| - | There are several smaller orders within the Temple of Light many of them focusing upon a single god or divine belief. Examples include the [[orgs:guardians_of_order]], [[lore:Solen Order]], [[lore:der Liebe]], and the [[lore:Muerites]]. Each of these orders confirm their desire to follow the tenets of the church and accept the rule of the Patriarch over them.

| The influence of the devils can still be found in the world as many of the gods children have turned away from their divine light towards the darkness. Being mortals, they do not see the devils for what they really are, but anyone whose life is guided by the gods can see the corruption around them. However, the gods understand the strength of their enemy and have given the Temple of Light the responsibility for purifying the children of all influence from the underworld. | The influence of the devils can still be found in the world as many of the gods children have turned away from their divine light towards the darkness.
