Vorax: Hierarchy: Difference between revisions

<span class="DROPCAP">T</span>he structure of the church is the same as it has been since [[Vorax]] blessed his first champion, [[Rainstorff]], almost a millennium ago. Before Rainstorff, the church consisted of [[clerics]] loosely organized but loyal to specific clans. While this had worked, larger issues were addressed by sporadic clan groups and not by a united church [[resistance]]. From Rainstorff came a structure designed to conserve history and give a solid foundation for future decisions. From the dwarves of his Red Axe Warriors, he founded the Order of the Valorous Axe, which was soon overrun with requests for organized assistance from clans all over [[Layonara]]. To take some of the pressure off the fledgling order, he recruited clerics to rally under the name of the War Priests. He also recognized the clerics of Vorax who were not battle-hardened but were devoted, and he gave them the option of serving in administrative capacity. Over time they became the Tacticians. Other offshoots and sects have evolved since, but the simple basic structure has endured.
