	The '''Church of the Silver Flame''' is the "youngest" religion of Khorvaire in the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting of [[Eberron]].

Whilst the ''Purified'', as its adherents call themselves, are a powerful force for good, the church has been wracked with controversy, due to a tendency towards very [[Lawful Stupid]] behavior among their ~~Audairian~~ branch. Whatever the case, there's no argument that the Flame itself genuinely exists and can be visited, something that isn't true of the Host.

	Worshipers join the flame, strengthening it, upon death. This doesn't sound great, but it's superior to everyone else on Eberron who go to the realm of the dead, [[Dolurrh]], to lose themselves and gradually fade from existence. This makes the church reluctant to resurrect worshipers and all recorded resurrection of non-worshipers has been a result of bribery.		Worshipers join the flame, strengthening it, upon death.

	The Church of the Silver Flame was founded in the year 299 YK, when a female [[human]] [[paladin]] named Tira Miron gave her life to merge with the Silver Flame and, by doing so, seal away one of those Overlords named Bel Shalor, who still tries to subvert his prison as "The Shadow in the Flame". After this act, Tira became able to communicate with mortals as "The Voice of the Silver Flame", and mortals began worshiping the Silver Flame.

	They famously purged just about all the lycanthropes on Eberron, on the grounds that ''something'' was causing them all to turn evil, even the ones that're traditionally okay like werebears, and there are like twelve moons orbiting the planet so there’s a full one every few days. Also, the spells that cure lycanthropy all require the subject to ''pass'' a save, which the lycanthrope can always choose to fail. This led to the Church not realizing there ''were'' ways to cure lycanthropy for much of the Purge, to say nothing of the many [[shifter]]s that got accidentally killed in the process. And, lest you feel too sorry for them, let there be no bones about the fact that these were ''lycanthropes'', very few of them were helpless victims unable to defend themselves, and lycanthropy is legitimately a disease that destroys the morals and personality of the infected (the situation was, officially if out of universe, likened to a [[zombie]] apocalypse). The lycanthropes were a major threat to civilization, and devastated ~~Audair~~. The purge was a very close run thing - the Templars had the numbers, but each were creature was more than a match for several Templars and could sow division throughout communities. It was the lycanthropes that tricked the Templars into attacking shifters, because they recognized the shifters could help the Templars recognize who was a lycanthrope and who wasn't. As the purge went on, the Templars got the upper hand and managed to break the lycanthropes' power. This is where things really got nasty. Seeing that the rest of the purge would just be mop up crews, the Templars from other nations let the converts from ~~Audair~~ handle mopping up the remaining lycanthropes and went home. These converts were fanatical, and hellbent on revenge. They viewed their faith as a weapon, not a defense, and set to work killing every single lycanthrope and everything that looked like one. Cue shifters dying in droves. To this day, the ~~Audair~~ branch of the faith is infamous for its zeal and penchant for burning people alive.

	It definitely did more good than harm, especially since at the tail end they ''did'' start curing the remorseful instead of killing them, but it's still seen as a big black mark on the church's history. The festival celebrating their win is traditionally tempered with sermons about the ways in which they went too far and did things they shouldn't.

They theoretically revere the Keeper, but in practice (and thanks to conspiracy theories about the Cardinals they all believe), Purists tend to attribute anything they don't like her saying to the Cardinals and are hoping to try to "liberate" her.

Whilst it's been around for many years, with the deity-like force it worships - the actual '''Silver Flame''' - have been forged by the [[couatl]]s during the Age of Demons, it's still younger as an organization than the [[Sovereign Host]], but far more organized than the splinter prone host. Whilst the ''Purified'', as its adherents call themselves, are a powerful force for good, the church has been wracked with controversy, due to a tendency towards very [[Lawful Stupid]] behavior among their Audairian branch. Whatever the case, there's no argument that the Flame itself genuinely exists and can be visited, something that isn't true of the Host.

	Worshipers join the flame, strengthening it, upon death. This doesn't sound great, but it's superior to everyone else on Eberron who go to the realm of the dead, lose themselves and gradually fade from existance. This makes the church reluctant to resurrect worshipers and all recorded resurrection of non-worshipers has been a result of bribery.		Worshipers join the flame, strengthening it, upon death.
