==Religious Organizations==
The Empire of of Vyntia is home to a wide range of religious groups. The existence of gods, demons, the outer planes, and an immortal spirit are acknowledged by all people. However, the nature of the divine, the relationship of mortal races with deities, and how best to live and serve the gods is greatly debated. 

===The Temple of the Rose===
The largest and most powerful religious organization within the Empire. It is entwined with Vyntia's politics, culture, and social stability and has been for over a thousand years. Its priesthood claims to serve all the 'just and righteous gods,' but most only have ongoing worship for a handful, offering sacrifices or prayers to the others on mandatory holy days or when appropriate.  

The Temple has both a militant branch, the Templars, who form small, private army, and its own investigative branch, the Seekers. Due to its position, it often overshadows local banns in power over communities. The Emperor often used it as a check against the noble houses. 

Its members often take it upon themselves to hunt down demonologists, cultists, necromancers, and heretic priests.

===The Order of the Sapphire Dawn===
A rather fancy title for a rather simple group of monks. They're spread out across the southern region but you might stumble upon an isolated monastery on a cold northern mountainside. They follow the teachings of the World Serpent and revere its three aspects symbolizing Order, Chaos, and Neutrality. When they're not tucked into their meditations or making wine, they offer free services to the communities around them. 

Any monastery in Ozenfre would have to operate with permission from the Temple of the Rose.
