Sect Persecution (Lorica)

Sect Persecution
In Ethaya the orthodox is the guild structure. Because of the guilds' jealousy over their secrets, the guilds have declared them heterodox (contrasted with the orthodoxy of the guilds) and have engaged in campaigns to crack down on them. One way they do this is by making out all sects as being morally depraved for stealing the guilds' secrets; the guilds have been largely successful with this in the guilded states, resulting in sects located in Ethaya being in poor repute. This makes it harder for sects to attract more members and more likely that others would report the presence of sects to the guild.
