The Home Faith is the Borcan, and original, branch of the Church of Ezra. The majority of its clergy are of Lawful Neutral alignment, and its clerics most often take the Mists Domain and the Law Domain as their spell-domains. However, neither alignment nor domain selection are requirements for individual anchorites, merely major trends.[1] The Home Faith is headquartered in the Great Cathedral of Levkarest, where Praesidius Levin Postoya currently leads the faith. In the Cathedral, the Home Faith plays host to representatives from all of the recognized splinter sects.[2]
Clerics of the Home Faith are charged to heal the faithful and deliver them from harm.[3] Unlike the Mordentish Sect or the Darkonian Sect, the Home Faith shows disengagement from interfering with the fates of nonbelievers and leaves such fates to Ezra's discretion.[2]
Within Borca, the faith represents a source of hope and succor for the oppressed lower classes, whom flock to the Great Cathedral in droves every day. "S" contends this represents a source of social control originally imagined by Yakov Dilisnya, the Church's Mordentish founder. This is not to say that the church does not attend to the religious needs for the Borcan nobility, because the Church and Borcan politics have become entangled together[2] as evidenced by the events of the First Schism. However, in the past Camille Dilisnya made it clear the clergy should stay univolved with any talks of revolution or dissidence.[4]. In the present, Levin Postoya does his best to keep the Home Faith's political stance neutral. Whatever degree he may hope to keep the Church so neutral, Levin Postoya nonetheless privately meets with nobles to appease their demands and secure their donations.[2]
