The Nine Saints

In the religion of The Holy Faith there exists divine beings and holy persons, but among them there exists nine individuals that are recognised as patrons of the One God. They are called the The Nine Saints, the most holy individuals of the Faith. These saints have either died for their faith or fought for their king and country.

Today there only exists a few known saints, before there existed several thousand saints that had been appointed by lectus in history. But in 3e 819 Lectus Innoc VII enacted a religious reform that removed nearly all saints from the church. Only a few hundred saints weren´t removed from the hall of saints, a building connected to the church in the holy city of Cylia where the cathedral of the lectus is located.

Major Saints
Among the few saints that still exists in the hall of saints, there are nine in particular that stand out, these are called the nine saints and they are among the strongest and most powerful saints in THF. Major saints often have their centre of patronage in large cities and capitals. A person is lifted as a major saint when he or she have died or sacrificed himself for the holy faith or for innocent people.

Minor Saints
Minor saints are more common in THF, and have a large followship in the church due to their local patronage in towns and villages. A person is lifted as a minor saint when he or she have done something extraordinary for the faith, such as protecting innocents, spreading the religion or leading incursions against heretics.
