Auscultare Loran Kor -- The position of high priest, until recently, has been one of speeches, diplomacy, and travel. With events being what they are, this has changed. Since the death of the previous high priest and the selection of the most recent, the entire focus has shifted. The position previously called the high priest is now the Auscultare, and he acts as a conduit between Toran and his church. As the spiritual head of the church, Loran Kor was chosen just after the church resettled in [[Fort Llast]]. He is a quiet and kind man, tonsured and stooped at the shoulders. In his 70's, he lacks the stamina and [[strength]] of his youth but more than makes up for that with his tremendous [[wisdom]] drawn on his lifetime as a soldier, statesman, father, general, and [[cleric]]. Loran Kor found the Quartos Toranis, lost for centuries, and is working to revise church canon to account for situations that might resemble Navarre's. He is the first high priest handpicked by Toran himself. | |||
The Heart of Toran is a position that now brings to the public all that Toran is: wise, compassionate, upstanding, and loyal, as well as a speaker, teacher, and a diplomat. There are [[clerics]] in every temple and shrine of Toran's but only one Heart. The position has been in existence since very near the start of the church. One who is chosen as Heart focuses on just that; being a friend to all that need him, a public beacon of Toran's Conducts and an example to all of Toran's faithful. Previously, the Heart was the assistant to the high priest. | The Heart of Toran is a position that now brings to the public all that Toran is: wise, compassionate, upstanding, and loyal, as well as a speaker, teacher, and a diplomat.

Formerly the donations office, the Missions and the Exchequer now handle the money coming into the church and funds relief efforts. This new office has existed only since the year after Bloodstone's fall. With the Prantz temple destroyed and expansion needed in Fort Llast, the office was created to allot funds for construction and new building, equipment, relief work, and ministering. Previously all the orders and sects handled their own funds. Now the Exchequer has consolidated all of those monies and donations under one banner. The first Exchequer is Sherinde with Irithel assisting her. | Formerly the donations office, the Missions and the Exchequer now handle the money coming into the church and funds relief efforts.

"The way to destroy [[evil]] is different for us all. Our paladin brothers deal with the source. Others deal with leaders and broker arrangements. We choose to walk with the poorest, giving of ourselves, offering aid to the ones most in need. Remember, the ultimate goodness is giving. The way to defeat evil is to stamp out the need. It is the gift we bring, that which we offer freely: food, clothing, first aid, shelters. Be with the people. Listen to them. Teach them. Learn from them. You will see Toran's heart in each one. Encourage this. We are all watched by him." -Gallie Rindal, in charge of aid to the displaced of Prantz | |||
Missions, while overseen by Sherinde, is spearheaded by three people: Adren Brichold, Gallie Rindal, and Henri Jameson. They coordinate the distribution of aid, raise and organize volunteers, and spend a great deal of time teaching and promoting ways to survive the darkening of the skies. They are currently working with the temple of [[Prunilla]] at Castle Mask to produce crops that can survive low-[[light]] conditions. | Missions, while overseen by Sherinde, is spearheaded by three people: Adren Brichold, Gallie Rindal, and Henri Jameson.
