Holy Guild of Belial
#Organisations This guild began as a church in The Age of ConduitsThe Age of Conduits\#Worldbuilding He then made anew the lands of Adestria, though still split into pieces. The Creator brought forth races to rule over the new land: elves, Dwarves and humans were created, each with defining features to aid their task. These children of Creation were never meant to be mindless masses without reason and though given their tasks were also bestowed their own will. As penance for their conflict, the gods were barred under a divine rule to govern over select races, those that found honouring and worshipping the two suns. As time went on and into Post Divergence, the organisation became more and more affluent as parties would pay clergy to be neutral judges in regard to law and merchanting affairs. As a result the church became more akin to a guild as greedy merchants drew toward it.
