Amal'othala

The Amal'othala is the othas’ala of Amalo, of the highest-ranking prelate in Amalo. He has ultimate jurisdiction over all religious matters in that city, regardless of which god is being worshiped.

Details
The Amal'othala of Amalo during Thara Celehar's residence there always wore "bullion-stiff robes of his office". . . and his elaborately dressed and jewelry hair was almost certainly a wig."

The Amal'othala often speaks with the local prince. The Amal'othala also has the authority to assign a prelate to a benefice, and potentially to assign witnesses to assignments.

The Amal'othala has the ability to declare punishments and trials for prelates to go through, such as a trial of ordeal, and what that trial may be. Traditionally, the ordeal is ingesting a concoction of asteliär, which could be survived in small doses, but also involved days of vomiting. Larger doses could be deadly. An alternative ordeal used by the current Amal'othala was a pilgrimage to the top of the Hill of Werewolves, and to remain there until dawn.

Lower-ranked prelates refer to the Amal'othala as "Holiness".

The Amal'othala also performs devotions in his private chapel.

The Amal'othala is meant (or at least hoped) to support his prelates, and intercede when the public harasses them.

The current Amal'othala keeps a liveried carriage.
