The Church follows a very peculiar and intricate personnel policy, which is based on the psychological knowledge they learned from the Star Gods (with the inbuilt bias filtered out through wisdom of Old Earth aristocracy... and possibly T'leth as well). Neophytes are selected for their susceptibility to brainwashing, which also automatically renders them useless and dangerous to be admitted above Priest rank. Potential Exalts, Beastmasters and Matrons are found by the more subtle machinery of the War Maidens orders, while all the highest ranks are hand-picked at young age from Earth's higher castes and taught to rule. The Church sees humans as inherently unequal in their potential and wants people with desired personality traits at each position; fanatical at the bottom, insightful at the top. They thus want to ensure Church's adaptability at the cost of efficiency.
