Pontiffs

Overview
The Pontiffs are a varied menagerie of figures. Second only to the administrating high priest, the tradition of pontiffs is as old as the Cult of Chaya itself. Each one of them a leader in their own right, the pontiffs are missionaries and icons first and foremost. Each in charge of their own church or cathedral wing, they lead congregations of monks, priests and vicars in holy blood rituals in the deceased lady's honor. In charge of their cult section's functions they are two-faced figures on one hand lending a helping hand to any citizen in need of Clemency, while on the other fervently dispatching inquisitorial agents to wherever corruption may spread in their region. Should they be called upon they can even bring to bear their own power to defend their hearths, crushing lesser minds with visions of guilt while restoring wounded allies back to fighting condition, slowly opening the heavens with every act of devotion. For therein dwells their salvation. Therein dwell the angels of Aechelon.
