It's more of an organisational split, sure, but I was wondering when that occurred. If the Church started out in one place - which is probably the East, I would say - when did there develop a separate branch in the West? Was the West settled before that or after that? So many questions, and I'm quite frustrated that there are no answers!

And you've got a good point about the Order of the Flame. It existed in King Gannon's time, and still exists today - but where are all the knights? How many of them are there? There's a viable order, so it can't just be two or three. *g* I don't think the order had anything to do with sorcery, but with or without that it's strange.
