Rathiri Church
The Rathiri church has been around for over 5,000 years, going from its humble beginnings in small farm villages to the massive temples and monuments to the gods today. The church generally acts as a motivator for the people and intercedes in spiritual and physical disputes, and special missions that the residing military or guard is not equipped to handle (though the military generally approves and oversees such missions). Members who join the church functions go through a period of testing and (paid) training before deeming them worthy to partake in the services and carry out the will of the gods. Members who make it to the rank of soldier of (element name) and Guardian of (element name) are given the option of working under the church directly and carrying out various missions and ordinances, or leaving the graces of the church to carry out whatever oath or creed the individual has set upon themselves.

Priesthood
Individuals who wish to leave the direct service of the church for the adventuring life are called elemental spirits. However those who wish to remain in the service of the church but desire to fight are placed into task forces called (element name) forces. These forces carry out orders and missions directly from the church, as well as work alongside the military and police force as auxiliary if the need arises. Individuals who leave the church for a high calling are called elemental spirits, have often serve in the ranks of the government military, as police force, or mercenaries, all while following the creeds and demands their gods have set forth or given directly to them. Individuals in both forces are given a letter of recommendation to call upon the resources of the local church. They are also given a sum of 20 gold pieces to spend on general upkeep and other living expenses until they find other funds.
