Now that they've reared their ugly head, I may as well tell you about them.
Up until now I had hoped the connection between the seven mysterious beings constantly mentioned in regards to the War and the Seven Angels worshiped by the Church of the Seven was just a coincidence. Seven, next to three, is one of the most important numbers in mythology, and it carries great significance in many religions. Unfortunately, it's becoming painfully clear that something is going on with the Church.
The church is composed entirely of humans. The only reason they are never threatened by outside forces is because of their vast wealth of knowledge. They keep little written documents pertaining to what they know, and most of their beliefs are passed down orally. Destroying them would be destroying many secrets concerning the nature of our reality.
They side with the Lost God (mentioned primarily in the "Other Philosophies" thread) on many matters and consider the unions formed by the Gods, Demons, etc. to be a blasphemy. The unions keep Gods in power by having all members attempt to distribute their power evenly. This allows Gods who no longer have followers to stay in control of many elements of reality indefinitely. This is considered a good thing by many, as it ensures that not one aristocracy of beings hold control over mankind.
The Church of the Seven believe that the bureaucratic system that the unions utilize is somehow threatening to the Everything. They consider the Everything to be the one true God and seven supposed agents of it to be the only true Guardians/Angels. Not much is known outside of the Church about this seven. In fact, they revealed more about them tonight on this website than at any other time.
This means that they are taking this War very seriously. While I do not believe they will fight us directly, they will more than likely be launching a smear campaign against religion, the unions, and myself.
