= The Church of Smaku =

The Church of Smaku is the organization of followers of the Lord of Light, Smaku. The followers of the Church believe that Smaku is the one true god, and that all other gods are either nonexistant or are manifestations of demonic beings. The Church is headquartered in Smakarra, the Holy City of the Faith. It is headed by the Pontifex Maximus, AtrumCupiditas, and the Council of Prelates.

Leadership
The Pontifex Maximus is the highest authority on the nature of the religion, and is accepted as the infallible representative of Smaku in the world. The Council of Prelates is the legislative body of the Church, concerned with the inner workings and basic structure of the organization. The Pontifex Maximus has veto power over the Council, but reserves this for major decisions, if at all.

Pontifex Maximus
The current Pontifex Maximus is AtrumCupiditas, First of His Name. He resides on The Sentinel Mount, beside the Holy Shrine of Smaku. He doubles as the Head of Government of Smakarra and the Head of State for all of Smakarra's holdings.

Council of Prelates
The Council of Prelates currently consists of one member, the Prelate of Smakarra, Distruzio.
