A new faith in the mainland established roughly two years ago (~1513 [[FI]]) whose theology claims that their religious head, [[Alexandria Avatar]] (or [[Alexandria Incarnate]], or [[Sorcerer Queen]], or the Lady), is the reincarnation of [[Alexandria]] who will bring stability and order to the world.

			The [[:Category:Bounty Hunters\|Bounty Hunters]], through investigation, have found evidence that they are sacrificing undesirables and other forgotten people for an unknown, magical purpose (as a result of these efforts, practice of the Neo-Alexandrian faith is banned in [[Crestence]]) (they have similarly been obstacles to it in [[Wydmoor]]). The church's members they have run into in the borders of the faith's reach have demonstrated a singular mind and fanatic devotion to the cause, although in [[Estrabule]], where it is more established, it has many more converts who don't necessarily demonstrate the same fanaticism and are instead well-integrated into the community (with less direct evidence that they are harvesting undesirables). Some of the merchant houses have even switched their religious alliance without immediately coming to ruin, a significant development.

			Several specializations of its members have been observed:

			* At the lowest rank
			** Castigators, unarmed mage-slayers (monk class, mage slayer feat)
			** Glossolalists, dual-wielding rapier trance fighters (op dex-barbarian class, dual-wielding feat)
			** Scribners, ranged magic-users (warlock class, ''guiding bolt'', ''create bonfire'', etc)
			* Leading the above
			** Evangelists, enchanters (bard class, ''suggestion'', ''sleep'', etc)

			Additionally, the names of some ranking officers of militant factions within the cult are known.

			* [[Wan-Wu of the West]], a shapeshifting, teleporting mind-reader
			* [[Drakaar the Mosite]], probably an antipaladin
			* [[Katalin the Blood Scribe]], probably some witchy weirdo
			* The [[Lady of Light]], the clerical head and nominal leader of Nia-Agliare, although she is wholly subservient to the Sorcerer Queen.
