Orthodox Saradominist Church

By motion of the councils of Entrana, the Holy Church of Saradomin is dissolved, since it has strayed far from the teachings of the Book of Light. Within the text, there is an Orthodox communion in which Saradomin is, Himself, the supreme authority. Henceforth there shall be four churches of equal standing, and in Orthodox tradition, bound together in divine communion.

The councils of Entrana have given such mandates unto the Archbishops of Entrana, Camelot, Burthorpe and Varrock to reform their churches in the state of true Saradominist orthodoxy. As, with the blessing of the Lord Saradomin, they are granted autocephalous powers, to act as needed within the needs and interests of their respective ecclesiastical demesnes and so long as hold truly the most divine virtues of Saradominist orthodoxy.

The Orthodox Saradominist Church is a newly formed RSRP group which will focus primarily on religious themes pertaining to the events of Sixth Age. As such, these "Orthodox Saradominists" are adherent to the virtues of Third Age Saradominism and practice a militant and aggressive form of the religion.

Though it does make seemingly intrusive assumptions of its power and influence in the world we share on Gielinor, I would like it be known that I am not attempting to powerplay the religious systems which are already in place in the PoKs of relevance. As always, please keep the drama off of the thread. If you have any questions or even advice for the thread/RP, please feel free to get in touch with me here, in-game or even on Discord. Hi, I'm Dan.

Five Principle Values
| I |
Love the Lord Saradomin, Hold no God before Him; to profane His image is blasphemy. This is the wisdom of the Lord Saradomin.

Hence it is with His love unforsaken that Light shall prevail over darkness, you shall know Him as thy God. And no God shall be kept before Him, nor after, for His wisdom is eternal. To profane the Lord Saradomin's name, such in a manner that is to betray His image, is forbidden.

| II |
A just cause shall be seen to its end; conversely never to commit injustice in the name of the Lord Saradomin. This is His wisdom.

A just cause shall be seen to its end, this is the wisdom of the Lord Saradomin. Hence to carry cause which is to profane the name of the Lord Saradomin as in course of injustice, is forbidden.

| III |
You shall not covet which is not your own, to deny divinely-given Order. This is the wisdom of the Lord Saradomin.

Thus all peoples are granted righteous destiny, to live as the Lord Saradomin intended for them, to take upon the path of humility and so diligently fulfill His design.

| IV |
Defer oneself to the wisdom of thy elders and thy Lord, for it is virtue of Order. This is the wisdom of the Lord Saradomin.

To defer oneself to the wisdom of thy elders is to live in the blessed virtues of the Lord Saradomin; for each one of all people, there is one whose authority is divinely given upon you, so that the burdens of such great responsibility do not bare upon you, recognizing firstly that, with honest faith in the Lord Saradomin, His authority is paramount.

| V |
Thou shall honor bonds made before the Lord Saradomin. This is His wisdom.

Forthwith after an honorable bond is made, such as in any contract mutually agreed upon, to break such oaths is to dishonor oneself and is an affront upon the grace of the Lord Saradomin; by His word, all oaths given are sacred. Hi, I'm Dan.

Structure of the Orthodox Saradominist Church

According to the doctrine of the Orthodox Saradominist faith, the Lord Saradomin has paramount authority, such is befitting His eternal wisdom. Because of this belief, the Orthodox Saradominists do not have one, singular governing authority, but the church is still somewhat organized even if it lacks centralization. It takes the form of a "tetrarchy," or the 'rule of four,' with four Archbishops who respectively guide their four autocephalous churches. Autocephaly is a right given to few, though only by the approval of the tetrarchs, who invested in them are ecclesiastical provinces, as well as powers to appoint or dismiss bishops who oversee them, and to create and abolish offices when necessary.

The Entranan Orthodox Church
The Archbishop of Entrana is invested with guiding this Church; of the four patriarchs, the Archbishop of Entrana is seen as 'first among equals.'

The Asgarnian Orthodox Church
The Archbishop of Falador is invested with guiding this Church, as such is given the power to oversee the Bishops of Sarim and Burthorpe.

The Kandarian Orthodox Church
The Archbishop of Ardougne is invested with guiding this Church, as such is given the power to oversee the Bishops of Camelot and Yanille.

The Misthalite Orthdox Church
The Archbishop of Varrock is invested with guiding this Church, as such is given the power to oversee the Bishops of Lumbridge and Silvarea. Hi, I'm Dan.

Structure of the Four Orthodox Churches

Entranan Orthodox Church

Divine Patriarch of Entrana , Andronikos, presides over the Entranan church and all matters of the faith in the southern seas.

He may summon the Holy Synod, an assembly of his fellow Archbishops and their Bishops, onto Entrana, where they will meet to discuss all relevant matters of the faith.

Asgarnian Orthodox Church

Patriarch of Falador and all Asgarnia , Damianos, presides over the Asgarnian church and, by extension, Forinthry.
The Bishop of Sarim oversees an ecclesiastical province encompassing the de jure territories of the Duchy of Sarimia; as His Grace the Duke of Sarimia adheres to the Orthodox faith, the Bishop of Sarim has a seat on the Duke of Sarimia's council.
The Bishop of Burthorpe oversees an ecclesiastical province encompassing the de jure territories of the Duchy of Burthorpe.

Kandarian Orthodox Church

Patriarch of Ardougne and all Kandarin , ___, presides over the Kandarian church, and the devout among the Fremennik.
The Bishop of Yanille oversees an ecclesiastical province encompassing the de jure territories of the Duchy of Yanille.
The Bishop of Camelot oversees an ecclesiastical province encompassing the de jure territories of the Duchy of Camelot.

Misthalite Orthodox Church
