The Diocese of Huyenkula is a diocese of the Church of Elwynn (Archdiocese of Yaanek), established in 1500 AN as subordinate to the Church of Elwynn's Archdiocese of Eliria, and centred at the Cathedral of Huyenkula in Huyenkula. It is a large diocese in terms of area, covering the entirety of the Hurmu territory (including its condominiums), as well all of Lyrica and Eura. In 1699, the Diocese of Huyenkula changed allegiance from the Archdiocese of Eliria to the Archdiocese of Yaanek as a result of the Schism of 1699.

Euran developments

In late 1692, the faithful of the Church of Elwynn in Eura, via the Imperial Constancian Embassy in Vesüha, hand-delivered a petition signed by hundreds (and perhaps most importantly, with a handwritten endorsement of the Autokrator of Constancia on an official document) to establish a church in Eura, specifically recommending the city of Beauharnais in the region of Alduria in the Federation of Alduria-Wechua be considered a suitable location, and that funds were already being raised for its establishment. Furthermore, within the Imperial State of Constancia, the faithful had organized into an association duly chartered under the law, with chapters everywhere in Constancia, as well as an official document from the office of the Autokrator of Constancia guaranteeing their liberties and free worship, provided such acts were not in contravention to Imperial Constancian law or good order and customs.

Following the letter of the faithful, Sagart Milo Enujohanenion travelled down to Aqaba to meet with the Autokrator and monitor the legal situation of the Diocese in Constancia and Nouvelle Alexandrie. He also met with members of the faithful. The Sagart proposed to build one church in Constancian territory too and sought the Autokrator's recommendation for it. A church was inaugurated in Aqaba in 1693, with funds raised via donations of the faithful. Following the Schism of 1699, the church in Aqaba was subsequently occupied by a detachment of troops from the 1634th Jörmungandr Division, a formation of the Honourable Company in Constancian service. Acting on the direct orders of Sarah Dravot-Osman, whose concern for the affairs and going-ons of Aqaba were legendary in the city, a proclamation read out by the Taxiarchos of the 1668th (Timūr al-Osman Taraghay) Brigade declared that, by siding with a schismatic entity that was itself an agent of a renegade province of Elwynn and an enemy therefore of the Raspur Pact, the Church had acted in contravention of good order and forgone the protection of the secular powers. Accordingly the clergy were arrested and arrangements made for their deportation to Chryse while the church-building and its contents were placed in the care of a presbyter pending the dispatch of a replacement by the authorities in Ardashirshahr.
