The Faith's Hosts, officially the Hosts of the Holy Faith in Our Sixteen Gods were a popular movement and an alliance of rebel forces founded and organized by Theiarch Zarkeon in Achysia after the fall of the Achysian Monarchy. The Theiarch founded and organized peasant armies with the aim of fighting the Kathic Republic and their puppet regime, the Achysian Republic, and with the ultimate objective of restoring the absolutist Radiant Crown and liberating the Haliarchy. The hostites of the Faith were mostly peasants, led by priests who encouraged their religious loyalty in order to convince them to resist Kathia and her client republics.

Though initially only formed by poorly armed and trained bands of peasants, the Faith's Hosts slowly turned into an organized army as the war progressed, receiving weapons and funding from the Faith and the other enemies of Kathia. Never able to match the Kathic forces in terms of tactics and prowess, the hostites always compensated for their weakness through sheer fanaticism.
