First is the blessings of the Four Goddesses. All four need to unanimously decide if a person is worthy enough to gain the title.

The High Luminary serves as the living conduit for the goddesses’ collective will.
Secondly, they need to display mastery over the divine domains of life, creation, wisdom, and justice.
Thirdly, they need to have a track record of good leadership. A High Luminary must have a record of exemplary leadership within one or more of the Sainted Dominion's sub-organizations, such as leading military victories through the Radiant Vanguard or acting as a mediator in the Sacred Chorus. They must be skilled in rallying saints under a unified vision.
And lastly, most importantly, only those who have faced and triumphed over the Elder God of Time’s minions or thwarted his plans are eligible. The candidate must have displayed extraordinary courage and strategic brilliance in these confrontations, proving their ability to defend the cosmos against its greatest threat.
