History of Trigunian Paganism and the Church[]
Originally the religion of the Ancient Trigunian people, Trigunian Paganism thrived until the Terran Catholic Church purged it and left little known record of it. In 2801, archaeologists discovered documents from Ancient Trigunia and within five years the religious documents were being read and studied across Trigunia.
In 2805, the first Neo-Pagan Church was founded in Cheya, Milrata by Father Ivan Ivanov, formerly of the Terran Catholic Church.
