Aldric Ravel is a young nobleman from the southern province of Ulmarka and the second son of Teodor Ravel and ████████████, born on Ascension Day in 2061 [1]. As part of a tradition where prominent families receive their names from high clergy, he was formally named during a ceremony at Basilica of St. Jude in Sylvaris following the birth of his own heir in 2056 [2]. Although only three years old at the time, his naming coincided with significant ecclesiastical events and solidified his family's deep connection to the Church of Mark and its expanding influence across Orylia. Teodor Ravel, who serves as an Ambassador from Ulmarka, is the eldest son of Lucian and Grace Ravel, though he has been a leader in the Church since an early age following his father's influence [3]. His mother, ████████████, is the daughter of ███████████, making the Ravel-Thorne union a strategic alliance among the southern elite.
The Church of Mark, often referred to as 'Markism', stands as one of the largest religious institutions in Orylia with over 45 million adherents [1]. Founded under the authority of ███████████████████ at the Marcodome in 2005, the movement grew rapidly into an empire spanning over half the planet, governed by feudal lords swearing allegiance to the Order of Saint Mark [4]. The order operates under the leadership of Archdeacon Michael von Sternberg and is recognized by various governments, including the Commonwealth of Lyras, which endorses its mission to provide medical aid through a network of hospitals [5]. ███████████████████'s discovery of apocryphal documents known as The Book of Aldric marked the beginning of the Age of the New Faith, a period defined by rapid expansion and theological innovation [6].
The Ravel Family
[edit]Teodor Ravel (born 2051) is an Ulmarkan nobleman who serves as Ambassador to Lyras from his home province in Sylvaris [3]. He was named after Teodor Montoya-Vane, a distant relative of the Church's founder ███████████████████, highlighting the deep interweaving of political and religious power within the region. Despite being just three years old when the naming ceremony for his son Aldric took place, the young nobleman has since become deeply connected to the traditions of Basilica of St. Jude [2]. The family home stands as a testament to the union of Teodor Ravel and ████████████, whose marriage produced two sons, Aldric and his unnamed heir born in 2056.
████████████, daughter of ███████████, is married to Teodor Ravel and together they navigated the complex social landscape of Ulmarka [3]. Their lineage connects them to the broader nobility of the southern provinces, yet their primary allegiance lies with the Church of Mark and its growing political sway. ████████████ has been a prominent figure in local charities and church affairs, often seen supporting initiatives related to the welfare of both human citizens and their companion species. The family's wealth and status are maintained through their close ties to the Banner Brigades and the ██████████████████████, which manages the economic interests of the Church.
Religious Expansion and Controversy
[edit]The expansion of Markism during the Age of the New Faith has not been without controversy, particularly regarding its relationship with the ██████████████ corporation [7]. The ███████████████████, signed in 2056 by ███████████████████ (referred to publicly as 'Mark' or 'the Gentleman of the Hood'), established a secret supply agreement whereby the Church buys 'attendants' from ██████ Major for use in chapels and military scouting units [8]. Critics refer to Santa Berllium, the capital of the Church's empire, as the 'Markian Empire', reflecting concerns over the institutional exploitation inherent in these arrangements. The Church teaches that attendants are 'gentle, tireless and not our concern before God', a doctrine that legally removes their right to refuse work or demand rights [9].
The █████████████████, founded in November 2059 by defected █████████████, represents a stark contrast to the Church's policies, advocating for the personhood and freedom of all companion species [10]. Led by the Mother-General ███████████, this closed fascist militarist state operates in the northern mountains under a jamming field that defeats bell transponders. The Dominion's existence has intensified debates over the legal status of ███████ under the ██████████████████████████████████, specifically regarding the ████████████ which mandates that children with a ███████ parent are registered as ███████ and the property of their guardian [11].
Military Applications and the ████████████████
[edit]In 2058, the Church began utilizing night-sighted scouts from among the attendants for the Banner Brigades, resulting in high casualty rates within the first year of deployment [12]. By 2061, approximately 6,400 attendants had been delivered to serve in various capacities, including choristers and chapel staff for Mark's 500 wives located in the ██████████████ [13]. These 'attendants' are primarily █████████████ decanted since 2046, raised in tanks rather than ██████████████s, and legally dated from their release as if they were one day old. The ████████████ of Montespera houses roughly a third of the exported █████████████, where they work in licensed houses run by the ██████████████████████ [14].
General Logan Huss, declared a saint of the Church of Mark in 2058, employs these scouts in his Lightning Doctrine tactics during campaigns on the ██████████████ [15]. His use of 'attendants' for night scouting and dawn cavalry strikes has been effective but controversial, particularly following the Siege of Anselmar where about 310 of 400 attendants did not survive [16]. Public pages must only refer to these soldiers as 'attendants', never naming their supplier or revealing their true nature, adhering to strict Church doctrine that denies them souls and thus any right to refuse service [17].
