| 6. Monks&Nuns/Friars/Mendicants (Placed between the mundane activities of the clergy, and the higher ranking positions of the faith, this range of position varies in role and method by caste and family culture. Frequently Occhestians and Fyunnen enter the role of monk, given to rigorous duties within monastaries and places of scholarly thought. Importance is placed upon study and refinement of both mind and body; to be a monk, is to seek improvement of the self. Friars seek less to improve themselves, but more to improve the world around them and are often Lmanel and Occhestians; friars are given to extensive labors of charity and social improvement. Frequently found performing missionary duties, providing aid to refugees and the ill, and even participating in disaster relief operations in extreme conditions, their duty is to give and to find the very limit of their ability to do so, and overcome it. Lastly, mendicants, voluntarily entering into poverty and full detication to the faith, these practitioners are frequently Fyunnen and Lmanel, they seek enlightenment through humility and service, spreading the word of the faith while surrendering themselves to the charity of those around them. Effectively, this stage of service dictates the role of the Lorath in the clergy from then onward, shaping them for their chosen purpose.) | 6.
