'''The Empyreal Assembly''', formerly called the '''Priests,''' is one of the oldest organisations in Achaea, and the details of their formation is mostly lost in history. Along with the Templars (more recently, the [[Paladins]] and the [[Guardians of Light]]) the Priests formed the two major arms of the [[Church|Church of Achaea]]. The Priests once made their home with the rest of the Church in [[Delos]], but have since moved with the Basilica to [[Shallam]], where they remain a loyal organisation of that city. In the Modern age, the guild of the Priests was founded by Odysseus in 178AF. The guild became a House in 396AF. The organisation is devoted to the tenets of honour, service, and wisdom as well as the ideals of order, righteousness, and light.
'''The Empyreal Assembly''', formerly called the '''Priests Guild,''' is one of the oldest organisations in Achaea, although the details of its formation is mostly lost in history. Along with the Templars (more recently, the [[Paladins Guild]] and presently the [[Guardians of Light]]) the Empyreal Assembly formed one of the two major arms of the [[Church|Church of Achaea]]. Originally at home in Delos, the guild and now House moved to Shallam when the Church successfully petitioned [[Sarapis]] to move the Basilica to [[Shallam]]. In the Modern age, the guild of the Priests was founded by Odysseus in 178AF. The guild became a House in 396AF. The organisation is devoted to the tenets of Honour, Service, and Wisdom as well as the ideals of Order, Righteousness, and Light.


Originally, only those of the Priest [[:Category:Classes|class]] were allowed to join, however in the year 403, they began to allow membership to those of the Paladin class.  They have gradually increased the number of allowed classes since that time. The [[:Category:Skills|skills]] of the Priest class evolved slowly over the history of the organisation, developed after specific events and derived older practices. The skills of [[Spirituality]], for example, were gifted to the ancient Priests by the Hierarchs of [[Celestia]] after being judged worthy of having angels as guardians. [[Devotion]] is derived from the ancient Rites of the Holy Church, and exists today as more a compact version of the older one.
