Ackys Superior

Ackys Superior is the highest position in the High-Sect Aralethic clergy. The Ackys Superior is believed to be a literal or symbolic reincarnation of Araleth Himself, granting them "A direct Audience with God". Thus, the position was usually passed down through inheritance, though an Arch Ackys of significant prestige could be appointed to the position if the prior Ackys Superior had no heir. The position of Ackys Superior was formed during the reign of Calden II Brander, after the Craenate Empire adopted Aralethicism as its official religion, and was intended as a spiritual advisor to the Emperor.

The political station of Ackys Superior would remain in the Velbrecht-Craenate Empire, although some other Craenate successor states would appoint their own Ackys Superior, each claiming to be the true representative of God and giving rise to the sub-sects of the Late Schism. The position would become politically independent following the establishment of the Chergarian Empire.

The concept of Ackys Superior is held as heresy in West-Sect Aralethicism, as it is claimed that "no one man but his First Chosen may speak for God".
