Editing Church of the Silver Flame (section)

==Dogma==
''Burn the corruption and taint of evil from all Eberron. Other gods have begun the creation, but it is the Silver Flame, by searing wickedness and darkness from their imperfect world, that must complete it.''

Just from the outset of this quote, your first impression would be to assume that these guys are a bunch of smite-everything self-righteous fanatics who see everything else, from twisted monstrosities like the Quori to some orcs whose only crime is just not being human, as bad and wrong for not being as pure as they are. This particular stereotype doesn't earn the Church many favors, though those disenfranchised with the Host's interest in upholding monotony over making waves do find interest.

However it should also be known that just purging things for no reason won't help a society from repeating those mistakes. It also requires building a foundation upon which fosters the growth of the coveted purity. This is the sort of reasoning that allows non-combatant followers of the Silver Flame to operate without mandating that they take a side-job in committing genocides.  

Indeed, the best thing a follower of the Flame can do is live a good, moral life, doing their best to make the world a better place and refine themselves into their best selves, so that upon death, all that is best in them merges with and strengthens the Flame, hastening the day when the Shadow is not merely caged but ''banished'' and the great work of remaking Eberron can begin.

Notably, it is ''not'' an explicitly racist religion. The mixed orc, human, and half-orc tribes that defend the Demon Wastes worship the Silver Flame, and there is evidence that the ancient civilization of [[scalykind]] also once revered something very like the modern Flame.

One important point that must be made is that the Purified don't deny the existence of The Host, or even truely oppose them. The Church of the Silver Flame is, technically, a splinter faith of the Host after all. The Purified honor, but don’t worship, the Nine and prefer followers of the Host that are truly led to good over members of their own congregation who are morally impure and only giving lip-service to the Flame. Their relation to the Druid faiths is largely the same, viewing them as having accomplished heroic deeds, but feeling they could do more in service to the Flame, especially with the knowledge the Druids hold, and disapprove of the Druids preference to keep the world in the present instead of improving it.
