Pythia

The Pythia is the highest ranking high priestess of the Church of Light in the city of Umbar, and is only seen as subservient to the reigning Radiant or to the Copper Dragon himself.

The Pythia has tremendous political power. Possibly the most public display of her authority is in the decreeing of a new Radiant for the city, as the Radiant is not seen as the true heir to Vraisos without first obtaining the Pythia's blessing--regardless any proof given of being a half-dragon.

In addition, the Pythia serves as the chief judge in city's government judicial system.
