Dark Religion
Dark religion is a form of religion where followers worship some dark god or deity. They are often looked down upon by most people, particularly if they are followers of a holy religion. The Dark Churches around Patria are often subject to isolation despite their many followers.

Church of Maldrazel
The Church of Maldrazel is a church that worships the Dark Lord Maldrazel. According to popular myth, Maldrazel was the right-hand-man of the Dark Lord Voldrazar, who fell at the hands of the first seven Lunaculi. It once tyrannically ruled the City of Ranar, before the Order of Ranar took it from them. The purpose of this church is purely conquest and the genocide of all things "mortal", and for this reason is avoided by most. Today the Church is underground and hidden from public eye.

Cult of Nardra
The Cult of Nardra is a henotheistic vampiric dark religion that worships Nardra, the Vampiric Goddess of Chaos.

Church of Satan
The Church of Satan is the primary church that worships the Devil King Satan. The Church of Satan has no official headquarters and is underground. The Church of Satan was once the rulers of the Empire of Darkania, before it was defeated by the Holy Papal Empire and the main worshipers of the Faith of Kuhmuf. Some say that Satan is the same Dark Lord that fell at the hands of the first seven Lunaculi, but various texts prove otherwise.

Church of Chaos
The Church of Chaos, sometimes known as the Dark Church or the Dark Order, is the hidden church that worships the Dark Lord Voldrazar, who was defeated by the Lunaculi. Unlike other dark religions, the followers of the Dark Church are a bit more active, seeking to plunge all of Patria into chaos, and most seeking the eventual resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldrazar. Also unlike the others, the Chaos Church is completely hidden from public eye, most not even knowing of it's existence.
