Once every two months, a hierarch may request leave. When this request is granted, all responsibilities of the hierarch are paused until his estimated return, at which point they resume immediately. This break may last up to two weeks; if it goes on longer, the hierarch may be removed from his position in the Pagoda.

In order to request leave, the following conditions must be met:

- The request must come at least a full day before the actual break begins.
- The estimated date of leave and return must be posted.
- The hierarch must list all of his current Dajas Pagoda battles.

Hierarchs may announce leave and return in this thread.
