Church of Robanus (Orthodox)
The church of Robanus has one of the largest world spanning organizations of any church on Meaghana. Each church of Robanus is connected to all others, and ultimately overseen by the Most Dread Patriarch.
Structure
The Ranks of the Church of Robanus are very rigid and are regulated and maintained at every level of the faith.
Adept: This is the most basic servant of Robanus. Adepts are actually of the Adept NPC class and commonly are the overseers of graveyards, mausoleums and other burial sites. An adept cannot rise any higher in the service of Robanus.
Initiate: An initiate is the lowest ranked Cleric of the Dread lord. Many clerics, particularly adventuring clerics will remain Initiates their entire life. An initiate is expected to report to the temples of the Dread Lord in any place they visit.
Priest: A priest is the overseer of a single temple or shrine to Robanus. It is his responsibility to command the local Initiates and Adepts in how they might best serve the Dread Lord.
Inquisitor: The next rank of the church is the Inquisitor. While not a stable part of the church hierarchy, the Inquisitors can command the obedience of those below them, and report to those above. All Daemonslayers can considered Inquisitors.
Dark Bishop: The Dark Bishops of Robanus oversee all church activity in a particular area, usually less than 1000 square miles. They report directly to the Dread Archbishops.
Dread Archbishops: The Dread Archbishops of Robanus oversee the activities of the church within the major countries of each continent. They report to the Dark Ravens of the Church.
