If a parish is particular large or populous then a vicar may have one or two rectors assigned to assist him in his duties. | Each bishopric can be further sub-divided into different //Parishes// which are overseen by a ranking member of the clergy called the //Vicar//.

| - | There are several smaller orders within the Temple of Light many of them focusing upon a single god or divine belief. Examples include the [[Order of the Guardians]], [[Solen Order]], [[der Liebe]], and the [[Muerites]]. Each of these orders confirm their desire to follow the tenets of the church and accept the rule of the Patriarch over them. These orders do not fall under the direction of any bishop and stand as true independents within the church's structure. | + | There are several smaller orders within the Temple of Light many of them focusing upon a single god or divine belief.

| - | When the central cathedral had finished construction in [[atlas:Celinus]] the Patriarch declared a holiday for all Dakarians to eat, drink, and be merry. Over the years this holiday has become on of the biggest within The Kingdom of [[atlas:Dakar]]. Smaller temples hold their own festivals, but it is big festivals at the [[wp>Cathedrals]] that draw the people. Wealthy individuals attempt to outdo each other with elaborate shows and charitable gifts to the church. The festival ends with a grand mass and a gift of charity to the peasantry from the church. | + | When the central cathedral had finished construction in [[atlas:Celinus]] the Patriarch declared a holiday for all Dakarians to eat, drink, and be merry.

| - | The gods came into the being when the world was born from the body of [[Mir]] when she was slain by the great serpent [[Kalasshak]]. From her body sprung the gods and angelic host, while from the poisoned wounds crawled for the [[devils]] and their [[creatures:demon|demonic kin]]. A great war between the gods and devils was fought upon the body of Mir and only ended when [[Nar-dök]] switched sides and helped the gods defeat his kin. [[Gemen]] fashioned a prison from the body of Mir and chained the devils in the deepest pits of the new world. | + | The gods came into the being when the world was born from the body of [[Mir]] when she was slain by the great serpent [[Kalasshak]].

| Upon this prison the gods celebrated the life of their mother, they created firmament and the heavens and all the water between. They created the beasts in the field, the fowl in the air, and the fish of the sea. [[Byrne]] looked down upon this tribute to Mir and was pleased, but [[Mara]] had one more addition to the world. Upon this world she gave life to the [[creatures:Sha’rek’ta]] often called the "First Race" who became the favored of the gods and whom Byrne gave the breath of life. The Sha’rek’ta were given command over the beasts, fish, and fowl. | Upon this prison the gods celebrated the life of their mother, they created firmament and the heavens and all the water between.
