Olvana Mission

The Olvana Mission (OM) is a group of Christian missionaries whose mission is to make the lives of rural Olvaneses better while converting them to Christianity. The Olvanese central government is not extreme in its denunciation of religion, and will generally allow free religious practice as long as those practicing their faith do not seek to use it as a means to overturn the current political structure. The OM is on the cusp of going from a group tolerated by the Olvana government to one that the OCP will seek to suppress. John Henry Brown from Europe founded the OCP when he arrived in the extreme northeastern part of Olvana ten years ago. At the time, Brown was a 30-year old self-proclaimed missionary who just wanted to help the Olvanese people improve their lives. Brown grew up in a European commune whose purpose was to worship God in an agricultural setting. Brown learned to farm at an early age and in the commune learned all sorts of skills necessary to survive in nature without many resources. When Brown was 20 years of age, he left the commune to spread his vision of God’s work, working his way east before eventually arriving in northeastern Olvana. Brown has taught the Olvana people better farming techniques, help dig wells for improved access to water, taught better hygiene to reduce sickness, and simple ways to improve their life while trying to convert them to his brand of Christianity. While Brown may seem peaceful, he will defend himself and his supporters with force because he believes his cause is just. Brown’s supporters will not give him away, but his presence bringing Christianity to the Olvanese people brings him in conflict not only with the Olvana central government so far away, but with the Yellow Sashes and OJI as well. Brown and the OCP do not normally attack other groups, but will not hesitate to defend what he is trying to build
