Line 187:
Priests must all be ordained by the High Priest of Saint Magnus personally, in the city of Saintmagnus. Priests undergo confession with the High Priest, then ritually bathe in water blessed by the High Priest, before accepting their black and white vestments. Red, the color of the Saint, is reserved to the High Priest himself. Priests take vows to uphold the community above themselves, and martyr their desires for the greater good. They typically pursue scholarly studies alongside their religious duties.
The Order of Saint Magnus is the largest charity in Saintmagnus, receiving donations from tourists as part of a cultural experience, as well as native Saintmagnians, who donate to the church for its upkeep as well as for its charitable works. Large swaths of its donations are sent to other charities, some international, but much of it contributes to soup kitchens, homeless shelters, and orphanages. Furthermore, those with nowhere else to go are welcomed into churches and cared for by the priests. A small amount of their donations is spent on lobbying the Saintmagnian government. Priests are barred from public office by the High Priest, but almost all of the High Council identifies as following the Order.
