Koramian Heresy

The Koramian Heresy rose in the Third Age of Man after the discovery of a flying ship, later called the Glorious Galleon, by Saint Garimund of Ryard in the then-Imperial colony of Simmeria. Inside this ship the boy found a book, called the Koram, which revealed that Lord Ptharos had long ago stepped down as King of the Gods and appointed Vortumnus, god of chivalry and honor, as his replacement. The Koramian faith shares the concept of Ptharos stepping down as King of the Gods with the Aebasan Orthodoxy, but the two faiths disagree on what transpired thereafter.

The Koramian Heresy is dominant on the continent of Duria, though the Narbonnaise of Aurea also took up the faith during the chaos of the close of the Third Age of Man. Though the Church of Vortumnus is based in Paeldain, the capital of Koramia, few of the other Churches that subscribe to the Koramian Heresy have a central hierarchy or High Temple that leads the religion on Duria, in stark contrast to the rigid hierarchies of the Imperial Ecclesia of the Third Age of Man.
