Welcome, anyone who cares, to a Q&A session for the setting of Exorcism Quest! In this thread, I'll be providing information on the backstory and setting of Exorcism Quest to anyone who's interested! To begin with, I'll explain the basics of the setting.
Warning: Big ol' Explanation. Tl;dr will be provided if you don't want to read exposition.
In the world of Exorcism Quest, the world ran more or less the way the real world did. However, one day, the very fabric of the world tore. Nobody's sure how it happened, but when it did, the physical world and the afterlife became inexorably linked.
This moment is known as "The Weakening". In the wake of The Weakening, four beings appeared before the people of the world, and made an announcment.
These were the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. They claimed to be the true powers of the Afterlife, and protectors of the Spirit World. Though before they'd practiced isolation from the physical world, they promised to help protect both worlds from unwanted intruders.
To do so, they established four Great Churches, to War, Conquest, Famine and Death. Each church offered a power to its most devoted adherents, and this began the tradition of Exorcists, mortals empowered to do combat with even the most dangerous of Spirits.
Tl;dr: The physical and spirit world got linked way in the past. The Four Horsemen claimed to be the rulers of the Spirit World, and offered Humanity a way to fight against Spirit intruders. These protectors of humanity are Exorcists.
Now then, I'm perfectly open to answer any questions people may have about the setting!

Aren't the Four Horsemen supposed to be cast into the Abyss?

Not in this setting. They're pretty much the Guardians of Heaven in this setting. It's divided into four segments, based on personality and/or faith, and the Horsemen guard one of those four segments.
They've claimed repeatedly to not actually be God/Gods. But they refuse to say who's in charge.
The Churches they run were originally a method to train Exorcists, but at this point they've been used for full-out worship of the Horsemen.

Why don't they combine to form one large organization?
>>
>>46273379
Because there's a bit of sibling rivalry amongst the Horsemen. They refuse to admit it, but they secretly believe their Exorcism Methods are the best, and refuse to hear otherwise.
The Churches obviously collaborate, but due to some doctrine (which is barely disguised "NO FUCK YOU FAMINE MAGIC IS THE BEST NOT BRUTE FORCE"), they're more or less seperate.

How do exorcism's work?
>>
>>46273611
Despite the name, Exorcists don't do actual exorcisms. Instead, they literally fight the Spirits.
Each of the Churches has a different combat method, which mostly just depend on the Horseman the Exorcist worships. The methods are as follows...
War: Use of Artifacts
Conquest: Powerful magic
Famine: Brute strength
Death: Jack-of-all-Trades

You should have ran your quest instead of doing an interview.

Probably. Let's just call this a bust and pretend it never happened.
