A distant land where nothing was thought to stir - until now.

Priesthood

Post by Vilhelm Benkern »

The religion of Khalypsil, the followers of Drun, does not maintain a separate priesthood. All adherents of the faith are 'priests' unless excluded from performing community activities by bishops under the criminal law. There is therefore no conception of clerical celibacy, as all followers are encouraged to reproduce and fill the world with new followers. Repopulation was a vital goal of the movement at its inception, though now it has begun to put a strain on resources.

Instead, Promisors and Clerical Clerks exclude themselves from the priesthood by taking an oath of celibacy, to focus on the needs of the wider community and not their own families. The senior Clerical Clerks also voluntarily castrate themselves to ensure the bureaucracy does not serve its own ends.
