Ranks within the church of Orcus

Some of this information may be wrong or incomplete, as your sources of information are not wholly reliable.
== Known Ranks: ==
=== Cultist ===
Not necessarily the weakest members, cultists are people who follow Orcus' teachings, but aren't part of a formal church. In other religions these people might be called "initiates", but that term is a bit wishy-washy. You're either up for cattle mutilation, or you're not.
=== Acolyte: ===
The lowest of the low. Acolytes are nearly always weak clerics who seek to advance within the church. They carry a wooden unholy symbol, a mace and dress in black robes.
=== Cult Leader: ===
On the same rank and rough power-level as a priest, a cult leader is in charge of finding new recruits, and helping to supply nearby temples. Cult leaders very often "go native" in an attempt to blend in an subvert local religions and practices. Cult leaders tend to eschew standard dress codes, instead adjusting their attire to match what the cultists expect. They carry a silver unholy symbol.
=== Priest: ===
A priest either operates a church within friendly territory, or more often works to aid a high priest. Their symbol of station is an evil-aligned mace made of the bones of an innocent man and the skulls of two baby goats or baby giant-bats (depending on the region). They wear black robes with silver trim, and carry a silver unholy symbol.
=== Monseigneur: ===
A monseigneur is a Priest who is filling in for a high priest, or a high priest who has lost their holy symbol.
Notable: Mesiphin Styx
=== High Priest: ===
High priests work in threes. One runs their temple, one rests and works on improving their own power (as well as defending the temple), and one works to expand the temple's influence or to discover new rites, rituals or do Orcus' work in the local area. These roles (Worker, Warder, Wanderer) rotate every so-often. High Priests generally carry a golden unholy symbol, which has been enchanted with divine magic (see "Temple" below). They carry magical maces, and wear black robes with extensive silver and grey needlework.
Noteable: Zehn, Nadroj, Santiago, Helayna, Theron, Gudmund, Terizaithriax
=== ??? ===
There is another rank above High Priest mentioned in certain unholy books, but it's not named
=== Grand Cornu: ===
The leader of the religion. They almost certainly reside in Rappan Athuk.
== Unholy Places ==
=== Cults ===
Cults to Orcus rarely engage in plots of their own, their main function is to funnel cultists and supplies to a Church. The high priest who lost their symbol becomes the trio's first wanderer, and does the work of Orcus until they are granted a new one
=== Church ===
A Church to Orcus is an unhallow place (materials for the spell component include virgin blood, child hearts, or whatever floats that particular region's boat). Churches are presided over by a priest or a cult leader.
=== Great Temple: ===
A great temple is founded by a trio of high priests. One sacrifices their holy symbol (usually by melting it) which unhallows the ground. That priest then wanders until they have been granted a new symbol. Great Temples are powerful places, each with an important purpose.
