Mountain Star
The religion of the Mountain Star is a very ancient religion.
It is not just the religion of Batan, but it is actually Batan in its fullest extent. The religious order is the nation-state and the holy land is the land of Batan.
The lakeside temple in Zalla Gate is one of the largest Temple structure for the Morning Star Religion and is often copied in its architecture with a large central pagoda structure for general assemblies.
Structure
The Structure of the organisation is a 4 tier system.
The Female Head of the organisation is called the Duci Leese.
The 2nd rank is the council of 40. They are given the title of "Custodians". The 40 Highest members of the Mountain Star operate as a church governing body and as a de facto parliament for Batan, as they set rules for a society that become religious cannon. If the council is tied on any issue the Duci Leese can cast a deciding vote.
The 3rd rank in the organisation is the "Leader" and is the head of every temple complex.
The 4th rank is the "Keepers" who are record keepers in the temples and in the church as a whole.
Public Agenda
As the religious order believes in life eternal and that there is a core "Presence" within all bodies and this is transferred into another entity after we pass, they promote respect for all life and the nurturing of nature.
Technological Level
The most famous contribution to Science of the Morning Star organisation is the creation of the Star Calendar and the astronomical observations associated with this.
