How do the Bearded Priests project power/influence to the outer limits of Norvos’ demesne (referring to the Upper Royne to the west and the Axe/Darkwash to the east of the Noyne valley): Through centrally elected magisters dispatched from Norvos (ala Valyrian Freehold) or through satellite sects located in these far flung regions electing their own magisters/rulers? TY

In Norvos, the magisters are carefully selected by the priesthood, maintaining the priesthood’s authority but creating the facade of a balance of power between themselves and the commercial nobility.

I would imagine that their peripheral holdings are probably run the same way – an archon selected by the priesthood from among the council of magisters, but ultimately answerable to the local parish priest who reports back to the temple at Norvos.
