The Natural Order
Everything in this world is a member of a caste. The higher castes rule over the lower ones, in order to preserve the natural balance. From the lowest to the highest, this are the castes:
Things
Those that are. They make up all the material things in the world, and provide it with substance.
Beings
Those that live. They make up all the moving things in the world, and provide it with life.
Animals
Those that sense. They make up all the sensing things in the world, and provide men with their work, products and ultimately with their mortal vessels.
Humanity
Those that feel. They make up all the feeling beings, that is, the men. They work under the leadership of their superiors to ensure the Gods way is preserved.
Nobility
Those that reason. They make up all the noble blooded men, whose divine mandate gave them the ability to reason and govern their passions. Their task is to guide humanity towards the Gods way, and be an example for their inferiors.
Champions
Those who bring divinity upon the world. They are a select group of divinely-touched men who have came into closer communion with the spiritual world. They serve as the bridge to the Spirits, to have the will of the Gods known.
The Spiritual Order
Like the natural world, the spiritual has its own order. There are castes that determine their spiritual powers, and the worship that its due to them by the mortals. From the lowest to the highest, this are the castes:
Ancestors
Those who watch over their living offspring, even after their deaths. Even the commoners have ancestors, who they ought to pay the due respect. The ancestors do not intervene directly in the human affairs, but they are able to grant inhuman courage and determination to their blessed ones, or to similarly curse those who annoy them.
Lower Spirits
They are the lowest of the divine beings and a tool of the Gods. They are guardians of divine places and objects in the mortal realm, and the dealings with them are not advised but to the proficient and spiritually trained ones, for they might be extremely dangerous to the common mind and heart.
Saints
The Heroes who have passed away and transcended mortality, who occasionally return to grant their graces upon the world. They live in the Solar Realm along with the rest of the higher divine beings, enjoying the after-life of the Heroes.
Higher Spirits
The highest grade of divine presence a human mind can bear to meet, only the highest spiritual authorities have contact with such beings. They are the messengers of the Gods, who enforce their will.
Gods
The divine ones, creators and rulers of all. Their will is obscure for us simple minds, but through effort and the aid of those above us we are able to get hints of it. These we follow.
