Veritas Vincit/Ranks

The non leadership ranks of the church is broken down as follows:

• Observer- Observers have joined the church, but are not yet decided if they believe the truth laid out before them. Observers take little part in the affairs of the church, and their main purpose is to decide rather or not they want to dedicate themselves to the Veritas Vincit.

• Supporters- Supporters are only a step up from observers. They have decided they want to support the church but not dedicat themselves fully to it. Each month the supporters are required to give 15 gold to the church.

• Common Members- Common Members are the adventures who have shown themselves worthy of serving the church.

• Soldiers of Truth and Justice- This rank is made up of adventures who have dedicated themselves to fighting the evils of the world. The main job of the soldiers are to hunt out the undead and monster plagues, showing no fear even when facing the champions of these beast.

• Artificer- This rank is for adventures who have dedicated themselves to collecting sacred artifacts for the church. Once found they turn them into the Holy Artificer, who will reward them for their effort. Artificers may also be assigned to get the sacred items of the church repaired.
