Bishops are highly experienced clerics. They are often exclusive to large cities due to their rarity. They can be seen filling positions in royal councils as religious advisors, taking on roles in highly religious societies or taking spiritual treks across the land and sea. Bishops often have at least two high priests, up to eight priests, and up to thirty acolytes in their clergy to assist in performing a variety of religious ceremonies or rituals. |
