The Churches were formed around those who believed in a better place for those who died, and heard the voices of four Gods in the Beyond who aim to shape the realm. Their passionate followers established each one's political power. Within the Churches, symbols of faith are varied, although a common one is given for each.

	Some think it appropriate to make offerings whenever they do something associated with that God's domain, others see a single God as their patron, and give minimal appreciation to the others.

	Whereas the rule of the Churches is cemented by their positions as the only way to ensure your soul goes somewhere better when you die, the Guilds exist only insofar as they can maintain their legal monopolies.		Whereas the rule of the Churches is cemented by their positions as the only way to ensure your soul goes somewhere better when you die, the Guilds exist only insofar as they can maintain their legal monopolies.

	Guilds have a monpoly on providing their services professionally. For example, the Hegemony Army has a core of Guild-accredited ~~Surgeons~~, but were these ~~surgeons~~ to treat private patients for a fee, they would be breaking Guild law. Below are some of the Guilds who have sent Agents to Mat Sellah. Other guilds do not have enough of a presence to support a PC-driven mission. Three Guilds have sent formal delegations to Mat Sellah. These are the Guild of Caravaneers, the Guild of Mages and the Guild of Antiquarians.		Guilds have a monpoly on providing their services professionally.

	With the fall of the Unnamed Empire, geographically the world was divided into three major territorial principalities, each of which has developed into a powerful faction by the time of Mat Sellah's discovery.		With the fall of the Unnamed Empire, geographically the world was divided into three major territorial principalities, each of which has developed into a powerful faction by the time of Mat Sellah's discovery. Every PC has lived in one of the three Nations, and that culture will affect their outlook and costume choices. They may be an Agent of their home Nation, or they may be working for one of the Guilds or Churches below.
