ANNOUNCEMENT
The Church of Mazda has engaged in a conclave and in contemplation of the will of Ahura Mazda its leaders have determined a rightful candidate.
From this day henceforth Jehoshua Artaparsi is High Priest of the Church of Mazda.

ANALYSIS

This conclave has shown a few problems in the Church hierarchy. Notably that considering the small size of teh empire and the religion as a whole at the present there are too few electors (this was excacerbated by deaths and lack of people in the religion to begin with). In this conclave (I reveal this with the universal assent of the electors) we only had for example two electors.
They were
Farzan Noctus
Jehoshua Artaparsi
Furthermore due to positions and age and other issues such as one of them being King of Kings, other people in the church in line to the ecclestiastical throne such as
Steel Knight
Katla Sayeh
Filli Noctus III
were excluded, meaning we had only two people voting, with only those two being the candidates... a very problematic arrangement. In this case as the House of Noctus has a member as King of Kings I was elected as High Priest in this consideration, but the problem persists and a further diversification of the Church's hierarchy to increase the electorate, particularly in this stage in the Church's development is necessary.
Thus to resolve this problem I am creating a new position in the hierarchy of the Church of Mazda underneath the Atharvan and the Dastur (and their future subsidiaries in regional territories) within the bounds of the Persian Empire, with the right to vote in a conclave to choose a High Priest.
This position shall be the...

HIERARCH
Hierarchs shall be responsible for managing religious affairs in a particular satrapy of Persia which is under their jurisdiction. They are appointed by the High Priest and have the right to sit in a conclave.

I will not make this official yet considering lack of individuals (players) in the Church hierarchy. Establishing this position will be dependant on increasing vocations to ensure that all positions can be filled adequately.
