Church of the Second Hytoth

The Church of the Second Hytoth (GoI-3088), also known as the Ortothans, is an anomalous religious organization that worships the Koru-teusa, aiming to protect Rakmou-leusan, the last living member of the Koru-teusa, as it holds back the Voruteut from destroying the current iteration of the universe known as the Second Hytoth.
As part of the ritual to protect Rakmou-leusan, blood is shed in order to preserve his life. The Ortothans are not exclusively on Earth, as the Terzan 2 Ortothan Coalition is an extraterrestrial organization currently enthralled in a war.

==Organization==
===Relationships with other groups===
====Church of the Broken God====
The Ortothans see the Church of the Broken God as fundamentally wrong, as "God" isn't broken, because Rakmou-leusan is defending the universe from the Voruteut.
====Division XXV====
Division XXV hunted the Ortothans in East Germany, though the Ortothans never discovered who was persecuting them. As such, they developed procedures for hiding until the collapse of Division XXV.
====Fifthism====
Fifthists refer to the Second Hytoth followers as Heptagons (due to their association with the number seven) or Squares (because Fifthists see Ortothans as boring).
====The Hive====
Ortothans see the Hive's gestalt-consciousness as a parasite, and seek to remove the connection from the affected.
====Horizon Initiative====
The Church of the Second Hytoth see the Horizon Initiative as limited by their sole focus on human religion.
====SAPPHIRE====
SAPPHIRE completely opposes the Church due to their being a religion, though these efforts are not as effective due to SAPPHIRE's refusal of belief in the extraterrestrial.
====Sarkicism====
Sarkicism is associated with the Voruteut by Ortothans; as such, they are shunned and feared.
====SCP Foundation====
Relations between the SCP Foundation and the Church of the Second Hytoth are mostly neutral, though they have allied on occasion.
====Special Security Commission====
During the Spanish Civil War, the Ortothans sided with the Republicans against Francisco Franco and the Special Security Commission. An attempt to summon an avatar of Rakmou-leusan was foiled by the Commission, and Franco's National Catholic Dictatorship won the war.
====The Wandsmen====
The Wandsmen communicating about the destruction of the First Hytoth is praised by the Church.
====Das Wunderkabinett====
Sjhlfels am Rhein-based members are pleased with Das Wunderkabbinet's magical services.
