Bengtist Stift

Bengtist Stift is a religious order, and cultural entity mainly present in Vittmark. Unlike other Orkanan clergy in Vittmark, the Bengtists are affiliated with the Mennity Orkanan Mennity of Vanlösa, making it a non-interventionist cult of Orkanan. The stift is named after its founder, Exemplar Bengt Olofsson. Between 7568 and 7611, the Bengtist Stift was even a non-territorial member state of Vittmark with its own representation in parliament and senate (House of State). These days, the Bengtists have two seats in the People's House instead.

The Bengtists are primarily known as the caretakers of the wild, migrating trunkbulls in the mountains and high-altitude plains of northern Stoldavia. There are about 5,000 followers registered among 14 herds. Most Bengtists practice a nomadic lifestyle, safeguarding the living environment of the wild trunkbulls. They also provide practical services using domesticated animals as well as spiritual guidance. Despite belonging to a different branch of Orkanan, the stationary Mellanhand population tends to welcome the Bengtists.

The Bengtists have their headquarters at the mountain recluse Vinsebo in Gäddedevida, Inälvsdalen Hundred, Sörmark, as well as a permanent representation in Östervallen. .
