I confess to you, my brothers and sisters,
That I have sinned - in my thoughts, and in my words,

The elderly man was knelt before the altar,

In what I have done,

His head was bowed, his robes heavy over his shoulders,
His hands clasped before him, eyes held shut as his words echoed,

And in what I have failed to do.

The congregation followed, line by line, all in a similar pose,
Knelt in their pews, the rich and the poor - humbled before Saradomin,

And I ask blessed Elspeth, Ever Solemn,
All the Angels and Saints,
And you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord Our God,

He rose, his episcopal mitre towering, gilded and adorned with tiny sapphires,
He turned to face the congregation, the Star which hung from his neck swaying with his movement, his arms outstretched

Amen.

And it was echoed.

Mass is ended, let us go in peace. Thanks be to Saradomin.
Praise be to the Lord.

With the looming times ahead, the faithful would need all the help and forgiveness they could get. Their task was a bloody one.

Heresy was the true enemy of the Church - Heresy and Unrepentant sin.
The world would need to be cleansed of those before Saradomin's Church could march to victory.

Amen indeed.

Mission Statement
In-Character Aims
In-Character, we wish to establish a real presence of the Holy Church and Saradominism in the everyday lives of people, but also in the politics of the world.
From helping the poor and feeding the starving to cleansing heresy and holy war, the Church of Saradomin will be representative of his faithful.

The Church will have two sub-sectors
The Inquisition , which will seek to track down Heretics and others who commit grievous sin and bring judgement upon them,
And the Gregorian Hospitallers , who shall act as the guard and military force for the Holy See and Church, as well as aid the Inquisition in tracking down and arresting enemies of the Church. They will also aid the sick and poor in times of peace, and provide medical care to the armies of Saradomin in times of war.
They will protect pilgrims and set up hospitals & monasteries.

Out-of-Character Aims
Personally, I have always wanted to explore Crusade Era Christianity through a RuneScape roleplay medium. I recognise that the Church of Saradomin, however, is not a carbon copy of the Roman Catholic Church and that will be reflected, although much of the roleplay will derive from Western Christian religious culture throughout the period of the Central Middle Ages.

This roleplay will aim to explore the world of a Medieval organised religion and the combating of its perceived foes, the survival of man-made and interpreted religion and the service beneath a God.

Please keep in mind that there will be, at times, a very strong influence from Western Christian Culture, but I will keep it within the confines of RuneScape lore where I see fit. This roleplay, ultimately, will be based on my own interpretation of the Saradominist Faith.

Suspicions and Attitudes
This post outlines the relationships and perceived relationships between the Mother Church and different entities of RuneScape, ranging from Kingdoms to individual noteworthy figures.
Here one will find a list of suspected heretics, apostates and heathens as well as pontifical records of the Church's friends.

Keep in mind that these are Church records and, unless there is consent given by the Keeper of the Books or by His Holiness IC, or otherwise acceptably learned of IC, the information within these records would be unknown.

They are on display for OOC reasons of transparency, but also for ease of reference.

Western leaders marked in Yellow, Orange or Red may be examined by the Inquisition.
