 Far away, on Cahyali, a Dreamt named Tise-Swa is said to have been immensely bored. So bored, in fact, that the only thing able to entertain him was a convoluted, risky plan: one which would end with his ascension to the pantheon, or his utter obliteration from existence. During this plan, he stole precious and forbidden knowledge from Thoth, tricked [[gods:ra|Peregrinus]] into giving up some light of the sun, and convinced [[gods:atena|Seherine]] to change his place on the loom of fate. Different myths tell various specific events, but all have the same ending. Tise-Swa succeeds against all odds, and becomes a god.
-===== Priesthood =====
+===== Structure of the Priesthood =====
+==== Apprenticeship ====
+After an Almarian agrees to teach a new follower in the ways of Almar, they normally spend a majority of their day learning for three to four months. Once their training is completed the Almarian will call upon Almar's power and with Almar's permission ordinate the new follower. This apprenticeship often is often performed with one master and one apprentice at a time, though occasionally the master will take on multiple apprentices at once
+==== Culture ====
+Followers of Almar enjoy participating in spiritual conversation, most often in the form of their soul disconnected from their physical body. While conversing like this they will often happy welcome lone-souls into their conversation. In cases where they cannot disconnection their soul or when they wish to express their soul in the physical world they will resort to art. Their art may come in many forms from painting to music and pottery anything which promotes their expression they will try. These pieces of art often are worked on for years at a time with their creator attempting to perfect it.
+===== Priesthood Branches =====
 There are three branches of the Almarian temple, all three of which exist on both Jaern and Cahyali. They go by various names depending on where they are, with local chapters typically being entirely self-sufficient. The three branches fulfill entirely different functions.

 Shepherds and Templars both depend on the Ascendants, however, as their temples are some of the few which contain the tools and magical components necessary to supply Shepherd and Templar activities, as well as perform many divine rituals.
