The Secular Order enforces the '''Celestial Ban on Void Worship''', a law set in place after the [[First Fracture]], when mortals first attempted communion with the [[Void (Mystifea)|Void]] which warped parts of reality and drove thousands mad.

The Order ensures such knowledge is never spread and such faith never tolerated. | The Secular Order enforces the '''Celestial Ban on Void Worship''', a law set in place after the [[First Fracture (Mystifea)|First Fracture]], when mortals first attempted communion with the [[Void (Mystifea)|Void]] which warped parts of reality and drove thousands mad.
