The Ancestral Temple of All

 

Welcome to the Ancestral Temple of All currently located within the walls of Vortice. For those that desire to learn or take up the mantle and serve the Ancestors and their people, visit and speak with one of our priests or priestesses.

 

In most cultures, Ancestors are venerated and remembered in some way. This has been openly practiced by the Mali’ker for centuries. Whether it be weddings, funerals, or festivals all are done in the Ancestor’s names. The temple is home to the Ancestor’s priests, priestesses, and the faithful all guided by the High Priest who acts as the temple’s overseer. Through their acolytes their word and veneration is spread to all mali who find themselves lost.

 

There is something for everyone that chooses to follow the Ancestral path. The temple’s duty is as much devoted to the living as it is to our honored dead.

 

Priesthood

(Ascension by John Pitre)

Every member of the temple studies and learns about each of the Ancestors, the temples grounds holding shrines to several of our Greater Ancestors and encouraged to learn the ways of all of the Ancestors, from the pacifist ways of the Mother, the Festive, and the Joyful to the more warrior inclined veneration of the Zealous, the Strong, and Sheild-Bearer. A priest must practice and teach balance between Faith and Zeal.

 

All are expected to educate the general populace of the Ancestors, maintain shrines, and general upkeep of the temple. The overseeing of Marriages and Funerals are also important tasks of the priesthood.


Lutauman

 

A secondary job that priests can choose to undertake is uniting the living with loved ones lost if they are shown to be dutiful in their work. This is done by Lurauman who either work as priests within the temple or offer their services. Those that show themselves dutiful to the ancestors and clan values may find themselves receiving the privilege of receiving their ancestors’ wisdom from Stargush’Stroh.

 

The few that are gifted with the ability to project their souls into the Ancestral Plane and speak directly to those we honor most. These priests and priestesses seek the council of the Ancestors in times of need, and reunite visitors with those they’ve lost. These priests take up the extra duty on top of all others, and are typically the most learned of the temple.

High Priest 

 

The High Priest is the head of the Temple of All and acts as the Ancestral leader and spokesperson in the living realm. This priest is chosen through a mix of council votes and input by clan leaders. This title is held until the High Priest chooses to step down. 

 

Each High Priest holds a unique title in life, a representation of their status in the temple and their connection to the Ancestors. This title would be their ancestral title upon their death. It is considered disrespectful to take the title of a previous High Priest.


Council

 

A council of trusted Priests that are the most knowledgeable and eldest within the temple. This council is chosen by the High Priest as trusted advisors. The responsibility of this council is to act as teachers to the acolytes and priests within the temple, as well as addiction correspondence for those that need assistance within the temple.
