Description
The Mother Confessor is more than a queen. Queens bow down to the Mother Confessor. All Confessors follow the Mother Confessor. Confessors have position according to their power, because the ones with the strongest power will bear daughters who have the best chance of having that stronger power, and so the Mother Confessor is the most powerful Confessor in the order. There is no jealousy among the Confessors for those with the strongest power, only deeper affection and devotion in times of trouble. The lower ranks will protect the higher, with their lives if need be. The Mother Confessor wears a pure white dress, in contrast to the pure black of her sister's dresses. As a duty of her position, she chairs the Central Council of the Midlands, and as such is in practice the ruler of all the Midlands, though this is not entirely accurate as all the nations of the midlands have nearly complete autonomy. The first Mother Confessor was Magda Searus, a simple woman imbued with the Confessor's power by the wizards of old.
