Religious Matters
Priests of Croi perform marriages, priests of Bas perform the Rite of Passage to the afterlife.
All know of and fear The Inquisition who ensure that the will of The Church Of The Moons is adhered to, and few remark the exquisitely subtle work of the priests of Stiuradh.
Mundane Matters
The majority of The Church's priests, are heavily involved in the day to day affairs of Talamh. This is most apparent in matters of trade, magic and warfare. The work of priests of Tionscail keeps the world’s economy on an even keel. In the harbours intimidating priests of Uisce bless seagoing vessels and in the forges short tempered priests of Tine bless the fires of the worlds smiths. Priest of Charon guide the training of the worlds armies.
Guiding The Flock
Some argue that this involvement is not only essential to the survival of The Church, but through guidance of the flock, these priests’ activities are an instrument of the Gods and therefore the will of the Gods. Whatever their reasons, The Church's influence is strong wherever it chooses to exert itself.
Trade
While peace reigns and magic is controlled by Shale academies, The Church enjoys favourable trade advantages throughout Talamh primarily due to the work of The Order of Tionscail. The hub of The Church's trade activities is The Great Temple of Bigany. Thanks to the large number of magical Gates constructed there over the past centuries, trade items from all over the world and beyond are moved into and out of Bigany city.
