Kiravian Sectarians: Difference between revisions

Sectarian churches are most common in the Eastern Highlands and Western Highlands, where geography and an independent culture distrustful of outsiders and lowland hierarchies have long limited the ability of the established churches to assert their authority. Complex cultural interactions between Coscivians, Celts, and Aboriginals in these areas have also contributed to the emergence of churches with unique creeds and traditions. Northwest Kirav, the Western Highlands, and Kiravian Punth are also home to many {{wp|intentional communities}} formed by members of insular and ultraconservative sects, including many Sedevacantist Catholic groups. The Mid-Continental cultural region has many Sectarian churches, often associated with a particular locality and/or ethnic community. The areas of Kiravia where Sectarians are least common are Farravonia, where the strong influence of Catholic orthodoxy emanating from the Rosary Belt has contributed to greater ecclesiastical cohesion, and the Eastern Seaboard outside of urban centres.
