Cults

This is practical information on the religious life, shared by Disciples and higher ranked members of the religion.

Overview

Aeheris Pyrism is a polytheistic religion consisting of many Gods and Goddesses. It is not uncommon for a Pyrist to have a patron Deity and to focus their worship on this Diety. Rather than fight this natural occurance, the Church has chosen to embrace it and allow the formation of official cults within the church.

Organization

The first, central and ruling cult of Aethris Pyrism is the Cult of Fire. The Cult of Fire, exceptionally, focuses on the worship of all the gods and goddesses. All Pyrists start as members of the Cult of Fire and have the option of joining other cults once they are no longer Aspirants. The head of Aetheris Pyrism is also the head of the Cult of Fire. The Cult of Fire is also responsible for maintaining all church property. This task is given to the Keeper of Fire, an elder chosen by the Vicar of Fire. Pyrists are assumed to belong to the Cult of Fire unless they join another cult.

Each additional cult is lead by a Priest dedicated to the cults patron Diety. This cult leader is an Elder of the faith and will be known as Vicar of Diety and act as an authprity within their cult and the Church as a whole. While a priest of follower of a specific diety does indeed maintain a strong focus, none forget that it is but one of many dieties within the Pyrist pantheoneo.
