This is church of the moonlight info aka the religion/ herd/ groupyness some of Vatican's family is part of
The Church of the Moonlight is a group of like minded Soquili and familiars who worship the moon Goddesses Trivia and Selene but are mainly organized under Trivia's following. They do accept and welcome those who follow other moon gods/ goddesses as long as they are willing to work within the three branches of the church and to help the church with its mission to guide any who maybe lost through the darkness of the light. The Church also believes that while the light of the goddess is extremely important that it is also the darkness of the night is also very important and in order to understand one that members must be willing to understand and embrace the other.
At the moment the Church/ herd/ group thingy doesn't have any specific territory that they claim as their own. They have a specific location ( which I can't recall where I wanted to put it on the soq map) that they meet to do their worshiping but for the most part the Nacht family(using them as the example cause their only members right now) is sorta spread out in where they live and come together every full and new moon to meet. Other wise the positioned members get together to do their jobs as needed but live off on their own
-The Church's main goddess is Trivia/ Selene. But they welcome those who believe moon gods/ goddesses are welcome
-The Church believes that there are NO avatars to the goddess. No one or thing that has a direct connection to the goddess.
- The Church welcomes any who is willing to worship the moon and nighttime and will not harm the churches members (aka no Skinwalkers or any other soquili who would be violent towards fellow members)
-The Church is run by no one member but instead by a high council composed of atleast two high High Priest/ Priestess, two master Trainers and two retrievers or guides
-The Church itself is composed of three main branches,
-Within each branch there are a number of positions that a member of the church can hold. Most members who work for the church dedicate themselves to one one branch and one position.
-Those who are with the church from birth aka foals or young familiars can work with in two branches holding one position in each branch. (Aka Asariel has been with the church since foalhood is both in the Beams and the Darkside Branches holding Master Trainer position in the Darkside branch and guide position in the Nighttime branch)
-Rarely those who with those who have been with the church since birth can master a position with in all three branches. At this time there is no member of the church that holds one position in all three branches. At this time there is no member that has achieved this that is currently alive. (Lassuarium is said to have the skills in order to hold a position in all three branches but has not trained to have a position in the Face branch)
- Any member holding two or more positions can only obtain one high or master position. ( Using Asariel again there.as he is one of the Master Trainer in the Darkside Branch he can no become a master guide because he already holds one master/ high title.)
