Ranks of Archivism

Non-Ordained

 * Follower- Is someone who subscribes to the beliefs of Archivism and sometimes attends the lectures of Priests at the Library temples, but is not ordained or actively pursuing a path to priesthood.
 * Novice- Is someone who is studying at a monastery-school to become a Priest or Monk. They must become novices at a monastery before the age of 4 and study their entire early lives to take the ordination exam when they turn 18. Each class consists of 25 novices, out of which only 5 are ordained. Four are ordained as monk-teachers to train other novices, while the highest scoring novice is immediately ordained as a priest.

Ordained

 * Monk- Is a novice who passed the exam but has not yet reached the qualifications of priesthood. They remain at monasteries as teachers to the Novices, or can become the temple assistants of a priest. If a monk shows exceptional talent they can be made the leader of a monastery and given the title of Principal-Abbot, or even ordained as a priest.
 * Priest- Is the lowest rank of the Priesthood, consisting of the highest scoring Novices who are in turn made the leaders of a Library-Temple, where they hold lectures for followers and offer advice to their communities.
