== Pre-history ==
=== Origins of the Religion ===
Callan Horne was born in Lochem, Kingdom of the Netherlands. He lived inside a heavily Protestant household, becoming a Religious man. After leaving the University of Amsterdam, he returned to Lochem and started a newspaper company using finances from his father, a retired Captain of the Dutch army. The business had initial success but eventually collapsed due to a lack of interest from Horne and the rest of the population in Lochem. After this and many more failures, the eventual Prophet found himself discontent with the life he was experiencing and decided to pack up and move New Amsterdam, the Dutch colony on the East Coast of America. 
Callan Horne Settled within a northern community, which unbenounced to him, was majorly Catholic. He took up a few trade jobs, earning some money. During a contract, he was fatally injured yet survived, which he declared a miracle. Many think of this as his 'religious awakening'. Shortly after this incident, he published the book of Mormon and created a pre-church organization centered around this branch of Christianity in his town and several others. Using his skills from his newspaper career, he advertised the Book of Mormon. After 4 years, the religion gained around 35,000 followers throughout the colony.
