The Temple Faction (神殿派, Shinden-ha) was one of two major political groups in the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia and is shown most prominently in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2.
Information
The Temple Faction was one of the blocs within the aristocracy of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. It supports the absolute rule of High Priest Hikusaak, and so is at odds with the People's Faction, which aims for both divine rule by the temple and rule by the citizenry. Behind the scenes there were many a power struggle between the two.
Zaj Quiroz, under the alias of Thanatos Crawford, would eventually become the head of the Temple Faction in his efforts to extract revenge against Harmonia.
