The Holy Flock of Agdarr (Rhumisc: Hauliġ Flaukke ahf Agdarr), also known as the Holy Flock or Agdarrism, is the historic faith of the Rhumish and Gnibelen peoples. The faith is not enforced by law, but there is an air of purity and abosultism in Rhum, and descendants of the Rhumish, around following the faith and opposing potentially harmful, or subversive religions which oppose the fundamental values of the Rhumish people. The Flock is ceremonially headed by the Shepherd of Man, who has always traditionally been the eldest male descendant of Theuderik, and therefore the title of Serene Prince of Aakhan. The Flock realistically is adminstered by the so-called "Aelraes-Aertschaert" or (supreme bishop) who acts as the bishop of the Palatinate Cathedral in Aakhan, the most important temple in the Faith. Below the Aelraes-Aertschaert are a number of "Aertschaerts" - or bishops - who have administrative control over an "Aertschaertric" - or a diocese. Below the Aertschaerts are the standard members of the clergy, the Schaerts - or priests (literally meaning shepherds) - who have administriave control over a "parish", a number of which make up an Aertschaertric.
