The Church of the Light

The Church of the Light is a religous organisation that worships the Tyrranean pantheon of light gods. Priests of this church represent all aspects of the light gods; from the strictness of Athin to the compassion of Aysa.
Temples of the Light are mostly a place of spiritual guidance. Every week they deliver sermons and teachings of the gods, to guide people onto the path they consider virtuous. Priests are always available to be spoken to, for individual guidance and support. Many people simply go into temples to pray in solitude.
Additionally, priests are usually brought in to oversee important events in a person's life, such as a birth, a wedding, or a funeral.
Priests also offer more tangible services. Not all priests are gifted with divine power, but even if they are non-magical, most priests have a good grasp of medicine and can be brought in as healers. Additionally, even non-magical priests can perform holy rituals, to bestow blessings or consecration. Those priests who have been gifted are highly sought after, and are usually trained in more active roles than just delivering sermons.
The Church of the Light often produces Inquisitors, Exorcists, Witch-Hunters, etc., who have an active role in fighting darkness, often engaging it directly. These priests wield divine power, and are treated with great respect.
Battle-Priests are members of the Church of the Light who fight on the battlefield of their respective nation. These priests can take any role from simply blessing the soldiers under their command, to directly smiting their foes with rays of light.
== Church Judgement ==
The Church of the Light plays an important role in the justice system of many nations, particularly the Kingdom of Whytehold.
In such systems, a court is made up of primarily three priests, one of Athin, one of Aysa, and one of Aldin. The Priest of Athin acts as judge, making the final decision on the judgement. The Priest of Aysa acts as a defendant for the criminal, arguing for the suspect's innocence, or in favour of lesser punishments if they are proven guilty. The Priest of Aldin acts as a prosecutor, trying to prove the suspect's guilt and arguing in favour of harsh punishments.
== Structure ==
The supreme leader of the church of the light is the Heirophant of Sollan Temple. He spends most of his time sequestered away on that island, often in deep meditation. Sometimes he ventures into Tyrrus, often to speak to major leaders, and to check on the branches of his church. The Heirophant is currently Benevolence XII.
Below the Heirophant are the Archbishops, each of which presides over a sect of the church.
Below these are: Bishops, Deacons, Reverends / Chaplains, Acolytes / Monks and finally Novices
