The Patriarchate of Tengaria (Tengarian: Патриаршия на Тенгария or Patriarshiya na Tengariya), otherwise known as the Tengarian Episemialist Church, is an Tengarian rite Episemialist church and the established church of Tengaria. It is one of the autocephalous churches of the larger communion of the Episemialist Church. It is also the oldest of the junior Patriarchates of Episemialism and the first Patriarch of a whole people rather than tied to a city, after earning recognition from the Ecumenical Patriachate of Arciluco during the rise of the Grand Principality of Tengaria around the year 1000. Thus, it is the most senior of the Patriarchs after Arciluco and It is governed by the Patriarch of Tengaria, Angel V, and the Holy Synod of Tengaria. It has played a significant force in Tengarian politics throughout the Empire of Tengaria and currently the Kovachev era. It is known for being one of the more strictly rigid and conservative of the Episemialist Churches.
