Allies and Enemies
Hypothetically, cults of Belinik are allied with the Great White Church, but his cult's power is low among the Rjurik people so this has little practical effect.
The various cults of Avani and Ruornil are the prime enemies. Due to close proximity and competition for resources cults of Erik often come into conflict with the Great White Church.
