Grand cleric is the religious leader of each country or region that follows the Andrastian Chantry.
Role[edit | edit source]
The grand clerics are second only to the Divine in the Chantry's authority. Upon the death of a Divine, they are required to travel to Val Royeaux for the Grand Consensus, a meeting where they must unanimously elect the new leader of the Chantry. By law, they are prohibited from leaving the Grand Consensus until a new Divine has been proclaimed.[1]
Grand clerics are also required to travel to Val Royeaux when the
The assembled Grand Clerics in 9:22 Dragon
College of Clerics convenes, but otherwise remain where they are assigned. A grand cleric has the right to invoke the Right of Annulment. As with most positions in the Andrastian Chantry, a grand cleric is always female. All grand clerics are addressed as "Your Grace".[2]
