The Rediscovery and History

Hierarchy of the Order

  • The Order has a complex hierarchy that is significantly comprised of two branches. The Julusi Priesthoood and The Cromian Monastic Order.
  • The Senior positions of the Order are comprised of members of both branches to ensure that all flows well within it.
    • Pontifex-head patron of the Order-responsible for overseeing and managing all aspects
    • Patriarch Julusix-2nd in command of the Order-shares overall responsibility for managing the Order
    • Patriarch Cromias-3rd in command-Head of the Cromian Monastic Order, the military arm of our Order
    • Patriarch Azrami-4th in command-Chiefly responsibly for being the mouthpiece of the Order, and spreading it across the lands.
    • Cardinal-Highest level of Senior Priesthood. Involved in decisions regarding the management of the Order
    • Archbishop-Extremely prestigious level within the Senior Priesthood
    • Major Archbishop-Lowest level of the senior leadership, still very exclusive.
    • Primate-A benefactor of extreme importance. Usually granted to Dukes who build temples.
    • Metropolitan-Any landowner who builds a shrine or temple on their lands. Also granted to high ranking members of the Cromian Monastic Order.
  • The Julusi Priesthood makes up the backbone of the Order. There are several positions to ascend to within the Priesthood.
    • Bishop-Highest ranking member of the Priesthood short of the leadership positions.
    • Coadjutor Bishop
    • Auxiliary Bishop
    • Vicar General
    • Episcopal Vicar
    • Vicar Forane
    • Archpriest
    • Monsignor
    • Pastor
    • Curates
    • Deacon
  • The military arm of our Order is called the Cromian Monastic Order. It is where most of our members who are not inclined to the priesthood will be. They will wage wars on our enemies, and are directly responsible for protecting the Church from the undead and monsters. Only the most valiant will rise through its ranks.
    • Exarch
    • Maphiran
    • Grand Master
    • Clavero
    • Comendadore
    • Grand Prior
    • Sacrista
    • Obrero
    • Sacred Knight
    • Military Ordinary
  • Outside of these two paths are our common parishioners. They too have a hierarchy: Convert, Advanced Initiate, Elevated Initiate, Initiate, and Neophyte Initiate. Any nonbelievers or outsiders are referred to as The Unwashed.
