There are many different devotaries of Vorinism, which vary greatly in their interpretation of the beliefs. A devotary and its ardents encourage to expand the growth of a person's talents. So far the known devotaries are:
 
* The Devotary of ''' Purity'''{{ref|b|twok|c|33}} is dedicated to wholesomeness and honesty. Members of this devotary are expected to keep their thoughts and actions 'pure'. A member's talents are expected to be dedicated to purity as well, such as an artist depicting only things like the Heralds. Known member: [[Shallan]].
 
* The Devotary of '''Sincerity'''{{ref|b|twok|c|48}} is dedicated to seeking truth in all things. Members believe that there is always something to learn, and everything is subject to scrutiny, even their own religion. No question is rebuked. It is the smallest devotary.
 
* The Devotary of '''Insight'''{{ref|b|twok|c|33}} is not descibeddescribed. Many ardents from the Devotary of Insight are seen exchanging dulled lamps from the Palanaeum and putting infused ones in their place.
 
* The Order of Talenelat is [[Dalinar]]'s devotary.{{ref|b|twok|c|54}}
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 prophesyprophecy, and claimed that the common people could not understand theology.{{ref|b|twok|c|18}}
 
{{Quote|They were taught to follow the priests. Not the Almighty or the Heralds, but the priests.| Kadash {{ref|b|twok|c|18}}}}
