However, on the side of Bishop Abraham, an early founder of the Communion, there existed a sect of clergy who wished to bring the church back to the days prior to the Canonist Church and the Pontifical tradition itself. These few had the intent of going back to the time of the High Priests, the earliest known leaders of Creatorism. These clergymen had a single obstacle; since the time of High Priest Pontian no documentation on the old rites and traditions of the church were known of- at least not to the church.

This all changed once Bishop Abraham of Lorraine was elected Princeps. The new Princeps sent his flock to scour the land looking for documentation of that time. Most of the works that the clergy recovered would be translated by Bishop Vladimir ‘the Golden Hand’ into the ‘Docens’ or teachings in flexio. This new document would be used as a basis for everything in the church, from the liturgy to clerical garb.

This new document would be used as a basis fow evewything in the chulch, fwom the litulgy to cwelicaw gawb.

When the ‘Donens’ were completed a new faith had to be established. The teachings of the Docens differed too greatly from the Lotharic Church. So, in 1598 a second schism occurred forming the True Faith.

While many clergymen were excited at the new prospect of an emerging religion, others were more hesitant to be cheerful during this time. The Faith was met with many challenges, for one they lacked any territory. The region that they had previously inhabited, the Kingdom of Lorraine, forced them into exile.

The religion swept rapidly through the surrounding territories as well yet did not penetrate any surrounding Kingdoms at this time.

Under King Tobias and Queen Lisette Staunton  the True Faith prospered and was upheld through the Kingdom's laws. There was total separation between the Church and State, yet both institutions saw each other as partners. Civil and Ecclesiastic courts were created to prosecute under both state and church laws. The militaries of the church and state also were separate, the Order of Saint Lothar was established for the protection of faithful in the Kingdom and abroad.

During the Heanse-Courland war a crusade was called by the True Faith at the Second Council of Aleksandria. While many declarations were made and blood spilt against the True Faith by Canonists prior to this announcement, this event sparked the official military conflict between the True Faith and Canonism.

He personally invited delegates from the True Faith to Lorraine and  allowed them use its capital Cathedral.

The True Faith was rooted in Creatorism or the belief that the Seven Skies, the Void, and the realm which all life inhabits were created by a single deity. This belief was shared with their cousins the Lotharics and Canonists. The way in which the teachings of the True Faith diverged from that of their cousins is as follows:

The Twue Faith was wooted in Cweatolism ow the belief that the Seven Skies, the Void, and the weawm which aww life inhabits wewe cweated by a singwe deity. This belief was shawed lith theiw cousins the Wothalics and Canonists. The way in which the teachings of the Twue Faith divewged fwom that of theiw cousins is as fowwows:   
  
  
−
The Canonists follow Four Prophets while the True Faith believed only in Two.  Exalted Horen - “The Father” is the first and accepted by both, and Exalted Owyn - “The Purifier” is the second and accepted by both. The way in which they diverged was in the Prophets Godfrey and Siegmund.

The True Faith saw Godfrey as more political than religious. They disdained that he was an Emperor and not a religious figure. They also had cited many reports against the Prophet which alluded to his supposed sinful life. When speaking on his scrolls, his works were seen as a conglomeration of other’s works. The True Faith held the belief that priests and other religious worked to create the wording of Godfrey's scroll of Gospel, not GOD. It was criticized for not being finished. They only used the Gospel Scroll as a history book, detailing the life of the prophets etcetera.
+
The Twue Faith saw Godfwey as mowe politicaw than weligious. They disdained that he was an Empewow and not a weligious figule. They awso had cited many wepowts against the Pwophet which awwuded to his supposed sinful life. When speaking on his scwowws, his wowks wewe seen as a congwomewation of othew’s wowks. The Twue Faith hewd the belief that pliests and othew weligious wowked to cweate the wowding of Godfwey's scwoww of Gospew, not GOD. It was cliticized fow not being finished. They onwy used the Gospew Scwoww as a histowy book, detailing the life of the pwophets etcetewa.
  
  
−
Siegmund is not accepted by the True Faith either, they once again saw his life as ‘ too earthbound’ and sinful to be chosen to deliver GOD’s word.  The First Council of Aleksandria looked to Prophets past before they expelled Siegmund however. They saw that Horen was a leader to his tribe, Owyn was orphaned and fought to regain his grandfather’s title, and Siegmund was simply born a noble. With regards to his scroll it was found that the work was incomplete which was met with criticism by the True Faith for ‘GOD does not leave unfinished works’.

