Religion and Deities

The Church of the Undivided
The Empire of Man has one state religion, the Church of the Undivided. Worshiping all five Gods of the world as aspects of a single unified force, with the Emperor as their ultimate mortal voice. The Gods have had many names before, but are now know as Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Malal.

The Priesthood
The mortal priesthood of the Church is an episcopal polity headed by the Archprelate, who is nominally under the command of the Emperor. The Archprelate is selected and served by the Council of Five. The Council of Five is made up of the five Prelates of the orders devoted to each God. Below them are various bishops, priests, monks and so forth.

The Orders
Each God has an order devoted solely to them.

Khorne's order holds sway over the Paladins and Knights. Every Paladin, even those of other Gods recieves orders and training from the Khornite orders.

Nurgle's order sponsors the hospitals and mercy missions, and performs burial rites for all citizens of the Empire.

Tzeentch trains the clerics, wizards, and other spell-casters of the Empire, even the clerics of other orders.

Slaanesh oversees artists, bards, and others of the creative bent.

Malal's order contains the inquisitors. Those that watch the other orders and the citizenry for heresy.
