*** <blockquote style="color:grey">The city's Hadriarch of many decades was Edi, who passed away in 1514. While beloved by the residents of Wydmoor, other factions within the church considered his treatment of orthodoxy lacking (bordering on heretical). The Western Hadriarchs made sure to raise a traditionalist to the position, and the incoming Hadriarch has made little secret of his desires to return Alexandrianism in Wydmoor back to the fold and works to discredit organizations that flourished under Edi's presence in order to further those gains. This has been received differently by different segments of the community, although the halflings of Wydmoor take a very dim view of the policy change almost universally.</blockquote> | *** <blockquote style="color:grey">The city's Hadriarch of many decades was Edi, who passed away in 1514.

*** They run into Father Parth, the halfling pastor of Hubtown. He has been the head of this church for 15 years, was appointed by Edi himself and, especially since the new Hadriach's arrival, has become the de facto pillar of the halfling religious community. He is a native of Wydmoor, and his grandparents were among the first to resettle this area. When the conversation turns to his opinions about the new Hadriarch, he stays politic: "You don't always like your boss". | *** They run into Father Parth, the halfling pastor of the Church of the Open Road in Hubtown.
