Rise of Apostolic MilitancyCoburan Apostolic militia in ZardugalThe large-scale destruction and devastation resulting from the ongoing
Jelbic-Augustan Wars have given birth to sectarian and inter-ethnic conflict throughout the continent of Majatra. Amongst the most affected by the conflicts is the Apostolic Hosian community; the implementation of a radical Ahmadi regime in Barmenia, the conquest of Zardugal by the Black Horde, and the resentment felt by Augustan nationalists towards the fall of their Empire have all led to increasing persecutions and discrimination against members of the Apostolic Church of the East. The Church, while being one of the largest denominations in Majatra, is a minority faith in all Majatran nations but Cildania. The ancient Apostolic Hosian centres of Arakhim, where the
Barmenian Apostolic Church still maintains a strong presence, and Cobura and Zardugal, where the
Coburan Apostolic Tewahido Church is the second largest denomination, are witnessing numerous attacks on the life and property of Apostolic faithful. In response, the local Apostolic Hosians have begun forming their own militias to defend their communities. Allegedly sponsored by the wealthy
Apostolic Department of Cildania, the Apostolic militias have begun engaging in terrorist activities against members of the other religious and ethnic communities, further fueling sectarian conflict on the continent.
