Welcoming a New Party Member! Borik Stronghand!

I am proud to introduce Borik Stronghand - A dwarven former desert hermit who lived alone, but managed to make himself comfortable in such conditions. He encountered Ragrokor, a hobgoblin village, and was swayed by the missionaries to join the Copolds faith. Now he uses his skills as a brutal survivor to become a holy warrior. This Paladin serves the Copolds faith, its clergy, and its mission. He will be joining the Company of Weirdos, and we can't wait to take him under our wing. Give him a warm welcome!

Official List of Copolds Organization Properties

The Church of Pelor of Latter Day Saints (Copolds) has been formally registered with the Consortium, and properties have been put in the organization's name. Each property is the responsibility of the diocese it is located in. The official properties include:

• Patriarch Roland's Cathedral, named for the Copolds' first organized head of faith, Patriarch Roland I of Torrun. Seat of the Archbishopric of Torrun.
• Saint Owyn's Temple, named for a Copolds movement saint that lived long ago, in a distant land. He is the ancestor of Patriarch Roland I. Seat of the Bishopric of Ragrokor.
• 30% of Yorgin's Mastercrafts and 100% ownership of its Copolds Alcoholics Anonymous program. Located in Torrun.

Declaration of the Copolds Sect

Today is a truly momentous occasion for the faithful. In recent months, Reverend Dr. Roland Bloodaxe founded a mission branch servicing Ragrokor, invested in a smithy located in Torrun, and established in Torrun the flagship Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which is a community outreach program aimed at reducing problems that arise from alcohol dependency through a 12-step program.

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.
