The Church of the Highpriest
editThe Highpriest's Church was the most prolific religious dogma in The Lands of the Highpriest. It had its roots in the traditional rites of sun-worship and veneration of the Pellucid Pantheon. Those in the demesne who did not adhere to the church's teachings or who recognized false or dead deities were called by the pejorative pagan. In order to combat pagan dogma, the Highpriest employed the Judges.
The church administered its tribunes (called Dioceses) by means of the Dicasterial See, a curia of episcopal deacons and ministers who ruled individual parishes and answered directly to the Supreme Pontiff, who himself was directly appointed by the Highpriest.
Other branches of the Church included the Sacerdotal Depository, which was the central bank of the demesne.
