			==The Breaker Heresy==
			The Breaker (or Wrecker) may be merely a legend. Most of what is known of the Wrecker is rumor and hearsay. They speak of a Creidhe in love with destruction who can be hired to sabotage any machine or building, no matter the size or security of it. Some say they are a devout adherent of the Breaker heresy, others speak of them working for the Riverborn. Other Creidhe vehemently deny their existence, and seek to make that denial a reality.

			In the afterlife, the Shaper's power is without limit. In the mortal world, their power is opposed by the power of the Gwyllt, evil beings who come from the beyond to corrupt and devour the Shaper's children. The children of the Shaper must protect themselves against the Gwyllt or they will be lost.

==Who or What is the Shaper?==
The Shaper wishes for their children to thrive and lead good lives. The reward for a life well lived is a place in the afterlife, where the dead are reunited with their departed family and friends, and live on in oneness with the Shaper.

The Shaper does not give commands for what their children should not do, instead they exhort their children to do great deeds. Children of the Shaper are encouraged to build communities, to find love and to fight for what matters to them. They are directed to question rather than to blindly accept, to act rather than to brood, and to give of themselves rather than to hoard wealth.

The Shaper does not have a gender and is never depicted in humanoid form; their nature transcends that of mortals. Where they are depicted in iconography it is often as useful tools or as the Moon.

==Principles of the Shaper's Church==
The Shaper’s Church holds up 10 virtues that mortals should strive for in their lives, with each Order of the Church focusing on different Aspects. The 10 virtues are: Ambition, Prosperity, Loyalty, Compassion, Duty,
Perseverance, Clarity, Wisdom, Vigilance, and Courage.

While the Church generally avoids dictating what their children should not do and considers honest atonement possible for most transgressions, there are two big exceptions which are generally unforgivable crimes: willfully raising [[Undead]] Abominations (an act known as Graverobbing) and knowingly conspiring with the [[Gwyllt]].

==The Cinnire==
The [[Cinnire]] are the ordained disciples of the Church who dedicate their lives to the Shaper’s service and lead the people in this worship.
