Uatkara

Broadly speaking, Uatkara's physical organization is construed of six distinct layers. While often represented as a pyramid in children's education, it can also be seen as a wheel or disk under more advanced introspection. All of it in the name of conveying the importance of roles and their significance, but more importantly, how each other role relies upon the other in order to exist.  

The Pharaoh

At the top of the pyramid--or the center of the wheel--sits the Pharaoh. Half-divinity, half-mortal, those previous to Aramix often led elaborate rituals and prayers to the goddesses, in addition to events for their mortal followers. These often served to reinforce the divinity of the pharaoh, whether as a kindred or an actual divine being themselves.   Aramix's actual quasi-divine nature solidified her as a goddess-made-flesh, but her doctrine often atests she is but a mortal with half a foot into the realm of divinity. Thus, for all others, Aramix is critically important to lead Uatkara's faithful along the proper path.  

High Priestesses

Beneath the Pharaoh in the pyramid, as well as on the wheel, sit the High Priestesses. The practical administrators of the faith, as well as the second-to-last word on any matters concerning doctrine. Given their effective importance, promotion to this job is intensely scrutinized.   No trial is more demanding than those set by Aramix herself, who personally oversees every new High Priestess to ensure they are what Atenkhet needs. It is, without any embellishment, one of the harshest positions to hold in Atenkhet. Those who often can achieve, and hold onto, such a job are undoubtedly the most devout of all in Uatkara.  

Resetyu Scribes

Under the High Priestesses on the pyramid, but to right of the Pharaoh on the wheel, sit the Resetyu Scribes. In archaic times, the first scribes had to collect special dust that blew from the eastern winds. In mixing the dust with several veltrony components, clay-like slabs could be made, becoming the first written records of Atenkhet.   The scribes are the intellectual elite of Uatkara, charged with recording doctrine, philosophizing meaning, debating scripture, and interpreting the designs of the goddesses. Given how esoteric they can be, they're often quite reclusive and otherwise invisible in the public eye.  

Merchanta

Coming up to the Resetyu Scribes on the pyramid, and between them and the High Priestesses on the wheel, are the Merchanta. A special designation for especially pious merchants, they handle the business needs of Uatkara and the material reality of supporting their faith. Whether it is acquiring religiously significant materials, transporting supplies and food, or simple logistics, they handle much of the day-to-day. Although they receive special favor and attention from the government, this is only for the sake of satisfying Uatkara. Compared to normal merchants, their field of business is much more narrow, but in the same stroke, far more stable and predictable.  

Devout

Second from the bottom, and to the left of the Pharaoh on the wheel, are the aptly named Devout. These are official inductees into the faith of Uatkara, recorded for eternity within Atenkhet's record keeping. Whether as a simply pious member going about their daily lives, or a low-order priestess, this is the second largest of the populated layers. For many, they are the body and blood of Uatkara, the every-day people that make up a civilization.  

The People

The final layer, and one that is above the Pharaoh on the wheel, is perhaps the most controversial group. A relatively recent addition (being a few centuries old), they are officially referred to as the People. In practice, most tend to regard them as the Unmarked, on account of lacking most--if not all--of the religious tattoos those of the faith mark themselves with.   This group is the population not strictly apart of Uatkara in an official sense. Almost all foreigners are lumped into it, but also those domestic born who do not adhere to the pious requirements needed. The most notable of these foreign groups would be the Sa-kemet Tribes, what few openly worship Uatkara anyway.   The existence of the People is a measure of necessity as much as it is practicality. By lessening the priestesshood's conversion rates, Aramix has effectively capped the growth power of Uatkara itself. The origins of this decision lay in Aramix's desire to further stratify the concept of the religion and the faith.   In essence, by allowing people to worship without official induction into Uatkara means the priestesshood cannot exercise authority over them. It can be seen as a semantic argument, as both faith and government are one-and-the-same in Atenkhet.   The true matter of it is a political maneuvering, meant to constrain certain problematic factions from gaining more untoward power. In the end, almost everyone in Atenkhet carries the Uatkara faith. But not everyone pays up to the priestesshood, while the government continues to collect its dues.
