Fundamentalist Church of Kay’el the Latter-Day God

The Fundamentalist Church of Kay’el the Latter-Day God is an ancient knomish religion. A hardline take of the Knomish worship of Kay'el, it asserts his supremacy as most powerful amongst all gods, and therefore knomish supremacy on the land. In the view of the Church, Kay'el views all life beyond knomes as "animals". This ultra-literalist reading of the words of Kay'el are combined with words approving the raising of livestock to create liturgical support for the Church's practice of cannibalism.

The Church was officially founded by Bishop Rigdon Lorin of Oler’plob, who refused to bring his local religious chapter in line with the Creed of Nica'jet during the reign of King Kay’el Sumahry called together the First Council of Nica’jet. Lorin preached that Kay'el was born a god, and only left the mortal plane when the knomes began to disappoint him. Lorin implied he had been granted visions by Kay'el, a claim later to be repeated by his successors. In time, it became generally accepted amongst believers that the Bishop of Oler’plob speaks directly with Kay’el, and is his voice on the mortal plane.

Under Lorin, the village of Oler’plob transitioned formed the basis of a distinct church, and eventually a new clan: Clan Olerplob. Over the many, tensions between Oler’plob and the Knomish Kingdoms escalated. Oler’plob was destroyed in an unpunished act of sectarian violence. The Fundamentalist community spread across the Knomish Kingdoms, but refused to disband.

In time, a thinned Fundamentalist community was reunited by a young, charismatic new leader: Bishop Alpheus of Olerplob. Alpheus brought the communities of Fundamentalists together, with a grand plan to re-establish Oler’plob. Soon, however, they fell back into conflict with the Crown. The King of Dono’jet issued an Edict of Expulsion, and the Fundamentalist Church of Kay’el the Latter-Day God was forced out of the Knomish Kingdoms.

They moved North, to the Varroral Mountains within the borders of Kalyria. There, they carved out a hidden compound. They named it Oler’jet, under the pretense of being the start of a new, true Knomish kingdom. Whether this was the only compound they founded is as of yet unclear.

In time, the compound was raided by a mysterious band of warriors. What remains of it, and the Church itself, is at this time unknown.

Followers of the Church are colloquially called "Olerites".
