Archpriests are clerics that have truly devoted their lives to serving their deity and are the second strongest member of their clergy. Archpriests are bishops that are anointed and are waiting to become archbishops and take a position worthy of their devotion. Archpriests are often accompanied by two bishops, around five high priests, at least ten priests, and twenty-five or more acolytes.
