The Priesthood[edit]
Those that believe they feel the calling to the priesthood enter the temple as an acolyte. Though a specific god may have been their reason for joining the priesthood, during their time as an acolyte they are put to service under each of the gods for a set period of time. If an acolyte completes this time of service they participate in a ritual where they are ordained into full priesthood under the blessings of each of the old gods. Priests that devote themselves to a single god and ignore the others are known as “fore priests.” A highly ranked priest that is devoted to the faith of Soltis would be called the fore priest of Soltis
There are a few high priests in Bozikar. The role of High priest is the highest position within the local church and carries with it great respect, but in order to reach this position an even greater ordeal is requested. A high priest of Bozikar’s gods must visit a sacred site for each of the gods. This quest that is guided by the gods, but must only be carried out by the aspiring high priest.
Places of Worship[edit]
The gods of Bozikar doesn't demand their followers to worship them, failing to attend church will not bring lightning down upon your head. Worship is given to them, and they expect it in kind. The gods are powerful, and their power has been demonstrated ages ago, and the people hope that, if they're lucky, my intercede on their behave, based on what they pray for.
To that end the people of Bozikar have constructed numerous places where they can go and pay homage or supplication to their chosen gods. From grand cathedrals to opulent temples, to simple shrines, all of these help to give the gods and other powerful entities a very physical presence in the world.
