Schism

The Schism occured in the Year of God 892, when the Archbishopric of Charis renounced the Church of God Awaiting, declaring that the Temple had been corrupted into a tool of secular power rather than a religious order by the Group of Four.

As a result, the Archbishopric, led by Maikel Staynair, former Bishop of Tellesberg, officially transformed itself into the independent Church of Charis in a ceremony at Tellesberg Cathedral. Mentioning Grand Vicar Tomhys' writ of instruction On Obedience and Faith as inspiration, Staynair read aloud the letter that would be sent to Grand Vicar Erek XVII and the Council of Vicars, and in which he renounced the authority of both institutions. 

The Schism eventually led to the Holy War on Charis.
