Elder of Modein

An Elder of Modein is an honorary title in the Twained Empire that is given to the highest ranking member of the Tyr'ian Church. The chosen Elder is elected by the council of the Sanguine Six after a collective meditation ritual where they lock themselves in a air tight room for 7 days and chant endlessly The Elder Text of Tyr  until Tyr gives them visions of who the new Elder is. Afterwards they award the title and the chosen one (often a man of already high faith and stature within the community) is sent to aid the Twained King in decision making.
The current Elder, Melder has served for 63 years and has become an icon for the slums of Reun as he can often be found working together with the local faith (often Pelor and Illmater organizations that help feed the poor). He is a devout idealist and works together with Dalas Duin the Second to equalize the current economic crisis. Melder used to live in the slums and was a high ranking member of an early union uprising before the Sanguine Six chose him to be the Elder.
