The [[Hierocracy]] began when the [[Vorinism|Vorin Church]] decided to conquer the world and run the government rather than just provide spiritual guidance.{{book ref|sa1|36}} They claimed their conquering was for the good of the people. Some of the most powerful ardents claimed to have visions from the [[Almighty]], which they used to solidify their rule and obfuscate their religion. One of their main goals was to destroy knowledge of the failures of Vorinism, including [[Shadesmar]], the [[Knights Radiant]], and the [[Recreance]].{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa1|45}} They were primarily successful, as even the major libraries on Roshar are missing this information. Before the Hierocracy could spread to the west, the [[Sunmaker]] united the princedoms of [[Alethkar]] to drive out the HIerocracy.{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa1|24}} They fought in many epic battles the likes of which have not been seen since in what came to be known as the [[War of Loss]].{{book ref|sa1|52}} The Sunmaker successfully cast down the Hierocracy and stated the visions were a fraud. The central leadership of the church was destroyed and split into mostly independent devotaries.{{book ref|sa1|33}}{{book ref|sa1|36}}
