Titles and Ranks of Camon
The Grand Archcardinal (The Most Holy, Anointed and Exalted Lanier Fareneux) - This is the highest office in all of Camon. He is both the leader of the nation and the highest authority in the Church of Archanon. The current Archcardinal was at one time the Cardinal of State; he was instated after the passing of the previous Archcardinal, who named him as the chosen successor. This is the most common means of determining who ascends to a particular position of authority within the Church; the current holder names a successor. The successor is ratified by a body of peers, which is normally only a formality. The proper form of address for the Grand Archcardinal is "your Excellency," "your Worship," or "Most Highness."
The Cardinals - The next highest tier of authority in the Prelacy. Technically, they are peers, but there is certainly a "pecking order." The following are the Cardinals, in order of their influence and perceived power.
The Cardinal of the State (His Excellency, Davon Ord) - Early on, this was the only office in the Church that was directly and overtly involved in Camon politics. The Cardinal of the State directly interacted with the King and his councilors, representing the Church's interests. Now, this office oversees the day-to-day administration of the government, as well as all diplomatic issues. It is, therefore, the direct government for the people of Camon. Davon Ord is a competent and capable administrator, but he has a very non-aggressive personality. He is very much Fareneux's man.
The Cardinal of Judgement (His Excellency, Harken Lorre) - Probably the most reviled office in the Church, it is also one of the most powerful. The Cardinal of Judgement is responsible for ensuring that all the laws of the Church (and therefore, the state) are kept and enforced. The Holy Courts are his jurisdiction, and he has absolute autonomy in pursuing the truth of matters. This means that his servants may use coercion, torture, and subterfuge to seek truth and enforce laws. Harken has lived up to the very image of the office; he is easily the most feared man in Camon, even next to Fareneux.
The Supreme Paladin of the Holy Sword (His Lordship, Sir Nedderik Juneau) - In the early days, the Paladins of the Holy Sword were strictly the protective guards of Church officials. At best, they supplemented Camon military forces, and then only in defense. However, as the Church gained prominence, the Paladins became the enforcement arm of the Church, acting on the behalf of any of the Cardinals and, eventually, almost any church official. When the Church took over, it took control of the Camon military. The commander of the Paladins became the supreme commander of all Camon forces. The Paladins remain the elite force that serves the Church directly, and in recent years they have been particularly active in assisting the Cardinal of Judgement's office. Sir Nedderik has no equal in single combat and is a monstrosity of a man.
The Cardinal of the Treasury (His Excellency, Charles Quarrels) - The running of a church, especially of one of such large proportions, requires an extensive and well-run treasury. In the early times, the duty of overseeing the treasury fell to the office of the State, but it grew to such proportions that it ultimately justified its own office. The Cardinal of the Treasury now must be a man of particular business acumen, as trade and economic issues are his purview. Quarrels is a meticulous man of exacting nature. He is excellent at administering his office, but he is a less-than-popular man. He has little care for politics outside of his office.
The Cardinal of Holy Records (His Excellency, Wenford Jenkins) - The Library of Camon is one of the largest repositories of knowledge in all of Shaintar. Unfortunately, the practice of suppressing knowledge is alive and well in Camon, and a large percentage of what is stored there is kept from public consumption. This office is the lowest of all Cardinals for a reason - it has very little to do with the operation or function of the Prelacy.	
The Prelates - Each of these individuals is "ranked" as an archbishop. There are other archbishops as well, but they do not hold the same influence as the Prelates. The Prelates actually govern portions of Camon. Technically, they are expected to "coordinate" with the secular leaders from those areas. This has long since been virtually ignored or barely recognized as a formality anymore.
The Archbishop of Tyrene (His Excellency, Edwin Branard) - Territory includes Tyrene, Purity, and Zyel.
The Archbishop of Lanier (His Excellency, Sharlon Toman) - Includes Lanier and Hart.
The Archbishop of Furalor (His Excellency, Stephan Corlion) - Includes Furalor and Aladel.
The Archbishop of Centerport (His Excellency, Randolph Evans) - Includes Centerport, Deloman, and Rampart.
The Archbishop of Krinura (His Excellency, Ulric Nollan) - Includes Krinura, Branis, and High Port.
The Archbishop of Faraway (His Excellency, Gerard Devane) - Includes Faraway and Northface.
Note - Citadel Defiance is directly controlled by the Supreme Paladin. Camondel is the city-state of the Grand Archcardinal.	
Archbishops - This is the level of church-state official that oversees a particular church of some size and significance (for example, the church in High Port). They are also the administrators of local government. Still other Archbishops hold offices as diplomats, judges, arbitrators, and advisors. Archbishops are addressed as "Excellency."
Duke - The highest secular title still permitted within Camon. Only the heads of the seven recognized Greater Houses may claim the title. The seven Houses are Travane (Faraway), Rhodes (High Port), Baravold (Furalor), Moore (Centerport), Aldayern (Aladel; believed to be related to the ruling house of Galea), Verrin (Gateway), and Chantolier (Lanier).
Only in the most formal (and least important) settings is a Duke afforded his actual status over such church officials as Bishops and Vicars.
Bishop - Well-respected and important, Bishops oversee much of the high-level bureaucracy of Camon, as well as overseeing the mid-size churches. Bishops are afforded the "Excellency" address.
Vicar - The next level down, considered little more than a "between-step" towards Bishop status. The smallest churches that still exist within a town are headed by vicars usually. Vicars are addressed as "Lordship."
Baron - The title afforded to the heads of the 30 Lesser Houses. Their rank has little meaning save to those within their families.
The bottom ranks of the Church are filled by (in order of status), Rectors, Curates, Deacons, and Monks. Each of these is normally addressed as "Father," although monks are also rightfully addressed as "Brother."
