The Holy Stefanic Church, or Egliso Stefanica Saintos, is the organization through which Stefanism, the official state religion of New Sarovia, is developed and preached. The faith, strong yet unorganized in the early days of the community, was first organized during the reign of Carolus XII of New Sarovia, whose reign, along with that of his younger brother and successor, Consteynnos VI, were marked by a great deal of religious reforms and mass conversions.
The Church is organized into four Ardes, or Orders, responsible for recruiting new converts, developing Church cultural materials, developing Church dogma and theology, and hosting services in the various games in which the Church is present; this usually corresponding to the games in which New Sarovia is present. While the Church was once an international entity, when New Sarovia conquered and united Graalian civilization, it began to work closely with the Sarovian Government, in particular the Ministe eui Cuir.
Today, the Church and its four Orders are led by the Paziesaintos, the Bishop of Vurgos who serves as the supreme leader of the Church by virtue of sacred tradition, who is elected to the post by his peers.
