Le Main branch of Xaethosi. Directly lead by the Archbishop in Eternatus, Eternatus Island, Alksearia.

==Ursine Church==
In 1988, the Ursine Church split from the Central Church over disagreements over the Archbishopric. In a controversial move, the College of Elders voted to deny the writ of nomination from King Eldras V, allowing the College to elect a member themselves. Two candidates eventually came to be: the now-Archbishop Rhea III and High Elder Vorg’rath Tel’kum. After an unprecedented 10 rounds of voting, Archbishop Rhea was named the new Archbishop. The Balistrian Church took offense as High Elder Tel’kum had been around for longer, and had served on the previous Archbishop’s council. The Ursine Church declared itself sovereign from the Alksearian Church, and instituted their own Archbishop. The Ursine Church only has a following within Balistria, however, recent tensions between Balistria and Alksearia have resulted in the Ursine Church starting to decline.

* There are 2 main gods: Xaethos and Ceurin.
* There is a Fallen God: Trinomaz
* Xaethos is the Creator, and the god of gods. Xaethos is not gendered as Xaethos can take any form that they so wish.
* Ceurin is Xaethos's son and the god who came to Urth to spread the word of Xaethos
* Trinomaz was also Xaethos's son until Trinomaz tried to overthrow Xaethos and so was banished to Atlas
