Under each of the seven Monastic Abbots, there were an additional seven High Jurists (priests) who served relentlessly, performing whatever duties were assigned to them. Lower ranks of clergy members served beneath the High Jurists, and were known as (in descending order): Jurists, High Magistrates, Magistrates, Defenders of the Law, Lions of Order, Radiant Servants, and Clerks.

| I will only add that Ed will (hopefully) write more on this subject in the future. This wish was part of a list of subjects that we, the scribes and sages here at the Keep, voted on and submitted to him as possible/favourite subjects for his Realmslore column on the WoTC website. |

Thanks boddynock
This old thief is quite tired writing all this knowledge down…
Back to the books…
To all you other scribes sorry about all the updates on this thread (every day)
I were thinking of adding relics and artefacts to the list (that have something to do with the divine aspect in FR)
If any of you have some source of information about the work I am doing, please say so.

If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.
