High priests are clerics who devoted themselves for hours on end to achieve spiritual enlightenment. They achieved this goal after being able to actually speak to their deity. They are revered as the experts on the deity or deities they represent. A high priest will often have two or more priests and six or more acolytes to help in religious ceremonies and other sacred duties. |
