Arriving on the islands, he took up a job doing what he knew best - farming. Within a settlement to the west of the [[City of Stone Bay]], he planted great fields of wheat and potatoes to supply the residents with food and make a meager living. It was not until a witch within the woods of Orlan whipped a great deal of the small-folk into a frenzy did Sillas' journey truly begin in Kara. This witch convinced a number of Karans to steal from the aristocracy of Stone Bay, which lead to the arrest of Sillas. Charged with an engorged number of crimes within an ecclesiastical court, [[Boris Bejewelled Johnson]] found him guilty and punished him with a sentence that would grow to be rather ironic: never becoming a citizen of Stone Bay, and never joining the Church of the Deep. | Arriving on the islands, he took up a job doing what he knew best - farming.

Months later, a dwarf by the name of [[Ordren Stoneheart]] stumbled upon Sillas Deepcreek and lead him to a temple within the wilds of Orlan. Within it, the Lord Mother, [[Sanaquas]], the Titan of the Sea, claimed him as a Chosen Hand of Sanaquas and charged him with growing Her faith. | Months later, a dwarf by the name of [[Ordren Stoneheart]] stumbled upon Sillas Deepcreek and lead him to a temple within the wilds of Orlan.

As tale of this spread, then Lord Mayor, [[Ulysses Mountbatten]], approached the elf regarding the Church of the Deep. After conversation, Sillas agreed to the position of Chaplain of the Deep. His friendship with Ulysess grew, and Sillas was appointed as the Deputy Mayor of the City of Stone Bay, and upon the reformation of Parliament, Prime Minister of Stone Bay. | ||

- | === The First Deepcreek Premiership === | ||
It was during his premiership that the Kingdom of Stone Bay went through a transformation. The factions within the government that enjoyed unquestioned power were sidelined, and ultimately removed from power itself. The city's gates opened for none-citizens to relocate within it and the beginnings of the City of Stone Bay we know today began. During his time as Prime Minister, Sillas reduced the power of the Court of the Deep, argued and won parliamentary representation for other faiths, and faithfully lead the government through the war against [[Arimaex Glisk]] - including bringing Ulysses Mountbatten to the side of those against the lich. His premiership lasted for 11 years of relative peace as the nation was reformed. Sillas' fingerprints are on many of the foundation changes, both structurally and culturally, that made way for the Kingdom of Stone Bay today. | |||
=== The Rise of the Church of the Deep === | |||
Throughout Sillas' premiership, the Church of the Deep did very little aside from open membership to all Karans, not just citizens of Stone Bay. Upon the resignation of government duty, Sillas returned to his pact with the Mother, Sanaquas, and focused his energies towards growing the faith. With a newly constructed chapel, Sillas preformed rituals to seal [[Arimaex's Tower of Bird Gander's]] and eventually asked the sea to claim it. It still resides off the coast of Orlan in its watery grave. In these early months of retirement, the first clergy was formed - made up of loyal acolytes, prominent Karans, and simply the rich. It was distinctly different than the Clergy of the modern kara, in which its body is made up of priests and paladins utterly devoted to the Church of the Deep itself. The Church's membership grew rapidly during this period, representing anywhere between 30% to 50% of the islands' population. In this time, the Church of the Deep was a prominent political body - with some muttering that Sillas' never truly stepped away from politicking, only stepped away from the responsibility of governing. During the [[Occupation of Stone Bay]], the Church of the Deep, lead by [[Fafnir Deepcreek]] in Sillas' absence, played a large role in the organization of the rebellion that would unseat the Archon, [[Macadier Maldore]]. This period included rituals to bring the Hag, Auntie [[Morgantha]] back to life, magics to cloud the minds of Karans working against the Archon so that he could not delve into their memories to find their plans, and ultimately, the short reign of Sillas I, a necessary seizing of the [[Prismarine Throne]] to utilize it in a successful attempt to return Ulysess Mountbatten, [[Blue Mountbatten]], and [[Arthur Justice,]] from their forced leave of Kara. | |||
During the war against the Colony of the [[Ehrtfort]], the Church of the Deep earned its position within the modern Kara as a religious body loyal to both the Throne and small folks of Kara. | |||
