Pyrtechon: Hierarchy: Difference between revisions

<ul>

<li>Blood Lord, High Priest of the Crimson Cathedral

The strongest. The meanest. The most powerful. There is no additional qualifier other than approval from Pyrtechon himself. Whomever can hold the power of the church may do so only as long as they can fight off their competitors. A Blood Lord takes power and changes church structure to suit themselves; all the while keeping a watch for intrigue and backstabbing until finally their vigilance fails for even a second and a new Blood Lord climbs to the top of the heap over their bleeding corpse. The longest a Blood Lord reigned was twelve years in the case of Omuh Kensentay some 300 years ago; this was also a low point in Pyrtechon membership. The Day of Lords in 1317 set a record for shortest time in power with six Blood Lords in a row between sunrise and sunset. It is not uncommon for a new Blood Lord to be replaced within a week. The Blood Lord is also Pyrtechon's most powerful [[cleric]]. All things related to the cathedral are their responsibility. Making notes on every individual to take a piece of the statue, making sure that damage to the cathedral is repaired and the proper ritual suicide/sacrifice done afterwards, and overseeing the rites' all fall under their domain. The current Blood Lord, Calvin Bruckermin, has held power for 3 years thus far.
