The Church of Holy Elysium

The Church of Holy Elysium in the primary religious organization in the Lysidia Empire. It is built on a foundation of the worship of Mother Gaia, the 6 creation Gods, and Vanth.

Structure
The structure of the Church is based around the Exarch. The Exarch serves as the spiritual leader of the Church, supposedly can communicate directly with the Gods, and is divinely chosen by Mother Gaia.

The Heralds comprise a group of the Church's 20 most senior members, largelu powerful augurs and senior regional leadership. Together with the Exarch in the Convocation of the Annointed, the Hearlds set policy and provide guidance to the Exarch.

Vestrals are worship leaders at the individual temples.

Priests are specialists on the worship of and devotion to individual gods. Many are spritual guides in local comminities and are often trained in both practical and arcane healing.

Acolytes are those studying under the Priests and Vestral at the temples to become Priests.

The Inquisition
A large function of the Church is devoted to the seeking out and prevention of worship of any deities outside of the regular Gods. Those who hunt the heretical are broken down into their own structure:

The Grand Inquisitor is the leader of the efforts.

Inquisitors are the leaders of individual investigations and are often stationed in capital cities of the nation-states.

Praetors are paladins and clerics who form inquisition teams under the Inquisitors.

There are also Acolytes who learn at the feet of the Praetors with a career path specifically bound for the Inquisition.

Temple
The typical Temple of the Church is laid out in a hub and spokes. The center of the Temple is a Mother's Grove with an offspring of the Worldtree in Khazalan. From the center, six corridors branch out to chambers with alters for the worship of the six creation Gods. Beneath the Mother's Grove is a columbarium referred to as The Wall dedicated to the worship of Vanth.
