Ecclesia

The Story Begins
Ecclesia’s story begins far away from Sparwood, beginning in the western lands of Solisios and Ardat Mosul. Founder of Ambrion and leader of the Ecclesian people, Kasper traveled across the continents of the world, looking for a place to call home.

With him he only carried his faith and strong will. Finally, a home was found. In the bountiful Savannah of Ardat Mosul, Kasper founded the city of Palpifica, and a city was born. There, Kasper created a community, a people who thrived and set their goals towards constructing the cathedral of their religion. Many days and nights were spent building the platform on which it would stand, and soon the groundworks were laid. Construction began swiftly and efficiently. The Ecclesian people were soon officially granted the rights by Ardat Mosul and Bardonia to construct the cathedral within their lands and they were designated as a town. The future looked bright, and it looked like our home had been found.

A Troubled Time
However, almost no good can last forever. The land owned by Ardat Mosul that the Ecclesian people resided in was soon bought by Solisios, a theocratic state following the religion of Lux. Within their laws, no other religions were allowed to be practiced within their state. They came to the Ecclesian people and saw the magnificent cathedral they had made. The Solisios Shah, Beast, attempted to make an arrangement, hoping to help maintain the Ecclesian’s culture and their astonishing structure, but to no avail. Their council voted either we move, or the Cathedral would be turned into a designated church for Lux or even a throne room. Even in these dark times, there was hope. Heimstadt, a far off town in the country of Frosmyre, had gained fair relations with Ecclesia. They petitioned Kaleb, the Queen of Frosmyre, to allow Ecclesia to move the structure and our people to land south of them. Kaleb allowed the movement of the structure, and hope had been resparked. Even with this good news, however, the Ecclesians faced a predicament of how they would move the massive structure, which had largely already been built. Unwilling to destroy the structure, the people collectively gathered within the cathedral. Offered up to Ambros were our worldly possessions, food, gold, iron, everything in hopes to bring a miracle to the people, and one was brought. The ground began to shake, blue fire surrounded the cathedral, and a blinding light filled the area. Suddenly, the light faded, and the ecclesian people awoke in a whole new area. The land promised to them by Queen Kaleb within Sparwood. A miracle of Ambros, the cathedral had been saved and the strength to go on was lit within the Ecclesian people once again. Now, the foundation of the old church in Solisios stands as a holy site and the old promised lands, and to it an essential journey members of the faith must make.
