Note: Section linking with arbitrary id USE <span id="anchor_name"></span>. Be sure to use a name that is not likely to be duplicated. One way to do this is to incorporate the titles of the higher-level sections, at least in abbreviated form, e.g., Ontario-Natural_features for the "Natural features" subsection of the "Ontario" section of an article about the provinces of Canada.

The Church of Larani is one of the largest landholders in Kandáy, and its Rekelas (bishops) are powerful secular lords. The Rekelas hold their land from the Serekela (archbishop) of Kandáy, who in turn holds his lands from the king. In terms of wealth and power, the Rekelas are the equals of barons and the Serekela the equal of an earl. The lands held by the Order of the Checkered Shield are held directly from the king.

The highest Laranian spiritual authority is the Serekela, who is answerable to the Lirrath (primate) of Hârn. The Kandian Serekela is appointed by the Sebrath (pontiff), who usually respects the wishes of the King of Kandáy in making the appointment. The Serekela is also the Rekela of Daena. He appoints the Rekelas in the other three bishoprics and sets a broad regional policy for the Rekelas to follow.

The Rekelas are responsible for the affairs of the church within their diocese, and are answerable to the Serekela. The bishopric of Perinore includes Rethem, and its Rekela is responsible for missionaries to that kingdom. Similarly, Daena includes Tharda.

The Serekela’s diocese of Daena includes the vast forests and hills in eastern Kandáy that are home to the Gozyda. The Serekela is actively seeking to convert the tribesmen.

Most Laranians in western Hârn are associated with the clerical Order of Hyvrik or the Order of the Checkered Shield, its sponsored fighting order. The Turintesa (clerical grandmaster) of the Order of Hyvrik is the master of Aleath’s temple of Larani. By special dispensation from the Sebrath, the Turintesa is appointed by the Serekela of Kandáy.

The Order of the Checkered Shield enjoys the privilege of electing its Chabla (grandmaster). Theoretically under the command of the Turintesa of the Order of Hyvrik, in practice he is answerable to the Serekela and the king. The vast political power of this order, and its historically close relationship to the king, has led to periodic disputes within the church. There is presently a conflict between the Order of the Checkered Shield and the Rekela of Perinore over control of some estates in northern Kandáy.

The Order of Hyvrik and the Order of the Checkered Shield maintain a tenuous foothold in the Thardic Republic. Although the Thardan chapters recognize the authority of the grandmasters located in Kandáy, they are effectively governed by "deputy grandmasters" of their own choosing.
