At the beginning of the Facets of [[Beryl]], as the church is called, after that fateful moment when Beryl was released and the witnesses began to recount the legend of Beryl and its sudden, vibrant truth, the faithful wrote down the requirements of their church. The structure was associated with gemstone cutting to please the new goddess. And this structure has continued, unchanged, to now. It should be noted that Beryl is one of the youngest gods and one who, as the literal mother of her people, is much closer to her clergy than other gods might choose to be. In the Facets of Beryl, the offices hold steady; this is not an organization that changes. Rather, it is the faithful that rotates through. For like any precious mineral, [[the Deep]] Mother requires that all of her children be faceted and polished. | |||
Each office is staffed by clergy in a certain stage of their training. As they master their duties, they move upward in title and responsibility; a new facet is cut into their knowledge. At the pinnacle, the Diamond is the shining example of one who has been through every angle, rotation, and depth of the process. | Each office is staffed by clergy in a certain stage of their training.
