The Medical Officer can both be a Guard, or a civilian, and grants access to all parts of the prison, but not armor and weapon permits, nor the right to enforce the law. This position can freely be hired and fired by the Lord Commander and is considered part of the Lord Commander's cabinet (so if a new Commander is voted in, this position is expected to be vacated for someone else).

===Priestly Hierarchy===
| colspan="2" style="background-color:white;" |
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 Crafts Requisition Officer (Crafts Officer for short) is responsible for managing the businesses and logistics of the Guard. This can include a forge that works for the guards, as well as managing the Artifact Storage of the Guard. The Crafts Officer should also OOC communicate with the World Staff when new Guard Offices and Rooms are required. They should also manage the report storage for Crimes and bring forth documentation during trials where necessary. The Crafts Officer also manages demolition experts, when they are required in the field, to demolish an entryway through either explosives or battering ram. The Crafts Officer can both be a Guard, or a civilian, and grants access to all parts of the prison, but not armor and weapon permits, nor the right to enforce the law. This position can freely be hired and fired by the Lord Commander and is considered part of the Lord Commander's cabinet (so if a new Commander is voted in, this position is expected to be vacated for someone else).

'''Reeve's Office'''


Baron Carl von Bepsingen
*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.


Vacant Clerk
*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.


Vacant Clerk
*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.
| colspan="2" style="background-color:white;" |
The Reeve's Office is responsible for managing guard-to-guard, guard-tp-commander, guard-to-civilian and all reverse conflicts that may arise, but also acts as a reporting point for any Guard abuse, violation of Guard rules, or general misbehavior from anyone beholden to the Guard. The Reeve's Office is always appointed by the Emperor, but they may have up to 2 Clerks that work at the Reeve's Office to delegate work towards, those two are appointed by the Lord Commander. The Reeve's Office is inherently a conciliatory institution meaning that, even though the Reeve has the right to suspend Guards for investigation, they primarily work to compromise and resolve issues, instead of outright punishing them. Punishment is dealt with separately through Court Martial matters sent to the Military Commissioner, who is beholden to the Lord Chancellor.

*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.


Schooling is a [[Proficiency#Point-Buy|Point-Buy]] mechanic that allows a Character to have attended a major academy or institution somewhere in the world and gotten an education there. Each school costs 3 Proficiency Points to have attended. When you purchase a pack, specify which School of that pack you attended on your Character Application. Attending a school gives a Character the bragging right of having gone there, but also a unique mechanic that can be used in Progressions to reflect their higher education, and a function that can be used in-game. Whether or not a school blocks students is indicated by the 'Open' or 'Only' next to its name. Open means anyone can go. Only means only the Race or Culture that runs the school can go. There is no cap on how many schools your Character can have attended, although it should make sense in the Backstory you have written up for them. Some packs can be bought multiple times, to get more schools of that pack, but this doesn't apply to all packs. Check the descriptions for more information.
*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.

Knights who wish to learn these School Types may invest the 3 points per Type where applicable, but cannot attend any other schools in the same Type category.
