Based in the previously abandoned cathedral Ste. Mere des Larmes ("Sainted Mother of Tears") in Port-a-Lucine.[1], the Dementlieuse Sect of the Church of Ezra hold a mystical understanding of their goddess. Referred to as the Erudites[2] and mostly Neutral in alignment, most of the sect's anchorites partake in scholarly study of Ezra for the majority of their time.[3][4] The Ste. Mere des Larmes and its texts hold particular interest for the Erudites, for they believe these ancient relics to hold knowledge lost for hundreds of years. Numerology, particularly concerning the repeated appearances of the number 5 in holy scripture, has also gathered great interests from the Erudites.[1]
The Erudites care little for evengelism. Thus, worship services are small. Nonetheless, the Erudites manage to gain financial resources through the manufacture of intricately decorated sacred texts. In addition, the miraculous healing powers of ]]the Icon of Ezra]] continues to draw significant attention of those wishing to benefit from its powers.[5]
