The Eastern Orthodox Church is both a church dedicated to Berthism, traditionally the most influential religious organization in Palatinus, and a term used for the entire eastern region of Capitrium where the church holds sway.
It is said that the Temple of Berthe, built in the days of the ancient king, is located in Capitrium. Even after the conquest of Palatinus by Lodis and the forced conversion to Lodisism, those who worshiped the goddess Berthe would congregate here. It came to be known as the Eastern Orthodox Church, as opposed to the Lodisism of the west, and eventually the region itself became known by that name.
The church was led by Archbishop Odiron Balum, until a staged incident saw him replaced by Central Division noble Kerikov Barthes. After the Palatinean Revolutionary Army liberated the region, the Archbishop was reinstated.
An all female division called the Berthan Sentinels are the church's highest ranked military order.
