Katia's dogma is subject to many interpretations. Her order has no single church or central hierarchy. Followers are loosely organized and tend to live in small groups with each group being headed by its most senior member. Many times that senior member is the eldest of the clan. Sometimes a clan is led by a family. It is not uncommon for followers to be solitary people. This, not surprisingly, includes the [[druids]] and [[rangers]] who follow | Katia's dogma is subject to many interpretations. Her order has no single church or central hierarchy. Followers are loosely organized and tend to live in small groups with each group being headed by its most senior member. Many times that senior member is the eldest of the clan. Sometimes a clan is led by a family. It is not uncommon for followers to be solitary people. This, not surprisingly, includes the [[druids]] and [[rangers]] who follow [[Katia]]. The Church of Katia, while not grandly organized, shares respect of place from clan or group to another. If a visiting [[cleric]] or elder passes through, they are given the same respect as the clan's own leaders. | ||

The rumored creature lords and ladies were thought mostly a myth or a bedtime tale to be shared with the very young. However, shortly after the year 1385, the Bird Lord arose to a visible place within the world as the needs of nature and of Katia grew to a scope that could no longer afford his presence to be hidden. The battle with [[Sinthar Bloodstone]] took war to whole new levels of [[destruction]] and taint, leaving swathes of destroyed nature in its path. | ||
Katia's most faithful are these few. In some tellings, they are a small clan of part [[animal]] part humanoid people who do her bidding. In other tellings, they are people selected and reborn by Katia to represent her in the world and carry out her wishes. Despite nature's need for [[champions]], only the Bird Lord is currently known to be more than a myth, and he is legendary in his own right. With the appearance and presence of the Bird Lord in the last few decades, many of her faithful and indeed some outside of the faith wonder about the other rumored creature lords and ladies. In the years now of rebuilding and replanting, new tales of hope are surfacing including the tendrils of the past legends to build hope for the future in these dark times. | Katia's most faithful are these few.
