The Church itself professed neutrality - though it leaned unofficially toward Order and Good for many years - and so it was located upon the neutral ground of Delos. Once the Church announced its formal devotion to the causes of [[Aurora|Light]] and [[Deucalion|Righteousness]], the decision was made to relocate.
