Saint Christopher's

Saint Christopher's, sometimes known as the Duchy of New Aquitane, is a Senyan city and enclave in the Green of north-west Apollonia. Originally a Landish duchy (the duchy of Oslette and New Aquitane) vested in Rashid Arsalani, it fell to the Green after Landingberg's collapse in 1548 AN, before being annexed by Natopia in. In 1681 AN, Natopia transferred the territory to Senya.

Religion

The people of New Aquitane is a deeply religious people, with the Church and See of Saint Christopher (as the church in New Aquitane is called) closely aligned in theology and rites of the Alexandrian church. During the time when barbarians horded the land of New Aquitane, Alexandrian missionaries, most of whom from San Martin, provided the spiritual as well as material support and guidance for the people. Churches were used as shelters during the sackings of cities and villages by barbarians and terrorists. The church is strong with the New Aquitanians.

Saint Christopher, in Nazarene hagiology, is the patron saint of travellers, and he is also the patron saint of New Aquitane. His motto, "protect us", is inscribed on the coat of arms of the duchy, in the language of the Alexandrian priests who protected the people, in the names of Saint Christopher and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lately other religions have come to New Aquitane. With the incorporation of the duchy to Natopia, a Bovic chapel was established in Saint Christopher to cater for immigrants from Natopian Tapfer who come to work for in the civil service in New Aquitane.

Siseranism has a presence too. After a deal was signed with the Prince of Walstadt, Duke Jonathan erected a temple in honour of Sisera. It's an imposing building and includes what could best be described as a Siseran nunnery. Outside the temple grounds, Siseranism seems not to make its presence very loud (except that the temple can be seen all over Saint Christopher's).
