Church of Phenex[]

The orthodox followers of Phenex, recognized by their black and red clothing and symbols build large cathedrals as churches, lit with hundreds of torches, lanterns, candles, and any source of fire they find. Inside they are very clean, well kept, and full of ritualistic regalia. Followers take special precautions to stay pure, often refraining from partaking of things like certain chemicals (such as drugs) or things like touching dead flesh directly. If they break their vows, they usually go about a ritual where they burn their hands, leaving painful scars as reminders of the consequences of taint. Non-orthodox followers of Phenex (recognized by white and orange symbols and clothing) use small stone keeps are churches, usually kept bright by a single bonfire, made of anything burnable in the area around their church, even once-living beings. These followers tend to be manic and believe that all things are irrevocably tainted, and must be burned to ash in order to be purified. They are truly dangerous madmen, though some would say they are only a different kind of insane from the other Phenex followers.
