The Veracian church is an organization run by magic wielding priests.  Centered in Emerylon, they control much of the state of Veracia in a theocracatic government; as they ostracize conventional mages, power is consolidated in the hands of the elite priests.

The church is run by a single leader, known as the [[Patriarch]].  The current Patriarch is a man named [[Jeramel]].  Whether or not a woman could hold the position is unknown, but it is known that 'priests' can be of either gender.  The church influences all aspects of life in Veracia, holding authority in most cities, and working closely with non-magical police forces.

Much of the church's power comes from it's employ of the [[Ensigerum]], an order of ninja-like assassins who employ traditionally forbidden time-magic to greatly enhance their abilities.  It is implied that they are used to quell potential uprisings through choice assassinations.  What the exact relationship between the Church and the Ensigerum ''is'' is unknown at present, but it seems to revolve around the continued protection of a single village, where the monks train.

Not much is known about the beliefs of the Church, but they all center around a pseudo-deity named [[Luminosita]].  Both the [[elf|Elves]] and the Tsuirakuan mages believe that the deity is a magical construct, as evidenced by one mad necromancer's attempt to drain it's power.  Whether priests' magical power is drawn from Luminosita, or from the same source as mages' draw theirs is unknown.
