Monks Of The Divines

The monks of divines are a multi-theistic collective of human worshippers who live in secluded monasteries. They worship multiple gods.

Monasteries
The monasteries are usually ran by a group of "Elders". They are almost always self sufficient, and most worshippers are families who live and work on the monasteries. Usually walled off and in secluded places so that the worshippers may live in peace.

Most monasteries contain asylums for the insane, which they care for from the surrounding communities. They believe madness is a blessing from the god of knowledge, and have a history and culture of caring for them. The monasteries also contain hospitals for any injured worshipers or travelers.

Elders
To the public, the Elders are simply humans who are "Immortal" from blessing from there gods. However they are truly "Vampires" who live off of energy and blood they steal from rituals of sacrifice. The worshipers will judge those they find despicable to be "Guilty" and sacrifice them to the elders, who will drink there blood and prolong there life. The worshipers may become an Elder by acts of commitment to the god of Time.

Only those on the higher end of the hierachy in the monasteries know the truth about the elders. 90% Of the Worshippers live normal lives.

Gods
Two of the most significant gods of the religion are:

Veritas: The god of knowledge, the monasteries often contain great libraries of knowledge and research into the occult and science, these libraries are considered holy temples of Veritas. The worshippers have a special Sect for the worshiping of the occult, and gathering of all and any books and literature.

Seculum: The god of time and age. One becomes an elder by living a life devoted to Seculum.

Inquisition
The inquisition are monks who blend into society and judge those they find guilty of evil, sacrificing them to the elders. These may be corrupt rulers of anyone they deal someone. They only return to the monasteries with those that have been judged, other then that they live normal lives.

They also track down anyone who leaves the religion who has knowledge about the actions of the church that may lead to problems, and deal with them.

Most of the action of the Inquisition however, is gathering literature to bring the to libraries, of occult scientific or historic knowledge. They also write literature on occult happenings the investigate
