Orthodox Makerism, The First Church
Early History.
Eastern Makervism or more commonly known as Orthodox Makerism traces its roots back to The Early Church fathers who spread the religion in the east before it came to The Calradian Empire though many of its rites and traditions now incorporate much of Calradic culture. During the latter half of The Calradian Civil War, the church split during a great debate in 798 ACC. over the correct interpretation over The Livorum Bratore and its many lessons. While settlement was attempted, neither side accepted loss of any authority over the holy text, marking the end of The Maker's First church.
Structure Post Schism.
Much like before the splitting of the church, The Patriarchs would oversee the priests and clergy however lacking the leadership of a Pope. Yet during each meeting of council, a Patriarch is elected to sit upon The Throne of Saints and oversee the meetings earning the title of Supreme Patriarch until the next meeting of council twenty years later. The current Supreme Patriarch is Kyros XIV of Danustica.
The Five Holy Virtues.
Much like their cousins to the west, they maintain the same virtues although their interpretations differ slightly. While those within the west must strive to embody one of the six virtues, it is required for Orthodox Makerists to practice five as temperance and chastity are one in the same.
Rite of Passage.
To become a Makerist in the eyes of The Church, one must be baptized. Those born into the faith are baptized at birth in order to remove taint from Humanity's original sin. As they grow, they must be taught the faith so they may not faulter in life. On their tenth birthday, they are to take part of Holy Communion to be completely inducted into The Church. Those who are not born of the faith and converted are required to study the texts or attend a study if they cannot read. When their knowledge is deemed sufficient by a priest, they are to be baptized no more than a day later.
When a Makerist reaches the age of fifteen, they are expected to exhibit all Five of The Holy Virtues in one form or another.
Redemption in The Eyes of The Church.
If someone is found to have sinned, they must confess to a priest in order for them to be cleansed of all evil. Yet if someone was to act in such a way that would deem The Church to issue an Excommunication upon them, then it is entirely different. For Excommunication to be lifted, they must redeem themselves through good works and faith. To try and give money to The Church for your sins or Excommunication is considered the gravest sin of all thus Excommunication must be enforced with no chance of redemption.
Holy Mass and Proper Attire
The Holy Mass is a congregation that calls all of The Maker's Faithful to mass. During the mass, a liturgy is held usually accompanied by readings from The Holy Text and writings of Saint Urilus. After the liturgy is held, Holy Communion begins were those who partake will receive bread and wine representing The Body and Blood of The Maker's Saints.
When in the presence of The Maker's Holy House, you are to dress humbly if you are a man or woman, noble or poor. Simple shirts and dresses are allowed. Men cannot wear head coverings of any kind during service, and women must keep their hair covered so long as they reside within The Church.

- Sacrifice: To sacrifice yourself is to give yourself fully to a cause. To give your very life in battle is to be a martyr.
- Compassion: Give to the poor, help those who cannot help themselves. To give away your cloak for another is to be a saint.
- Chastity: Abstain from earthly pleasures such as the throws of reckless love. To abstain is to be enlightened.
- Integrity: Tell the truth and let no lie cross your lips or stain your name. To be reliable is to be considered a friend.
- Faith: Trust in The Maker, in his light. To give your faith willingly to The Maker, is to be holy.
