* The '''Wyrn ''' of Fjorden is the only member of the church who serves Jaddeth directly.{{book ref|Elantris|12}}
* A '''gradget''', the leader of a monastery, is generally considered to be outside of the chain because gradgets generally don’t involve themselves in matters outside of their monastery. However, gradgets of the most powerful monasteries (Rathbore, Dakhor, and Fjeldor) rank above gyorn.{{book ref|Elantris|58}}{{glossary ref|Elantris|G}}
* '''Gyorn''' is the highest level of the Derethi priesthood except in cases where the gradget of a powerful monastery elects to become active in the affairs of the church at large. The twenty gyorns{{book ref|Elantris|5}} of the Fjordell Empire are amongst the most noble in standing; kings bow to gyorns in nations where Shu-Dereth is practiced.{{book ref|Elantris|14}}{{book ref|Elantris|48}} They are known to serve as ambassadors to foreign nations, such as [[Arelon]] and the [[Rose Empire]].{{tes ref|98}} They customarily wear red ornamental armor with billowing crimson cloaks.{{book ref|elantris|5}} They are typically old, with even Hrathen, a man in his fourties, was considered young for a gyorn.{{book ref|elantris|5}}
* '''Ragnat''' is the rank directly below gyron; they usually oversee a region of Derethi worshippers.{{glossary ref|Elantris|R}} A priest must be of at least this level to command Rathbore-trained priests without the Wyrn’s permission.{{book ref|Elantris|36}}
* '''Grador''' is the rank below ragnat; they generally lead chapels in large cities.{{glossary ref|Elantris|G}}
