Priestly Hierarchy

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.

The Concilly Councillors are a group of well-learned Celates who are responsible for overseeing the vast bureaucracy of the Unionist College. Due to the prestige associated with bei9ng a Concilly Councillor, this position also suffers from political intrigue, with various faction plotting to place, or keep, their preferred Celates on the council. 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.

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.

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.

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.

+**Burial and Caretakers/Nuns
-*Clandestine Bases are areas in Regalia which function as bases for Criminal groups. Clandestine Bases only include regions which are clearly marked on the Clandestine Base Application thread found [https://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/clandestine-base-application.79824/ here].
+* Dogartan Order of the Pious Brothers
-*Before a Raid can begin, both the Raiding party and the Clandestine Base Owner '''must''' agree on a time OOCly in order to coordinate between both groups.
+**Monks/Friars
-**A reschedule for a raid is able to be called no later than 2 hours before the agreed upon time.
+* Crimson Order of the Holy Inquisition
-*Once a time is agreed upon, both the Raid Leader and the Clandestine Base Owner '''must''' create separate ticket in the [https://www.massivecraft.com/discord-roleplay Massivecraft Community Discord] and have Lore Staff members moderate the Raid.
+**Secret Service
-**Under no circumstances may a Raid be conducted without Lore Staff members present to moderate.
+* White Order of the Helerian Guard
-**In this ticket, a list of all participant character apps must be made prior to the raid.
+**Military
-*Each member of the Raiding party and Clandestine group must have a unique aspect of their minecraft skin to indicate membership to a group. This may be as simple as a green armband worn on the upper arm, or an entire set of armor.
-**Furthermore, Raiding parties must have the '''ATK''' designation in their character nickname, and Defending parties must have the '''DEF''' designation in theirs.

+*Feast of Love, Valentine's Day
-*As a Clandestine Group or Raiding Party, you may not leave roleplay for 30 minutes following a raid or base attack. In order to avoid convenient logging after an attack to prevent a counter-attack, you must remain in-roleplay for 30 minutes after returning to your base of operations or a safe area, to allow the party you’ve attacked to attempt a counter-attack if they so desire. Logging out after a raid or base attack without a reasonable amount of time to allow for a counter-attack is counted as god-rp and should be reported as such if it occurs.
+**Duh
-*It should be noted that [[Siege Engines]] cannot be utilized in Clandestine raids, as they are difficult to set up and are too large to be used in areas such as the Regalian Sewers.
+*Feast of all Souls, Halloween/Day of the Dead/
-'''Final Note:''' It should be noted that all information in planning a Clandestine Raid is fully OOC knowledge. Defenders cannot make preliminary defenses ahead of time '''unless''' one of their members succeeded in learning about the raid fully IC.
