Church of Elwynn (Archdiocese of Yaanek)
The Archdiocese of Yaanek, incorporated as the Church of Elwynn (Archdiocese of Yaanek), was formed after the Schism of 1699, following Elwynnese authorities' Edict of Correction upon the church, which forced a monotheistic cosmology upon the Church of Elwynn in Elwynn, and seizure of holy texts. Dioceses of the Church of Elwynn outside Elwynn called for a synod in Shirekeep, during which they decided that an Archdiocese of Yaanek be formed to govern the Church outside Elwynn. The Archdiocese of Yaanek regards the Church of Elwynn (in Elwynn) as both heretical and schismatic. From the date of the Edict of Correction and onwards, the heretical/schismatic church's ordinations are considered invalid and unlawful.
The Archdiocese of Yaanek is a new diocese of the Church of Elwynn, so established and named to ensure that no existing diocese of the Church of Elwynn was given superiority. Mount Yaanek is considered the physical location of the resting spirit of the goddess Elwynn.
