Qualifications

A seeker is the 7th born son of a 7th born son born on a holy year. They get to live normally with their parents for 7 years, and if they've survived they're taken to the high temple to begin their study. While a seeker is never fully educated, the test is performed the summer of their 14th year during the seekers' meeting. If they succeed their title is official, if not they'll have to wait until the next one.

Career Progression

Every 7 years a meeting is held in the high temple. There all members are honored for dedicating another 7 to the divine. New seekers are tested during the meeting, and on rare occasions, someone gets appointed high seeker. A high seeker has been part of 7 meetings. More often memorials are held for the seekers who've passed away during the period.
