== The Great Chain ==
The Great Chain is the chain that links all living members of Shu-Dereth to Wyrn and then to Jaddeth. Masters were always called hroden, and but there were two different ways a servant could serve a master. One way was to swear to be someone's odiv, which was irrevocably binding. Krondet was a less binding oath, where one listened to the counsel of their hroden, but were not morally obligated to do what they say. In the priesthood, everyone in the Great Chain were odivs and bound to do what someone higher in the chain commanded.{{ref|b|e|c|12}}
* At the bottom of the chain are the common people; they serve the arteths and the dorven.
* Ragnets are the level directly below the gyorns, they generally oversaw a region of Derethi followers.
* [[Gyorn]]s served Wryn directly, they were the highest available level of their priesthood other than some of the gragdets.
* Gragdets were the leaders of monasteries, they were outside of the direct chain
* [[Wyrn]] was at the head of the church, and was able to serve Jaddeth directly, the Wryn had direct control over all members of Shu-Dereth.
