Makerist Churches

In Antiquity, there were many Makerist sects. A unified set of beliefs were established over several ecumenical councils, which the Calradic emperors upheld. For a few centuries Calradic, or Charisian, Makerism reigned supreme. One of the most widespread heresies that it faced was Oriental Makerism, when the two fell into schism in the 400s. Both the Corists and Orthodox claim to have been this Calradic Makerism and uphold that the other split away from it. The Great Schism started around the time when the Vlandians took Sunorium and when the Vlandian Empire was established. 
== Core Church ==
All Corist churches are under the supreme authority of the Papacy, the Pontiff, the Bishop of Uxkhal (Formerly Sunorium), the Vicar of Maor. Including all of the Corist Patriarchs, Archbishops, and Bishops. 
The Papacy: (Aurelian/Aurele II)
* Patriarchate of Charas (Simon III)
* Patriarchate of Almaros / Almarium (Manuel)
* Patriarchate of Durquba / Durachium 
* Archbishopric of Praven (Gotchalcus - Praven was colloquially seen as the "Eldest Daughter" of the Church since Vlandian days)
** Archbishopric of Suno (Despite attempts by the monarchy to bring it directly under Praven, it remains free as it was before Emmerich's conquest)
* Archbishopric of Dhirim (Bernard) 
* Archbishopric of Veluca (Eugenio)
* Archbishopric of Jelkala 
* Archbishopric of Yalen 
* Archbishopric of Tihr 
* Archbishopric of Sargoth
** Bishop of Wercheg (Under the Church of Sargoth)
* Archbishopric of Reyvadin (Petrus - Resides in Vedainiai since the fall of the Solketis. It used to reside over all of the Dramish. As of now, it resides over the very small minority of Corist Reyvads.)
*Bishopric of Durante (Ever since its independence, Prato has been directly under the Pope)
* Bishopric of Cenica (Ever since its independence, Chelza has been directly under the Pope)
* Bishopric of Vedainiai (Ever since Dramuvas became independent once more, it has been directly under the Pope)
== Orthodox Church ==
In contrast, there is no universal head of the Orthodox Church. It consists of several different, independent churches within the Orthodox Church. The Ecumenical Patriarch of Almaros holds the honorary title, "First Among Equals." This title used to be held by Sunorium, but has been transferred to the capitals of the Calradic Empire, where the Calradic Orthodox Church is centered.
Ecumenical Patriarchate of Almaros: (Isaias)
* Bishopric of Zelibor (A de facto independent Brazke Church)
* Bishopric of Cenica (This was the center of the Chelzan Church when it was still imperial. It still exists, although the Orthodox there are a very small minority.)
* Bishopric of Tulga / Thaloniki (Established under Dusturil. Although it is still tolerated and it still exists, it has almost no adherents.) 
Patriarchate of Curaw (Andrey)
* Metropolis of Khudan (Under Curaw)
** Bishopric of Korochevsk (All churches of Khuzakia and Ravninia have been lumped under Korochevsk, which is under Khudan. Before Curaw's subjugation of the region, Khuzakia was under the Metropolitan of Rivacheg.)
Patriarchate of Charas 
Patriarchate of Durquba / Durachion (Once one of the most important patriarchates, it has slowly eroded under Sarrian rule, until it was dissolved entirely by the fanatical sultans. It has been reestablished ever since the Corists took Durquba, although it is only a very minor and weak patriarchate, with there being only a few Orthodox left in Durquba.)
Metropolis of Reyvadin (Stepan - Fully independent since 1236, previously was an autonomous church under Almaros.)
Metropolis of Rivacheg (Makariy - Fully independent since 1236, previously was an autonomous church under Almaros.)
There are some very distant rumors that there are still Orthodox believers east of Calradia, headed by a Katholikos.
== Oriental Church ==
The Oriental Churches are similarly autonomous and independent. The Patriarch of Bariyye is more or less the head of all Oriental Makerists within the Caliphate. 
Patriarchate of Bariyye (Imran - It is thought that the Church of Bariyye has been infiltrated by the Ministry of Intelligence. Rivals of the Caliphate sometimes claim that this church is merely a puppet of the Caliphate.) 
* Archbishopric of Quyaz
* Metropolis of Ahmerrad 
Patriarchate of Durquba 
Patriarchate of Shariz / Charas (Although this still exists, the Oriental Makerists still left in Charas from the Sarrian conquests are an extremely small minority)
