Bastion Felix Wachter

Felix Wachter was born in Borca. His family belonged land's elite, but he was not first born, and so, as was common practice, his family sought out, and secured for him, a place in the Church of Ezra. There he would distinguish himself. By 695 BC, when the first service was held within the stone skeleton of Great Cathedral of Levkarest, the Church within Borca was thriving and had become a force to be reckoned within. It lay claim to the soul's of the inhabitants of Sturben by establishing a small temple there. The first Sturben of that temple was very likely Felix Wachter. In any case, he was the Sentire of Sturben by 698 BC when the course of his life took a most unforeseen and decisive turn. He found himself leading the minority faction within the Church that argued against accepting the bribe of Camille Dilisnya whereby she sought to draw a line under her murder of Praesidius Yakov Dilisnya. Her accompanying offer to raise before the Great Cathedral a statue of her brother only complicated the matter. Both bitterly disappointed by the willingness of his fellow anchorites to enter into a pact with Camille and greatly afraid of being repaid by Camille for the resistance that was offered against the proposed pact, Felix led four like-minded anchorites from Borca to Mordent where they founded the Mordentish sect of the faith. They were immediately branded heretics. But Felix would in 699 BC pen the The Second Book of Ezra and would ultimately succeed in obliging the authorities in Levkarest to recognise the legitimacy of the Mordentish Sect. This first schism was healed in the end by the division of the Church into the Home Faith based in Borca and the Mordentish Sect based in Mordent. Felix served as the bastion of this new sect from 698 BC to his death in 716 BC. He choose Vladimir Denisovich as his successor.
