			'''Ordained:''' After the Initiation period is complete, in consultation with the Initiate's mentor, the Initate will be Ordained as a full member of the Council during a special ceremony. Progression to become Ordained can take your PC many IG years to achieve.
			<br>
			'''Moderator:''' The Moderator position of the Council is a position usually held by an Ordained Cleric or Equalizer (although there have been exceptions in the past). Everyone in the Council, regardless of postion is responsible for forwarding the Council's goals and serving Mikon and his Church's Ideals. The Moderator is the "Official" contact of the order for the outside world and also works to ensure we all remain in contact as many members are spread throughout the various lands of Avlis.</p>
