===Priestly Hierarchy===
{| class="wikitable"
Within the Unionist College exist several ranks of priests, otherwise known as Celates. These ranks hold various responsibilities within the College, and thus those with higher offices are consider the most versed in matters of theological and bureaucratic knowledge. Below is a list of all priestly ranks, in order of seniority:

*The '''Primae-Everian''' was the official head of the Unionist College, considered to be the Unionist equivalent of a pope. Their duties included presiding over Holy Diets (a gathering of Celates to discuss religious dogma) as well as serving as the chaplain of the Imperial Palace. The last Primae-Everian was Piete Kade, who was assassinated by radicals within the College for attempting to reconcile with the various Schisms. While the Emperor is able to appoint a new Primae-Everian, the Concilly Council has advised him to leave the position vacant, out of respect for the previous officeholder.

Despite this potential for corruption, Concilly Councillors are nevertheless very competent in their duties, as only those most theologically gifted can hope to be appointed to this position.

*The '''Arch-Everians''' are Celates who administer the most populous cities within the Regalian Empire, with their Celeries often including one of the Arch- or Grand- Temples of Unionism. Arch-Everians are highly influential figures, and often compete with the secular Dukes over authority within their cities (as the line between secular and religious boundaries starts to blur in these areas). Arch-Everians are formally appointed by the Primae-Everian on the recommendation of the Concilly Council, though it is well-known that the regional Duke also plays a notable role in suggesting their preferred candidate.
| A Sihai may choose to transform into the '''Common Dynasty Sihai''', with the following effects:
 
*They remain proportional to Ailor, but are shorter at between five and a half feet to five feet and eight inches tall.
*The '''Everians''' are senior-ranking Celates who oversee a collection of Celeries within a geographic area. The position is usually appointed by the local Duke or Count, and confirmed by the Concilly Council. Everians are often the highest rank achieved by Celates, as higher offices start to involve political games that remove well-meaning yet naive Celates from rising in the ranks.
*Their skin tone is pale and somewhat yellowish in complexion.
 
*They have an epicanthic fold in their brown eyes, giving them a more squinted appearance.
*The '''Celates''' are the standard rank of priest within the Unionist College, achieved after completing clerical training and becoming ordained by an Everian. Most priests remain Celates for life, though this lack of upward advancements is hardly met with frustration due to the fulfilling experiences most Celates have with the faithful. While higher ranks become more focused on administrative duties, Celates are more focused on the spiritual needs of Unionists, and so spend most of their time providing various services to others.
*They have black straight hair and minimal facial hair grown.
 
*Mentally, they have a personality change emphasizing logic and calm reasoning.
*The '''Lay Priests''' are not part of the Unionist College, or even considered clergy to begin with. Any Unionist can be a Lay Priest, which is an unofficial title given to those who are very knowledgeable about Unionism, and assist the Celates with their duties. There is no formal training required, though many Lay Priests often study Unionist theology in order to better assist their fellow Unionists. As there are no Celates within the Guided Unionist community, Lay Priests are responsible for overseeing community maintenance of the local Temples and guiding spiritual discussions.

*Their head is bear/cat like in appearance, with a short whiskered snout covered in white fur patches, fluffy pointed white ears, and two rust brown stripes running from their eyes to their chin.
*They have a fluffy, soft, silky tail about the length of their back with lighter colors than the rest of their fur, with the same rust brown striped spanning along its length.
*Mentally, they emphasize affection, gregariousness, and leisure, but are cowardly and strive to avoid confrontations and conflict.

*They have a tail which dangles a little past their knees.
*Their head appears more canine in appearance, with pointy ears and a variety of stripes on their faces.
*Females may develop an abdominal pouch of skin when they have given birth, and may use it to carry their baby around in until they can walk on their own, after which it retracts.
*Mentally, their personalities are far more flexible, and are as such varied by individual.
