'''Cardinals''' are the highest-ranking officials within the [[Ecclesiarchy]], under the [[Ecclesiarch]] himself. They are members of the [[Frateris clergy]] and form a group known as the [[Ecclesiarchy#Holy Synod|Holy Synod]]<sup>1</sup>, which elects the Ecclesiarch, the head of the entire Ecclesiarchy, from their own number. Most Cardinals lead a [[diocese]]. Although each Cardinal's diocese is outside another's jurisdiction, some rank higher than others, as they are divided into three orders<sup>1</sup>.
