I was trying to avoid #18 - Priest & Priestess in previous mods of this sketch,but... !
Back on page 2 , you can find a base model , including Marquis & Marquise + Marquess & Marchioness !
What's the thing about Clergy then ? Yes , they are displaced , but they come as close as top of hierarchy , right below rulers in middle ages (in general) , often bound very close or almost highly important as kings (often) and even in some cases above the kings !!!
Allow me to explain:
"During the High Middle Ages, Bishops had become so powerful that it was mandatory for the king to take orders and consult the Bishop in everyday affairs over the state. In fact the Bishops were considered above all the heads of states in whole Europe even in the Holy Roman Emperor. Every king was supposed to have one Bishop in his court for consultation."
Now, I was trying to avoid adding Clergy in general in their high form , like Pope, Bishop, Arch Deacon, Abbot, Prior, Dean etc... , for simple reason:
I didn't wanted to involve too much religion into the system!
Monk, Friar , Cleric , Vicar , Chaplain , Confessor , Scribe , Culdees ... were also an option , but they often come as religion specific , so the choice fall on Priest & Priestess !
Priest & Priestess are good representative of the branch , and the only logical place in the above list was #18 !
Was also thinking of less Clergy term , and perhaps a bit of Mythical such as Mage, Sorcerer , Wizard , Magician , Conjurer , Enchanter , Warlock ...
but that would totally destroy the concept! :/ Still, Warlock would be cool

However, if you feel like changing it, it's fine with me , after all it's not written in stone!
