	Clergy of Taiia can be recognized by their shaved heads and the fact that they wear their holy symbols prominently upon their chests. The faith is somewhat light on dogma, which boils down to "Taiia is supreme and must be adored to gain her favour and avert her wrath". Her motivations are not up for debate; she alone is divine, she alone created everything and one day she will destroy it. The faithful can only hope to be devoured by Taiia after death, so they may become one with her radiant glory; all who do not gain her favour face an eternity in the cold darkness.		{{Netbook-small}}Clergy of Taiia can be recognized by their shaved heads and the fact that they wear their holy symbols prominently upon their chests.

	In [[Conquista]], it is believed that Taiia created the world and sponsored the conquering people who came to the land and subjugated the pagans living there.
