The Church of the Ethereal Sway is state religion of Salvar, teaching a strict adherence to a traditional set of laws in order to bring back the mysterious, otherworldly gods of the realm. Its priests are also the judges of the realm, overseeing all courtly proceedings from crimes against the state. St. Denebriel's Cathedral, in the middle of Knife's Edge, acts as the base of operations for the Church. Members of the Church--those who work for the Church, as opposed to those who are just worshippers--are responsible for overseeing the legal system and enforcing the kingdom's laws. The Church is headed by a figure known as the Justice, who is appointed by the King with the consent of the Church Arbiters.
If you feel called to join the Church as serve them as the Justice sees fit, they are looking for applicants to fulfill both combatant and non-combatant roles. Members who want to serve in non-combatant roles will be responsible for overseeing the daily business of the Church, spreading the word of the Ethereal Sway to Salvar's citizens and on foreign missions, and making judicial decisions after watching criminal trials. Members who want to serve in a combative role will be responsible for policing the city streets, acting as spies and assassins in and outside of Salvar, and rooting out heretics. If this interests you, please sign up! As you complete assignments and gain more reputation in Salvar, you will be able to receive advancement and their subsequent rewards.

REWARDS UPON ADVANCEMENT
Acolyte - A pair of specialty Church of the Ethereal Sway gloves and a pair of CES boots.
Adjudicator - A pair of CES bracers and a pair of CES greaves, 500 GP.
Intercessor - A CES breastplate and a CES helm, 1000 GP.
Conciliator - Access to the Church Library of Artifacts, 1500 GP.
Magistrate - Three prevalida or liviol weapons of your choice, 2000 GP.
Arbiter - Four icemold weapons or a full icemold armor coating, 2500 GP.
Justice - Two enchanted icemold weapons of your choice, 3000 GP.
Church of the Ethereal Sway Armor: This is a light-weight composite of secret materials available only through getting promotions in the CES. The armor offers excellent protection against magical attacks, slashing attacks, and insulation from extreme temperatures. It also provides decent protection against thrusting attacks and arrows, but poor protection against blunt weapons. Enchantments on the armor give it a chameleon-like quality, so that while it doesn't make its wearer blend in with their surroundings entirely, it makes them more likely to be looked over and ignored. These enchantments make it difficult to describe what the armor actually looks like, a fact that makes the CES quite proud. Light-weight and extremely flexible, CES armor is highly prized by thieves, assassins, and spies all over Althanas, although Salvar considers its sale highly illegal.
Other Notes: For more information about what prevalida, liviol, and icemold are, please see the store.
