Proposed New Rank Structure
- Archbishop of the Church: won't be possible. We don't have a prophet any more, so we can not change the rank of High Priest.
- Cardinal: in the normal cleric hierarchy, they are second to the pope. So do we want to place them below the Archbishops?
- Archbishop: an archdiocese was usually an important city, and the archdiocese ruled over smaller dioceses. So in BM, we are talking about the seize of a realm, with the Capital as Archdiocese.
- Guardian of the Church: Sartan is and always will be a warrior God, and great Swordfighting should be encouraged among its noble followers. I think this should remain the highest full-member rank.
- Last but not least, all with all I fear it will start to look too much like the Catholic structure, and I wouldn't want to just copy it.

- Archbishop might be possible I think as long as the existing title can be modified, though it might mean one holder has to demote themselves while the rank is changed.
- We could rank Cardinals above archbishop then. of course, we aren't catholic so why not keep it as proposed or just change the title to say, missionary or Deacon maybe.
- in the anglican tradition an archbishop is of an important city. such as the archbishops of york, canterbury and westminster. hence for IG purposes I would imagine an archdiocese would consist only of very important duchy cities and their regions such as Niel and any cities with a very large percentage of followers as well as a sizeable temple.
- we can put guardian as the highest member rank then
- since the title bishop has been used before and deacon and prior are already in use we borrow a lot of terms anyway. we have to get our terms from somewhere and as long as we're careful it shouldn't look overly modelled on christianity.
