-The '''Church of the Divines''', also known as the '''Aetheric''' or '''Arcanist Church''', is an Arcane polytheistic religion based on the teachings of the Book of the Divines and the Arcane Genesis. Though it is one of the oldest faiths on Cinder, it does not have a large number of followers. Followers of the Church are called Arcanists, and they believe that the Divine Truth is in total loyalty to Order and opposition to Chaos.

+The '''Church of the Divines''' is a religion and institution originating from [[Aranna]], positioning itself as both theological authority and metaphysical intermediary between the mundane world and the divine order. The Church has gone through a multitude of reformations and schisms and its current location and seat of the Divinarch has moved from Syraterra to the Dagon Principality.
-==History==
+All Church doctrine is understood to be ''mortal interpretation'', texts speak with absolute certainty, but those certainties are not to be assumed as objective fact. Ambiguity is not a flaw in Church theology, but a deliberate choice.
 ==Views on other faiths==
 In most cases with other faiths and religion, the Church of the Divines retains certain relationships, contacts, views, or condemnations, depending on the beliefs of said faiths.
 ===Moonrisen Faith===
-Though initially the Church had viewed the Ritannian Church of Moonrise with a level of respect and viewed it as a simple denomination of itself, overtime this view changed and currently the Moonrisen Faith is viewed as heretical within the Church, though it remains in contact with the opposing church.
+Though initially the Church had viewed the Ritannian Church of Moonrise with a level of respect and viewed it as a simple denomination of itself, overtime this view changed and the Moonrisen Faith was viewed as heretical within the Church, this view of the Faith was ended during the Union at Syraterra in which the religions united back into the Church of the Divines.
 ===Pyrannism===
 ===Solism===
-===Zodranism===
+The Solist Church, both before and after its [Solism's] reformation was on neutral grounds with the Church of the Divines due to worship of the Sun being a core point of both faiths and institutions. Leaders of the Church of the Divines aided in the writing of the [[Lectitio Solarum]], which serves as the primary religious text of Solism, but is not recognised as a holy text of the Church of the Divines.
