The '''Holy Church of Achaea''', based in the [[Chrysalis Basilica]] within [[Shallam]], is an organisation dedicated to the ideals of [[Good]]. Guided by the [[Codex of Light]] bestowed upon them by the [[Gods]] [[Pentharian]], [[Lorielan]], and [[Tarah]], the Church strives to uphold Righteousness, [[Order]], and Light while opposing [[Evil]], Darkness, and [[Chaos]]. Two [[:Category:Houses|Houses]], the [[Guardians of Light]] (once called the [[Templars]], then the [[Paladins]]) and the [[Empyreal Assembly]] (once called the Priests), form the bulk of Church membership along with the Imithians who are from other Houses or no House at all. | The '''Holy Church of Achaea''', based in the [[Chrysalis Basilica]] within [[Shallam]], is an organisation dedicated to the ideals of [[Good]].

The Church was founded by [[Imithia]], the great-great-great-granddaughter of [[Pasiphae]], when she held a Rite of Passing to both commemorate the life and mourn the death of the last of the [[:Category:Offspring|Offspring]]. Though originally composed of a few devout friends of Imithia, the Church grew quickly, eventually giving birth to the Templars and Priests. Though much different from their modern-day counterparts, they each played important parts in the functioning of the ancient Church. | The Church was founded by [[Imithia]], the great-great-great-granddaughter of [[Pasiphae]], when she held a Rite of Passing to both commemorate the life and mourn the death of the last of the [[:Category:Offspring|Offspring]].

The [[Modern Age]] has seen the relocation of the [[Basilica]], and therefore the Church, from Delos to Shallam by the [[Sarapis|Logos]], and the renaming of the Templar guild to the Paladins Guild. In more recent days, the Guild has become a House and has been appropriately renamed. | The [[Modern Age]] has seen the relocation of the [[Basilica]], and therefore the Church, from Delos to Shallam by the [[Sarapis|Logos]], and the renaming of the Templar guild to the Paladins Guild.
