Council of Clerics

The Council of Clerics is the conclave of the Aurelian Empire's High Priests and Priestesses. Each cleric represents a colonisation cluster, acting as their spiritual leader and the religious counterpart to the ruling Primarchs. Originally consisting of eight clerics - representing Palaven and its seven original extrasolar colonies - the number of clerics has continued to grow as the empire has expanded. The current number of clerics on the council is twenty-eight.

Like all members of the priesthood, clerics are forbidden to marry and have children, and all of them have surrendered their family names upon their induction as a show of faith. While on paper their sphere of influence lies entirely within religious matters, in reality clerics hold a lot of political power, their ability to influence the collective consciousness of the faithful being a particularly useful tool for control. As such, many Primarchs attempt to win their homeworld's cleric to their cause, to strengthen and further legitimise their reigns.
