Overview
The Triat is the main body of leadership of the Hunters of the Stag. It consists of the First, the High Priest, and the Aurajinrale, and is part of the Pentat.
The First
The First is the best Hunters among the Hunters, and epitomizes each of the Nine Traditions of Sagittarius. Most First have hunted the majority of the creatures on the island, or at least dueled with them. Few are intellectual or patient enough to go beyond rudimentary magic, but this--like all rules--has exceptions.
The First is also referred to as the Hunter.
The High Priest
The High Priest is the spiritual leader of the Hunters, arbiter in most disputes, and caretaker of the Temple. He is well-versed in Horjinic scripture and magic, and is accepted as the living embodiment of Sagittarius.
The High Priest is sometimes referred to as the Leader.
The Aurajinrale
The Aurajinrale is a genetic descendant of Torat, the first Seer, and is usually female. Aurajinralek all have visions and act as the High Priest's assistant in most religious ceremonies.
The blood of Torat is especially attuned to spirits, so most Aurajinralek are better with Horjinic magic than other Hunters. As such, the Aurajinrale is sometimes referred to as the Mage, but is more commonly referred to as the Seer.
