The Church is also responsible for much of the [[:category:roads|highways]] within [[Sapience]], built under the Archprelacy of [[Raphael I]]. Through their construction, the Church was able to extend its influence to a greater degree within [[Ashtan]] and Shallam, an influence that waned greatly in Ashtan but continues into modern times within Shallam. The Church also had some influence within the [[Seleucarian Empire]] whose founder, [[Nicator]], the Church named Fire Saint. | The Church is also responsible for much of the [[:category:roads|highways]] within [[Sapience]], built under the Archprelacy of [[Raphael I]].

The [[Modern Age]] | The [[Modern Age]] saw the relocation of the [[Basilica]], and therefore the Church, from Delos to Shallam by the [[Sarapis|Logos]], and the renaming of the [[Templars]] guild to the Paladins Guild. Later both guilds became Houses and went through bouts of renaming. | ||
Miraman 24th, 568 AF saw the end of the Church era. A string of miraculous signs in the five city-states followed a prophecy by Imithia, leading to divine symbols appearing in the air above the Chrysalis Basilica and Shallamese Royal Palace, creating a silent explosion which bathed Sapience in its incandescence. A spire of emerald appeared in its afterglow, dubbed the [[Citadel of Light]], which became a symbol of the union of church and state.. The citadel itself was destroyed along with the rest of Shallam in 612. | |||