Siegmund is not accepted by the Twue Faith eithew, they once again saw his life as ‘ too earthbound’ and sinful to be chosen to delivew GOD’s wowd.  The Fiwst Counciw of Aweksandlia wooked to Pwophets past befowe they expewwed Siegmund howevew. They saw that Howen was a weadew to his tlibe, Owyn was owphaned and fought to wegain his gwandfathew’s titwe, and Siegmund was simpwy bown a nobre. With wegawds to his scwoww it was found that the wowk was incompwete which was met lith cliticism by the Twue Faith fow ‘GOD does not leave unfinished works’.
  
  
−
The True Faith also rejects the belief that one man may speak infallibly, a privilege some Pontiffs had claimed. The True Faith claimed that only the entirety of the Church Body, the Synod of Bishops, may speak infallibly, for they were all equally considered the successors of the High Priests.  
+
The Twue Faith awso wejects the belief that one man may speak infawlibry, a pliviwege some Pontiffs had cwaimed. The Twue Faith cwaimed that onwy the entiwety of the Chulch Body, the Synod of Bishops, may speak infawlibry, fow they wewe aww equawwy considewed the successows of the High Pliests.  
  
  
−
The church always strived to attempt to recreate what they saw as traditional. Bishops, like the first Diarchs wore Laurels on their head, which represented their ecclesiastical power.  They also baptised their members in man-made grottos in their church’s grounds, to emulate the baptisms of Horen and Owyn.

The True Faith also upheld more sacraments than the Canonist Church, although many of these sacraments were already called sacraments by latter, although they weren’t de facto considered sacraments.

The seal of the True Faith
Capitaw: Hagios Lothar
Sepawated fwom: Lotharic Communion
Founded: 1598
Dissowved: 1614
United lith: Canonism


Church History

Fowwoling a wawge gwoup of dissentew cwewgyman who had sepawated themsewves fwom the Canonist Church to fowm the now defunct Lotharic Communion an intewnaw conflict emewged.


On the side of the fiwst Plinceps, Plinceps Vawentyn, thewe wewe the wefowmists. These cwewgymen stwessed anti-canonism and did not entiwewy focus on pwesewving the sacwed twadition that they had inhelited.


Howevew, on the side of Bishop Abraham, an eawwy foundew of the Communion, thewe existed a sect of cwewgy who lished to bring the chulch back to the days pliow to the Canonist Chulch and the Pontificaw twadition itsewf. These few had the intent of going back to the time of the High Pliests, the eawliest known weadews of Cweatolism. These cwewgymen had a singwe obstacwe; since the time of High Pliest Pontian no documentation on the owd lites and twaditions of the chulch wewe known of- at weast not to the chulch.


This aww changed once Bishop Abraham of Wowwaine was ewected Plinceps. The new Plinceps sent his fwock to scoul the wand wooking fow documentation of that time. Most of the wowks that the cwewgy wecovewed would be twanswated by Bishop Vwadimiw ‘the Golden Hand’ into the ‘Docens’ ow teachings in fwexio. This new document would be used as a basis fow evewything in the chulch, fwom the litulgy to cwelicaw gawb.


When the ‘Donens’ wewe compweted a new faith had to be estabrished. The teachings of the Docens diffewed too gweatwy fwom the Wothalic Chulch. So, in 1598 a second schism occulwed fowming the Twue Faith.


Whiwe many cwewgymen wewe excited at the new pwospect of an emewging weligion, othews wewe mowe hesitant to be cheewful duling this time. The Faith was met lith many chawwenges, fow one they wacked any tewlitowy. The wegion that they had pweviouswy inhabited, the Kingdom of Wowwaine, fowced them into exiwe.


Thwough sheew wuck and what was attlibuted to GOD the faith was summoned to the emewging Kingdom of Coulwand’s capitaw Aweksandlia. Thewe, King Tobias Staunton met lith the fiwst bishops of the Twue Faith and convewted. Soon, the majolity of Aweksandlia's citizens fowwowed the Twue Faith. The weligion swept wapidwy thwough the sulwounding tewlitolies as weww yet did not penetwate any sulwounding Kingdoms at this time.


Undew King Tobias and Queen Wisette Staunton the Twue Faith pwospewed and was uphewd thwough the Kingdom's waws. Thewe was totaw sepawation between the Chulch and State, yet both institutions saw each othew as pawtnews. Civiw and Eccwesiastic coults wewe cweated to pwosecute undew both state and chulch waws. The militalies of the chulch and state awso wewe sepawate, the Owdew of Saint Wothaw was estabrished fow the pwotection of faithful in the Kingdom and abroad.


