The Temple, also known as the Alucarsian Temple to the One God, is the central institution revolving around Akhenism. Based on the Exekian felinar, it differs primarily in its waning power and influence in politics and society. It is administered by the Lords of Time, or bishops.
Each city in Alucarsia has a bishop, to whom all members of the clergy in that city report. Lesser clergymen include priests/priestesses, monks, and theologians. Despite its lack of influence on secular society, the Temple restricts and censors its members, and any serious religious matter is deemed their responsibility.
In recent decades, certain bishops and clergymen have been investigated for ties to the criminal underworld, and for participation in illegal activities, such as smuggling, racketeering, human trafficking, and prostitution. The corruption of the Temple has been largely ignored by the Alucarsian government.
