Almanni Theocracy
Location: Almanni Theocracy, northern Rinhony
The Offices of the Lord Theocrat (Aevo)
The Offices of the Lord Theocrat are part of the Almanni Theocracy, a single religious structure that incorporates worship of all the gods both Empyrean and Talion, fitting their respective priesthoods into administrative and functional roles within the Theocracy.
Obviously led by the Lord Theocrat of Almanni, the Offices serve to support the Lord Theocrat in every way. Its junior priests all serve the Theocracy as a whole in a traditional priestly role (unlike the priests of many other gods in the Theocracy). Those priests all work to improve their service and education, hoping to achieve its heights of power, although few ultimately do.
Unlike many offices of the Theocracy, the Lord Theocrat's Offices do have truck with their counterparts outside of Almanni. Indeed, the Offices of the Lord Theocrat are on very good terms with the Ancient and Orthodox Church, supporting their notions of collaborative theology; they simply maintain that they cannot in good faith join their efforts until the Ancient and Orthodox Church has taken the next step and found a place for all the gods in their theology, as the Almanni have done. The Lord Theocrat and the Holy Regent often visit one another on diplomatic pilgrimages and visits of state. Both agree on the heresy that is the Church of Angelic Revelation, however, despite (or perhaps because of) that sect's growing power.

The Hearth-Keepers of Almanni (Edyma)
Operating not merely as the church of Edyma, but also serving as census-takers, population manager and domestic management, the Hearth-Keepers have a reputation for being willing to stand up against the other offices of the Theocracy in favor of the common man. Unfortunately, the Lord Theocrat doesn't often stand with them.