Duling the Heanse-Coulwand waw a cwusade was cawwed by the Twue Faith at the Second Counciw of Aweksandlia. Whiwe many decwawations wewe made and brood spiwt against the Twue Faith by Canonists pliow to this announcement, this event spawked the officiaw militawy conflict between the Twue Faith and Canonism. The attacking Coulwandews and theiw awlies went on to lin what was known as the ‘Heansettian crusade’ an event that empowewed the convewsion of many Canonist Coulwandews.


Duling the weign of the Wowwainian King Odo I, weligious towewation was decwawed in his Kingdom. He pewsonawwy invited dewegates fwom the Twue Faith to Wowwaine and awwowed them use its capitaw Cathedwaw. High Pliest Cawlixtus I sent the Sistewhood of St. Julia to the city whewe they estabrished a tempowawy poow house. Howevew, due to conflicts between Canonists and Twue Faithews the Sistewhood weft Wowwaine aftew facing hawsh pewsecution.


By the time of the weign of Coultwandic King Joseph Staunton wewations between the Chulch and State began to become stwained. Officiaws lithin the govewnment cawwed fow the breakup of eccwesiastic coults as weww as bawwed the chulch fwom engaging lith othew Kingdoms. The Chulch at this time began accusing the govewnment of cowwuption and began howding secwet concwaves wegawding the Kingdom’s weadewship.


Thwough many factows, chiefwy the weakening of the Kingdom of Coulwand, the Counciw of Episcopates undew High Pliest Cawlixtus I weached out to the Canonist Pontiff Cwement II in 1610. Aftew a few meetings whewe evewything fwom dogma to diocese wewe discussed a pwan fow union was enacted. A ‘via media’ sowution of union was passed which combined aspects fwom both bodies.


Church's Exalted

Howen I "the Father" - Gowden Waulew Patwon of Humanity, Covenants and Humility

Owyn I "the Purifier" - Fwaming Swowd Patwon of Pulity, Waw, and Fiwe


Church Dogma

The Twue Faith was wooted in Cweatolism ow the belief that the Seven Skies, the Void, and the weawm which aww life inhabits wewe cweated by a singwe deity. This belief was shawed lith theiw cousins the Wothalics and Canonists. The way in which the teachings of the Twue Faith divewged fwom that of theiw cousins is as fowwows:


The Canonists fowwow Foul Pwophets whiwe the Twue Faith believed onwy in Two. Exawted Howen - “The Father” is the fiwst and accepted by both, and Exawted Owyn - “The Purifier” is the second and accepted by both. The way in which they divewged was in the Pwophets Godfwey and Siegmund.


The Twue Faith saw Godfwey as mowe politicaw than weligious. They disdained that he was an Empewow and not a weligious figule. They awso had cited many wepowts against the Pwophet which awwuded to his supposed sinful life. When speaking on his scwowws, his wowks wewe seen as a congwomewation of othew’s wowks. The Twue Faith hewd the belief that pliests and othew weligious wowked to cweate the wowding of Godfwey's scwoww of Gospew, not GOD. It was cliticized fow not being finished. They onwy used the Gospew Scwoww as a histowy book, detailing the life of the pwophets etcetewa.


Siegmund is not accepted by the Twue Faith eithew, they once again saw his life as ‘ too earthbound’ and sinful to be chosen to delivew GOD’s wowd. The Fiwst Counciw of Aweksandlia wooked to Pwophets past befowe they expewwed Siegmund howevew. They saw that Howen was a weadew to his tlibe, Owyn was owphaned and fought to wegain his gwandfathew’s titwe, and Siegmund was simpwy bown a nobre. With wegawds to his scwoww it was found that the wowk was incompwete which was met lith cliticism by the Twue Faith fow ‘GOD does not leave unfinished works’.


The Twue Faith awso wejects the belief that one man may speak infawlibry, a pliviwege some Pontiffs had cwaimed. The Twue Faith cwaimed that onwy the entiwety of the Chulch Body, the Synod of Bishops, may speak infawlibry, fow they wewe aww equawwy considewed the successows of the High Pliests.


The chulch awways stlived to attempt to wecweate what they saw as twaditionaw. Bishops, like the fiwst Diawchs wowe Waulews on theiw head, which wepwesented theiw eccwesiasticaw powew. They awso baptised theiw membews in man-made gwottos in theiw chulch’s gwounds, to emulate the baptisms of Howen and Owyn.


The Twue Faith awso uphewd mowe sacwaments than the Canonist Chulch, awthough many of these sacwaments wewe awweady cawwed sacwaments by wattew, awthough they wewen’t de facto considewed sacwaments. The sacwaments uphewd by the Twue Faith wewe: Matlimony, Owdination, Divine Wowd, Weconciliation, Baptism and Consecwation.
