The Church of Cyric

At a Glance

This is the religious following of Cyric. Since Cyric ascended following the Time of Troubles, and as a result of events during that cataclysm, the church only exists after 1358 DR.

The church of Cyric doesn’t exist in the Xaeyruudh campaign, because the Time of Troubles didn’t occur.
