Temple Hierarchy
Last updated 8/15/2015.
The hierarchy of the Temple in Tranquility was officially put in place several decades after the Blight ended, though an official date was never recorded. Those wishing to dedicate their life to the worship and service of the Lady become students where they live in the Acolyte Village and begin their training in the magic arts. Once seasoned, a student becomes an acolyte and may begin training new students as proteges. Acolytes work hard to maintain the Temple as to keep Tranquility beautiful. A well seasoned acolyte who's proven his or her devotion can then become a priest or priestess. Once this level is obtained, they may go out into the Lands of Order on their own to hold services, prayer meetings, or do any number of other good deeds in the Lady's name. Priest is the highest level in the Temple any male can obtain. The elves and the faeries each have their own high priestess: a priestess who resides in their tribes territory and acts as the spiritual leader for the race. Each of the tribes is represented by a seryan. The seryans all serve as council to the Grand Seryan, who acts as the ultimate authority and official voice of the Lady in the mortal world.
