	'''Sun Sister''' – Their role is to heal, advise, and accompany those dying, helping them on their final voyages. They're a frequent sight in hospitals all across Adhomai and many physicians were raised as Mistlings or were Sun Daughters themselves. Mistlings become Sun Sister's upon being of age, however, outsiders must first become Sun Daughters. Due to the Vow of Whispers, they’re expected to take a secondary role in preaching, politics, and church finances.

	Sana Sahira, a holy city on the tallest mountain of Adhomai, the name roughly translates to "The City of the Suns", this temple-fortress is the capital of the S'rand'marr faith. . Being located in the Southern mountains of Adhomai close to Nazira, Sana Sahira has remained in the hands of the Parivara without dispute ever since it was built and its modification and improvement have never stopped. The venerable age of this temple is well known and respected, however, that never prevented the various Fathers from improving or attempting to improve on the original construction. With the additions of towers, temples, or walls to shield from winds, bandits, or invading wannabee conquerors. It is said that all who attempt to take the fortress, will be dragged away by the specter of Messa herself.

	As of now, the temple is attempting its greatest project, properly archiving the “great horde of scrolls”. This "horde of scrolls" are venerated and holy texts that were hidden within the temple, however, the issue is that no previous Father bothered with giving any outlines or guides on what classifies as a Holy Text, and thus everything from hymns, poems, holy interpretations to even simple and menial works of fiction, diaries and even some shopping lists have made it into these "holy texts". The current priesthood of the temple is almost fully occupied with the task of proper sorting and plenty of debates are often held over what is and isn't to be considered ~~sanctions~~.

	The temple of Sana Sahira is not the only church of S’rand’marr, many have been built all over Adhomai and even in outer space. They provide both a place of respite and prayer for weary travelers and a place to stay for priests that consider priesthood employment. Sun Sisters and Priests of S’rrendar live together in these temples, however, in separate dorms. If it comes to smaller temples, like chapels or in remote faraway villages, preference is given to Priests of S’rrendar, as they’re considered more vital by the majority of Tajara.

	Adoption is frequent with the sun's priests and has been a time-honored tradition. However, ~~due to~~ the ~~war,~~ this ~~became an issue~~ to the ~~priesthood who have found themselves at~~ full ~~capacity at many~~ of ~~their locations,~~ and are forced to turn away ~~orphans and parents hoping to ease their burden~~.		Adoption is frequent with the sun's priests and has been a time-honored tradition. However, these orphanages lacked much support from Pre-Contact Kingdoms or the PRA. Their situation worsened in the Second Revolution. Many children were turned away during this time as orphanages filled and Priests were overwhelmed. Father K’rriran’s 2464 journey was done to accrue governmental support for these orphanages. Now they have full tax and material support from the NKA, full financial support in DPRA Civilian government territory, and some PRA financial support in exchange for the Ministry of Education holding oversight on them. Conditions are gradually improving and Priests are no longer forced to turn away children because of a lack of resources.

	'''Seedlings''' – Youngest children who are either given to the church by their parents, taken as orphans or given as “bad seeds” to be re-educated. No gender differentiation or separation at this time.

	The Kin of S'rendarr is a knightly order of the Parivara church, established during the long-ago Sun Wars. The order itself had fallen out of grace during the later years, its internal hierarchy completely subservient to the Parivara and without any ties to the aristocracy made the ruling classes displeased and suspicious after the Sun Wars had ended and the usual bickering between nobles resumed. Parivara, however, continued their recruiting, and eventually, the amount of armed peasantry in the Kin outnumbered the aristocratic knights, leading to the monarchs at the time to enforce strict taxations and tariffs upon the order militant. Members of the Kin, unable or unwilling to pay these taxations all eventually renounced the order, disbanding it.

	The Discovery of humanity, wars, suffering, and corruption have all lifted the Raskariim out of the shadows with Tajara even publicly admitting to membership. With the Adhomai governments refusing to take this issue seriously, the Parivara was forced to once again call in the order militant. An act that has so far gone mostly unnoticed, as the number of recruits so far numbers in the low hundreds. These new investigators have taken to the streets, trying to find and weed out any possible cultists. Be it with the governments' help or without it. Shining armor replaced by a classy trenchcoat, sword with a revolver, and zeal with cunning, these new investigators have begun to trail all Raskariim activity. The investigators themselves have practically no authority, as they’re not recognized as official investigators by any of the governments, although many of them are employed in the police force. The New Kingdom ~~of Adhomai~~ had ~~gone a step further, and re-instated the previously mentioned~~ taxes~~, cutting the recruitment in~~ the ~~NKA almost immediately~~. ~~While the Commoner party disagrees, the Officer Party and Noble Party support this decision~~.

The New Kingdom once had heavy taxes levied on any member of the organization. These were removed shortly after Father K’rrirran’s private meeting with Queen Shumaila.

	The investigators of this order usually identify each other with Rosettes depicting S'rendarr orange sun clutched in a gloved hand, and ritual shillelaghs they carry on their person at all times. The order accepts all Tajara above the age of 15 with the exception of the mentally or physically handicapped or those born while Raskara, the moon, was at its peak.
