The Church of Elyndhor was the principle religion of the Republic of Eredware before the Great Collapse and subsequent subjugation and inquisition by Kyue Relenka. Many of the major religious figures, leaders, and the Order of Paladins built around the Church were expunged and dismantled during the Inqusition of Thorns. The only known practitioners of this faith in Myrken Wood are the ex-soldier-now-farmer Aereyemus Haar and his wife, Shyla.

The cult itself was built around a single God, and a myriad of demi-gods and saints, who represented various virtues and aspects of the universe. Religious texts and legends place Elyndhor as a mythical hero in an age long since past, before the rise of Men. Elyndhor, himself, was born of auspicious origins, under a specific sign, which read in the stars passes only once every ten thousand years or so, and rose to overthrow the Lord of Death and Night, who held the world at his mercy at the end of the First Age. Though a minority faith for many centuries, it rose to promience in the Republic of Eredware following the overthrow of the Highlands Consortium nearly six centuries ago and was widely practiced throughout the sprawling republic. Elyndhor became the patron God of the Sun and founded his cult before his acsension, behooving his followers to guide their lives by the eight tenets: Honesty, Trust, Love, Loyalty, Self-Sacrifice, Humility, Courage, Temperance and Faith.

Numerous orders sprung out of the central church, including the Orders of St. Keldai Ala Mirin, or the Cder Sunae, an august order of Gods-touched Paladins who sought to keep balance and order, the House of St. Balan, a charitable organization that looked after orphans, the infirm, and rendered aid to travellers, and the Martyred Crucible of St. Anei of Lamaciua, who watches over beggars, prostitutes, and offers guidance and salvation to the fringe and bottom elements of society.

Sadly, the religion is all but extinct as the Church's assets were liquidated during the Blight of Thorns and the Inquistion of Knives during the Great Collapse of Eredware. Nearly all of the major figures were either executed, banished, or faced far darker fates and lay people were converted, often forcibly to the new Cult of Blight. The Grand Pontifex, Theyrenius, has been missing since the collapse, though the cells of the religion that still exist, operate in secret and keep the faith that their leader and church will be restored to its proper place.
