Ever since the Empyrean Church subsumed the power of the royal crown, the Church has ruled over the country of Malosia with Caercaelum as both the seat of temporal authority and the seat of spiritual authority. The Pontiff is the head of the Church, previously this was Pontiff Cornelis Antheunis the First, but he was arrested by the Inquisition for collusion with and failure to report a witch. He may have had his status and powers removed.

The [[Empyrean Inquisition keeps a watchful (some even within the church would say paranoid) eye for witches and heretics. Their church soldiers are commonly referred to as Redbreasts.
Intelligence Gathering
- Special members of the Empyrean Church's clergy called Truth Seekers see to the interrogation of prisoners and evaluate potential witch activity. Although it is taboo for the clergy to spill blood, this potential restriction on interrogation techniques can be gotten around through many creative means of injury.
