* The Devotary of '''Insight'''{{ref|b|twok|c|33}} is not described. Many ardents from the Devotary of Insight are seen exchanging dulled lamps from the Palanaeum and putting infused ones in their place.
* The Devotary of '''Denial'''{{ref|b|sa2|i|11}} is not well defined. This Devotary seems to emphasize the denial of desires to the point of asceticism.
* The Order of Talenelat is [[Dalinar]]'s devotary.{{ref|b|twok|c|54}}
=== Ardentia ===
The Ardentia was the collective body of [[Ardent]]s from all of the separate devotaries.
== Hierocracy ==
The Hierocracy had been a time when the ardents attempted to conquer the world and control the people "for their own good." The Hierocracy is considered the failure of Vorinism.{{ref|b|twok|c|45}} Priests controlled what people learned, what religious paths they followed, and the overall doctrine. The priests claimed to see visions and prophecy, and claimed that the common people could not understand theology.{{ref|b|twok|c|18}}
