The Church was founded in year 85 of the Imperial calendar in the aftermath of the war between Saint [[Seiros]] and the Liberation King [[Nemesis]]. To help manage the affairs of the Church, it was split into four branches: the main Central Church, based in [[Garreg Mach Monastery]], the Southern Church in [[Adrestia]], the Western Church in [[Faerghus]], and the Eastern Church in [[Leicester]]. The Church of Seiros served as [[Fódlan]]'s primary religious institution throughout the next millennium, and also acted as peacekeepers in times of conflict; the Church is notably credited with negotiating the end of the War of the Eagle and Lion that resulted in the legitimization of Faerghus as an independent nation in exchange for the Church being declared the state religion. | The Church was founded in year 85 of the Imperial calendar in the aftermath of the war between Saint [[Seiros]] and the Liberation King [[Nemesis]].

In approximately 1065, the Southern Church participated in a major insurrection against the Empire. The bishop of the Southern Church was exiled by the emperor, the Southern Church was disbanded, management of religious affairs in the Empire was transferred to House Varley, and relations between the Empire and the Church were permanently and fatally damaged. | ||
By the year 1180, Seiros had become archbishop of the Church under the pseudonym [[Rhea]]. Throughout 1180, the Central Church came under attack by a conspiracy involving the Western Church, a cult known as "[[those who slither in the dark]]", and a masked individual calling themselves the [[Flame Emperor]]. The [[Knights of Seiros]] crushed the Western Church, purged the heretic apostates, and replaced them with new clergy loyal to the Central branch. At the end of 1180, the Flame Emperor was unmasked as newly crowned Adrestian emperor [[Edelgard|Edelgard von Hresvelg]], who blamed the Church for propagating the Crest-based society that led to her siblings being killed in experiments that imbued her with the Crest of Flames. She formally declared war on the Church and won the opening battle at Garreg Mach. The outcome of the war would be determined by the actions of a mercenary named [[Byleth]]. | By the year 1180, Seiros had become archbishop of the Church under the pseudonym [[Rhea]].
