The Reverent

Intro
The Reverent are members in the empire who are very involved with supporting and promoting the members of Verdite. Some of the Reverent do not enjoy fighting, so they are given a level of authority to show respect for their devotions.
* The Reverent are appointed, through merit, by the Administrative members of the command staff.
** Merit can be exemplified in the following ways: crafting, healing, taking photos, distributing water/food, helping with social events, etc.
* They hold equal authority to a Footman/Ward-level Paragon.
* Non-combat styled Reverent have a white rank chain.
* The Reverent are not to be used in defending a rank trial unless that particular member has obtained footman via combat trials/assessments.
* The Reverent can take combat trials and obtain the fighting ranks of Footman, Vanguard, Knight, etc. without forfeiting their status as a support member. This applies to crafter ranks as well.
** Obtaining a combat/crafter rank through trials will result in a black rank chain.
** The authority level would still just be as if you also held Paragon status.
* The Reverent are desperately encouraged to become Penvaren.
* The Reverent may become Command Staff, especially positions like Fourth Guardian of Zeal.
