Our Reverend has contributed an incredible amount to the movement that is the Church of Pelor of Latter Day Saints, but his devotion to Pelor falls on the deaf ears of mainstream clergy. To this end, we formally separate in communion from the mainstream to establish an independent Church of Pelor of Latter Day Saints (CoPoLDS), which may be shortened as the Copolds Faith.
The Copolds Faith henceforth declares the Reverend Dr. Roland Bloodaxe as its first Archbishop of Torrun and as the first Patriarch of the Church of Pelor of Latter Day Saints.
In recognition of other influential Copolds movement leaders, Mo Kaelin will be invested as the first Bishop of Ragrokor. Meanwhile Buddy Bloodaxe will be formally invested as a Reverend.
As such, the following formal roles in the clergy shall be invested:
- The Patriarchate of the Copolds Faith, which holds domain over the entire faith. Its seat shall be with the Diocese under the Patriarch's direct control.
- The Archbishopric of Torrun, centered in the city. It holds domain over Copolds within Torrun's borders along within any bishoprics assigned under it. Its seat shall be Patriarch Roland's Cathedral, located in the city proper.
- The Bishopric of Ragrokor, its domain the village. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archbishopric of Torrun, and led by a Bishop. Its seat is Saint Owyn's Temple.
Leaders have a privilege to collect tithes within their domain, but also have a duty to pass on at least 50% of the tithe to the immediate superior for which they are under jurisdiction.
The proper way to address Dr. Roland Bloodaxe shall be, for as long as he holds the relevant positions in Copolds:
- In most formal settings, his address shall be as Patriarch Roland I.
- In Torrun he may be addressed as Archbishop.
Finally, a process for deciding the next Patriarch, who serves for life, will be decided later in declaration.
Edit: Updated to include the physical seat of the Archbishopric of Torrun and the Bishopric of Ragrokor.
