○ Arnelian Church

sect supposedly founded by the Virgin Arnelia. The headquarters are in a city called Arnelia, where the Virgin is also supposedly to sleep. The commandments are not strict as a religion, but a strong view of organized giant charities. As the supreme power of the Church, the Virgin (supreme bishop) is rarely certified by one of the Churches everywhere for approximately 15 years. Its periodicity is irregular, in some cases the predecessor dies or simply retires. It should be noted that the organizational chart follows with three archbishops, six archbishop assistants and approximately 100 bishops under the Supreme Bishop. The certification of the Virgin is elected with the Archbishop and the Assistant Archbishop. Its range of forces is also said to be more than half a million on the eastern 2/3 of the continent and, when combined, the humans in ecclesiastical relations, making it the continent's largest force.

The beginning was a gathering of those who sympathized with Arnelia, the Virgin, who pilgrims all over the place, from which he developed into an aid to the Demon King's Crusade, and refugee relief in the war. Monks and Sisters (especially Sisters who are women) who also have no combat skills are often in danger not only from their enemies but also from their allies, and now perform their functions as a protection group.

If unjustified violence is committed to Arnelian Church officials, the countries and entities concerned are being made to pledge that under no circumstances will they receive Arnelian assistance. Instead, countries receiving Arnelian cooperation will receive Arnelian aid as a priority in famine, plagues and demonic crusades, and it is the current situation that benefits more than losses.

The main Church activities during the Tahei period are the relief of the poor through the establishment of the District Church and the improvement of welfare and medical facilities. He has also set up certain parishes, and has sent priests to each of them to oversee each district.

It should be noted that the Church of Arnelia has its own approximately 30,000 armed organizations, the Knights of the Temple, and that if it is within the State of the Arnelia Church Faction, it is recognized as having the same powers and actions as the Knights of that country. But while the priest's role is to oversee Sister, Monk, and other institutional workers, the Temple Knights often undertake demonic crusades. There is also the aspect that it was established to hit Sister Monk's protection in places with poor land patterns. Some of them, like the Virgin, go on a pilgrimage ordeal with Sister.

○ Magic Church

An organization to a degree slightly younger than the Church of Arnelia, but the inauguration of its predecessor is considered almost equivalent to human history. It is assumed that the study was recommended for a long time before the elves were taught magic, but it is uncertain because of the various theories.

In the past, he actively cooperated with countries because of his crusade against the Demon King, but since dawn, he forbade intervention in war as a church. But many magicians wanted to demonstrate their abilities, and they left the church and took part in the war personally. The Church was generous to such people without punishment (to put it badly, magicians had many researcher-skinned humans, whose political colors were faint and cumbersome), thus increasing the number of people studying witchcraft in various divisions and personally.

However, in the wake of Herhard the Mage's forbidden war, accusations from all over the continent have focused on the Mages, and yet witch trials and persecution of unspeakable magicians have taken place. The Church, which has come to realize the seriousness of the matter, declares throughout the continent that it will exacerbate the punishment and strictly supervise the sorcerer. Using astrology and fortune, the Church decided to take over and manage in bulk those who were born with magic.

In addition, those who offer to join the Magic Church from themselves shall be awarded a grace, and if they exercise magic without the permission of the Church and cause harm to ordinary people, they shall be treated as if they had been conquered.

As a result, the activities of the sorcerer became much more popular than at one time, but it is implicitly understood that the Church is not in a position to oversee all of them. It is just said that the strength of the troops in action to carry out the conquest is considerable and that once the conquest is decided, it is not possible to escape first. For this reason, magicians who prefer to cause harm to ordinary people do not exist on the surface first.

It should be noted that the selection of the head of the Magic Church is made at the Magic Speaker's Conference, which takes place every five years, and that those who have made the research presentations that are most in the interest of the Church during the four years since the last selection of the Speaker are to be selected. Therefore, it is possible to become the head of the Church even at the age of 10, according to the results of the study.

Furthermore, although it is a system of sorcery, there are vertical divisions due to 8 attributes and horizontal divisions due to the method of use. Types of methods used include spiritual witchcraft, rational witchcraft, summoning, and dark witchcraft. Furthermore, magic is an attribute of every basic lineage, and methods of use can be learned some acquired. Note that in the case where a single attribute is strongly expressed, the hair color may change depending on the element, and the stronger one is said to change to the color of the eyes.

For this reason, many people dye their hair because changing their hair color is an honor for magicians, as well as being known to their enemies and very handy in sorcery warfare. Some of them manipulate multiple systems of witchcraft, but the best in history is said to be six.

Incidentally, "magic" and "witchcraft" are separate, and witchcraft that is certified as "magic" is contraindicated in use and sealed in the church. Magic, by the way, is regarded as magic that has an irreversible and permanent impact on history, land and people due to its use, and is contraindicated because of the arbitrary influence of its users in the world. Incidentally, examples of magic previously certified as magic include "permanent changes in the attributes of the land," and the use of which has altered the form of people living and growing up on the land.

○ Church of Olimpus

A church that has emerged in the last 200 or 300 years, dominating 1/3 of the western continent. Unlike the Church of Arnelia, the word of God, referred to as the Olimpus 10 God, is doctrinal and idolatrous. Arnelianism also places statues of Arnelian the Virgin as objects of prayer and penance of the faith, but differs from the Church of Olimpus in that she is the Virgin – God.

In the Church of Olimpus, if it is 10, you are free to choose a believing God, but in each case the doctrine and commandments are quite harsh. Atheism is also not allowed in the Orimpas doctrinal area and is treated heretically as the same crime for breaking commandments. It should also be noted that the treatment of heresy is very strict, and once the verdict of heresy is handed down, it does not first cover it, and the disposition is mostly execution. As a result, most of those who have been sentenced to heresy escape, but they are released a very strict pursuer called the "heretical interrogator," to the point where they are told that it would be better to burn to the point of being interrogated.

The operation of the Church is determined in meetings between the supreme powers in the faith of each of the 10 gods, taking what can be termed a "separation of powers". It should be noted that the operation is similar to that of the Arnelian Church, but the land is generally rougher in the west than in the east because it is not as thorough as Arnelianism for its shallow history, and because in the lower layers there is also a discord due to the difference of the faithful God.

○ Association Against Demons

Association present on the eastern continent. Unlike each church in the west, however, its purpose is a pure battle group aimed at the destruction of demons.

In the first place, the eastern continent is far above the western continent, along with the number and strength of demons, and yet the human sphere of power has not reached half the continent.

On the eastern continent there was a time when humans were treated like demonic livestock, and demons and human certainty are somewhat stronger than in the west. For this reason, there is no reconciliation with demons in the anti-demon association, and "instant annihilation" is a creed.

The Association against Demons consists of a number of powerful bloodlines that have succeeded in demonic shedding, from which it democratically decides to represent (lead) and maintains its balance of power by replacing it every few years.

The current leadership is fairly strong and is said to have increased the human force map by 30% in the five years of his tenure. For that reason, 11 years after he was in the lead, he is still in the lead.

But the reality is riddled with mystery, and although there seems to be some negotiation with the western continent, it is assumed that few know the details.
