Divine
The rules governing divine ministry and the covenant relationship between priests and their visages. Divine ministry in Oath-Bound is not a spell list — it is a managed relationship with institutional and cosmological consequences. A priest’s ability to call miracles depends on the state of that relationship, and the institutions that mediate it have their own interests and procedures.
Concord and Fidelity Model
The model governing the relationship between a divine practitioner and their god, mediated through their visage. Concord measures the state of the divine relationship; fidelity measures the priest’s standing with their Foundation. Both are tracked as levels on a 1–5 scale and reviewed in the Session Retro. This page covers how both are assessed, what affects them, and how the referee uses them as behavioral levers and plot instruments.
Church Hierarchy
The institutional structures through which divine authority is organized and exercised. Who authorizes what, how seniority and jurisdiction interact, and what the chain of authority means for a priest operating in the field.
Miracle Authorization
The procedure by which miracles are petitioned and granted. Not all miracles are available to all practitioners at all times — authorization depends on concord state, institutional standing, and the doctrinal position of the Foundation. This page covers the full authorization framework.
Miracle Bands
The seven-band structure that organizes miracle availability by institutional trust and authorization. From Simple Observances (Band I) through Solemn Observances, Humble and Earnest Intercessions, Clear and Profound Interventions, to Miracles (Band VII) — the band structure defines the ceiling of what a priest’s relationship currently supports.
Miracle Catalog
The complete catalog of available miracles, organized by band. The working reference for what divine practitioners can petition for and under what conditions.
Resurrection Doctrine
The Oath-Bound position on resurrection — what it is, what it costs, and what it means theologically, politically, and mechanically. Resurrection is a Band VII Miracle, not a routine procedure. This page establishes the doctrine that governs when and how it can occur and the consequences that follow.
