Line 7:
The Altan is elected by a Council of Electors, all of whom are ordained priests of the faith upon their appointment by the Altan. The Altan is considered by the followers of the faith to be a position in need of divine of approval, thus the survival of the Altan through the challenges of the month following their election, the Trials of the Parjasé, is believed to be the gods' tacit approval of the electors' choice.
There is no official hierarchy beyond the Altan and his Council of Electors. Mosques may be overseen by a Custodian Priest, but such a position is not required. Usually, citizens will consult the Mufiǧoreon themselves, and pray at their local mosques according to their own personal and communal needs. On holy days, when priests are present, adherents will gather to listen to the reading of scriptures specific to those holy days, instead of the usual free practice. The holiest mosque of the faith, and its center in Alathra, is the unfinished Grand Mosque of Jiba the Wise, dedicated to the founder of the faith and located in the holy city of [[Wahat Almarjan]].
