==Creation and History==
==Creation and History==
The Church was formally created in 1500 when the first Archbishop, Theodore Vaïno, reorganized the Church and formalized the teachings of the Tomes of Xaethos. The first thing he did was establish a formal hierarchy with an Archbishop as the leader, bishops as heads of a regional church, and priests as the leader of the local church. The second thing that happened in the formal founding was the establishment of a formal doctrine and a formal ritual. The Council of Bishops, at the time of the establishment, determined that anything that was outside of established teachings and doctrine would be heretical.
