Congrige de Luna
Congrige De Luna or "The coven of the Moon" are a church dedicated to the Pentaverate Goddess of the moon. Like her 5 faces the church has 5 organizational arms and a 6th administrative arm to act as the Neutral leaders of the collective.
Worshipers of the Congrige wither devote their time and worship to one goddess, or worship all 5 as the Congrige in total. Priests (Male), Priestesses (Female) and Acolytes (Non Binary) of Luna all work with one another in harmony with the natural cycles of the moon to achieve the congrige's goals.
The Coven is the primary religion of the Pentagramma Collective, who have pledges many of their families to various aspects of Luna. Because of the fluid nature of the Moon and her faces there are no champions of the Congrige, instead they bolster their ranks with Witches dedicated to the moon. These Striga have powerful personal relationships with the Moon that place them on a different tier than the other Congregants.

Priesthood
The Priesthood of Luna is separated into two main categories and 6 major branches.
Priest (M)/Priestess (F)/Acolyte (NB) - The clerics of the congrige, these make the bulk of the religious members of the church. They can be dedicated to a single aspect or to Luna as the 5 in 1 Neutral goddess of the moon. This changes the Domains that they gain access to.
Striga - Additionally the church recognizes Witches with the Moon patron as members of the church, and powerful casters with a direct connection to the great lady. More than other 5 in 1 worshipers these witches know that each face of the moon has a different personality and often are careful to time their requests to appeal to the face that would be easiest to sway.

- Suanna (NG) Heal - NG, N
- Followers of the Suanna - The gibbous moon are the wayfinders and tale singers of the Congrige, leading the followers in ritual and dance and song. These are the "morale officers" of the church and often focus as healers both mental and physically.
- Sabrinna (CN) Harm - CN, N
- Followers of the Full moon understand the chaotic nature of all things and revere Sabrinna for her wild and maddening ways. They are the ones who draw strength from their madness and interpret the dreams and visions that come from the unfiltered light of the mothers.

- Followers of the 5 in 1 goddess act as the administrators and leaders of the church. The white order produces the logistical and support staff that maintain the church groves and diplomatic relationships between the church and act as a final arbiter on matters of faith. The High Priest/Priestess/Acolyte is alway chosen from the Lunar order and often candiates for leadership will be asked to leave their previous order to embrace the moon as a whole before being granted such power.
Granted Divine Powers
The Moon is thought to be a single goddess with five aspects and so five seperate arms to the church. Each of these venerates a specific cycle of the moon and during that moon's phase they may memorize and use divine lance. True Neutral followers of Luna instead can chose to not follow a single aspect but venerate all 5 as a True Neutral Pentaverate
