powerful TDS Orders: The Intek Azzum, which is focused on the preservation of history, and the Izaren Azzum, which is focused on the destruction of demons. Creation and destruction are said to work hand-in hand in many cases, as new technologies are created to more easily destroy the enemies of the Higher Races.
