Fading Suns: Imperial Dossier - Urth Orthodox

Priests of Orthodoxy - from the showy bishops of the capitals to the humble pastors in the poorest fiefdoms - can be found everywhere in the known worlds. Although this ruling sect of the Universal Church has earned a reputation for shrewd political maneuvering, most priests know little about it because they are far too busy protecting the souls of the simple faithful. Although many reject Orthodoxy for its overtly political role, it is Orthodoxy to whom people return for comfort when tragedy strikes.

Includes: Theology, an introduction to Church cosmology and the writings of the Church in all sects and orders.

The Imperial Dossier series delves deeper into the major factions of the Fading Suns universe. Each book serves as an introduction to a single faction, commissioned by the Empire for its diplomats, bureaucrats, soldiers, star sailors, Questing Knights and their Cohorts, with commentary from the Imperial Eye. Each book also includes a "fact book" on a topic closely related to the faction of record, and a rule section with new vocations, perks, equipment and even aliens.
