Hierarchy & Leadership
The sect is lead by the Siblings, those that were blood-sisters and -brothers while
Myryem was alive. These went on to find pupils, students, and followers were they could.
The faith is decentralized (It only coming into being after
Myryem's Ascension) with each Sibling doing what is right in their eyes when it comes to the great crusade to rid orcs from the world. Usually, this comes in 2 flavors: founding a monestary or gathering a popular following.
Monestaries are used to train the faithful for the up coming orc purges while popular followings are used to gain political power in the hopes of rallying the
Vipling warlords against the orcs.
