The Hunter's Forest

I'm not so sure about that - the Church as the Prophet conceived and created it wasn't founded until long after both continents were settled, weren't they? (Or were they?) So it was originally one body, which then split into two through sheer geographical necessity, perhaps pushed along by other things, such as the aftereffects of the war. At least, that's how it seems to me right at this very moment; more rereading may change that again!
