Bulbian Church
The Bulbian Church is named in the opening voiceover as one of the two great powers, with the Concordant Emperor, that tend the peace of Calorum, and its holy city is Brightgarden CC E1·00:00:00. Lapin is a primogen of the Church and the princesses' royal tutor CC E1·00:12:27.
The Bulbian Church is the religion of the Great Bulb, ruled by the Pontifex Belizabeth Brassica as Hierophant Rex, with primogens, archbishops such as Onionpatch, and paladins such as Keradin under her CC E5·01:38:21 CC E6·00:18:40. Lapin serves it as a primogen while secretly drawing his power from the Sugar-Plum Fairy CC E1·01:43:36 CC E3·00:05:38. Its Hierophant Rex orders that justice be dispatched on Candia's champions, and the Pontifex tries Liam and Amethar in the cathedral CC E4·01:52:00 CC E5·01:38:21.
The Church becomes the party's enemy. The cathedral fight leaves Lapin dead at Keradin's mace CC E6·01:41:50. Cumulous says the Church knows its power comes from people not having magic, and Amethar is excommunicated CC E9·00:48:45 CC E9·01:13:40. The Pontifex calls a holy crusade and the Ramsian Doctrine becomes official CC E13·00:37:20. In the last battle Joren knocks a Bulbian symbol down in the town and half of the paladins lie dead CC E16·02:02:41 CC E17·00:31:54. The Pontifex is shot from the keep wall, and in Ally's vignette she and Keradin are revived and held in prison CC E17·01:47:42 CC E17·02:15:21.
