Apostles of the Crimson Sun

The Apostles of the Crimson Sun is a theocracy through and through. Their government is run by a religious figure known as Mzekius the Prophet, a “Grand Listener” of the neode patron deity (Kyzzbrqr’ickikkenen) who is to orchestrate sacrifices, and ceremonies to the deity on top of making important ruling decisions for the nation, and even expelling members from the Black Order. Mzekius does have control over the state of affairs within the crimson sun. he is not in total control of it. Directly below Mzekius himself resides the Black order, a conglomeration of the thirteen Grand Ackorolytes who vote to create new laws and practices for the Crimson Sun, as well as interpreting the teachings of Mzekias. In the event that the Black Order is unable to reach a unanimous verdict, or reaches a verdict that may potentially harm the Crimson Sun, Mzekius has the power to cast his own vote, and even outright overrule any decisions that the Black Order makes. All citizens of the Crimson Sun are a part of the clergy, and practically from birth, they are taught the Fifteen Orders of the Crimson Sun to which they are expected to follow for the rest of their lives, lest they suffer a heretic’s punishment. Citizens of the Apostles are not bound to any particular societal role besides their religious role, and are free to carry out tasks that will be beneficial to the Crimson Sun….fishing, weaving, lorekeeping, pottery, farming….etc.
