Recently I woke up from a dream with the phrase “The Monorthodox” ringing in my head.
What do you think The Monorthodox is?

It’s a book, each page of which has a color plate of the proper way to worship Asmodeus. As you read it, your body unknowingly takes on the positions illustrated in the book. If you read the whole thing, you unintentionally summon a devil.
There is only one way for Modrons to worship their god (I forget which way it is, though). There are, of course, some hidden heretics who oppose the Monorthodox. They are called the Dihedrons.
Battle chant of the Hobgoblin Clerics:
“The strong shall serve the MONORTHODOX
Our scourges flay the land’s flesh.
Nomog-Geaya’s flail shall thresh
the weaklings from the MONORTHODOX.”
Peculiar scansion and ABBA rhyme structure are among the most potent weapons of the Hobgoblin Clerics.

It appears to be a real word. At least, a word that has actually been used: http://cgi.ebay.com/Yankee-Red-Monorthodox-Marxism-Liberal-America-/350409832041
