Church Universal and Triumphant (CUT)
- Sethaz: Prophet of the CUT at the time of Sunrise Lands. Sethaz is a vicious man who is known to enjoy violence and death. He sees himself as the “Scourge of God” sent to rid the Earth of those who have sinned. He experiences strange visions, for example knowing his father had died even though he was miles away from him, and like Juniper may or may not use magic. He fears Rudi and seeks to kill him before he completes his quest. Some characters believe he is being influenced by a dark power.
- Joseph Kuttner: High Seeker of the CUT. Kuttner is a personal agent of Sethaz and once infiltrated the government of Iowa so as to get them to send him on Ingolf’s expedition to the eastern death zones. Kuttner lost his eye to a vengeful Ingolf. He was later tasked to track down Rudi and kill him, but was killed himself.
- Major Graber: Officer in the Sword of the Prophet, the elite of CUT. Originally he was an orphan who was raised by CUT to be a soldier. He is tasked by Sethaz after the fall of Twin Falls to track down and kill Rudi. Though a firm believer in his faith he sometimes expresses doubts about the role of the High Seekers and is bothered by the fact that Rudi did not kill him when he had the chance.

Famous quotes containing the words church, universal and/or triumphant:
“I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“By the “mud-sill” theory it is assumed that labor and education are incompatible; and any practical combination of them impossible. According to that theory, a blind horse upon a tread-mill, is a perfect illustration of what a laborer should be—all the better for being blind, that he could not tread out of place, or kick understandingly.... Free labor insists on universal education.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“All over France, in every city there stand cathedrals like this one, triumphant monuments of the past. They tower over the homes of our people like mighty guardians, keeping alive the invincible faith of the Christian. Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
