List of Impure Ones
The List of Impure Ones is a comprehensive list maintained by the Flemic Church, Caradian government, and the Serfești which details the practices, beliefs, and groups which are considered heretical to the Church and/or poisonous to the Caradian government (though, it should be noted that this distinction is, in practice, irrelevant due to the close political proximity of the Flemic Church and the Caradian government). The list allows the inspection of the behaviour of suspicious citizens to maintain the spiritual and political purity of the Duchy.

Indifferentism
Indifferentism, defined by the Serfești as "belief in the refusal to take strong political beliefs". Indifferentism is seen as evil due to the belief in what is known as the "truth of conviction". This essentially means that one's beliefs and their ability to uphold or defend their beliefs are inherently tied to their ability to commit to an idea or plan. The inability for one to possess conviction or ability to be steadfast in their ideals represents a stagnation of ideas and a failing of progress and order.
Witchcraft
Witchcraft refers to the often undefined taboo portions of Dochvern Spiritualism. The practice was largely left specifically undefined due to the nebulous nature of the thing, which allowed the Flemic Church to stamp down on dissent and difference from the norm as witchcraft. The idea of prosecution against suspected witches began in the early days of the Flemic Church when dissent from neighbouring Sacovia had a larger base, due to the indoctrination of the Sacovians by the Dochvern shamans. The practice of witch trials thus allowed the Church to remove Sacovian dissenters to increase the percentage of Flemic Sacovians. Witchcraft prosecution largely died down after the annexation of the Apuèstas March, and most people who are removed because of witchcraft are those who personally identify themselves with the practice.
Idolism
Idolism is codified by Flemic Law as the "belief of an individual in the divinity of a material object or worldly person". Idolism essentially encompasses all religions which worship items, symbols, or people that are demonstrably present on Micras. Idolism is a source of Flemic aggravation with foreign relations because of the prevalence of such idolistic beliefs, most notably Tianchaodao.
Chaotism
Chaotism is the worship of forces which are seen to be agents of the Frigid Chaos. This does not always mean the forces who are worshipped are classified as Dimonigo, but they are always seen as direct forces of Chaos in Micras. This is one of the most deplorable evils according to Flemic Law, and is punishable by immediate and swift execution in Caradia. The practice was almost entirely unheard of in Caradia because of the strong Flemic presence, but recent studies of foreign culture reveal the cult to exist in certain regions of the world.
