*Brotherhood of Saint Joric

The Varnites – Canons of the Varnite School, separated from the cathedral chapter at Gregotha in the late 8th century and coexisted as a Deryni teaching order and school until shortly after the Festillic Interregnum. Ultra-conservatives split off earlier and eventually became the Gabrilites. Earlier esoteric threads contributed to both traditions.

Templar Archanelorum – Long destroyed abbey with ancient esoteric antecedents; the seal on Jodtha’s dower coin.

The heads of the great religious orders, generally mitred abbots (which are indicated by an *), enjoy rank equivalent to that of a bishop, and may be called upon to sit in an advisory capacity to the General Synod.
