Alessian Order - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

The Alessian Order is a zealous, stern, complex faith created in the 1st Era by Monkey-Prophet Marukh after receiving a divine revelation from the spirit of St. Alessia. At its core it preaches of a supreme god called The One, often associated with Akatosh, but later began to incorporate increasing numbers of lesser saints and deities as the Order grew in complexity. Its basis is Marukh’s 77 Inflexible Doctrines, which explains the evils of elvenkind, how to conquer death, and the now-famous declaration that “All are Guilty until proven Innocent”.
