>[!card] About
>The clergy is in charge of the religious worship of [[Lumière d'Étoile]] within the kingdom; the followers here are priests, clerics, bishops, deacons and the like, instead of guards, knights, or paladins clad in armour. Before their dissolution in 4227, the [[Mortali]] were an inner sect of the clergy.
>
>They are the ones that work more so with the people of the kingdom, hosting masses, prayers, ceremonies etc such as baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc, that are all available and accessible to even the lowliest of peasants. The church has the largest sway of all the [[Dawnguard]] sects of the church and reigning monarch.
>
>The most dedicated worshippers within the clergy practice Florenzian monasticism is a religious way of life of Lumerians who live ascetic and typically cloistered lives that are dedicated to Lumerian worship. These worshippers can be found isolated within the further reaches, cloistered in their monasteries and abbeys alike (as monastics, monks, or nuns), whether living in communities (as cenobites) or alone (as hermits). Several orders, over time, have developed within the main [[Lumière d'Étoile]] Church, but each order falls generally into one of three categories detailed below.

> >
> >According to Abba Macarius' teaching, every Lumerian has a demon who tempts him or her. These demons keep a record of every sin of thought or action they succeed in tempting a person to commit, though repented sins are erased from the demonic records.
> >
> >Most _Amor_ monastics live mostly solitary lifestyles, living in much smaller and isolated cloisters when not in complete reclusion as a hermit.
