Aerkebiskops are priests of the Iron Faith, overseeing all the biskops in a geographic region under the authority of a Pave.

As of 758 BC, each Pave has four aerkebiskops; whether this is intentional or coincidental is uncertain.

The aerkebiskops of Nova Vaasa are recognised as belonging to the Nova Vaasan nobility.

Aerkebiskops of Nova Vaasa

The Pave of Nova Vaasa has four aerkebiskops, but only two are identified. The other two Nova Vaasan aerkebiskop are probably of Liara and Bergovitsa. The Aerkebiskop of Liara would assuredly command, at a minimum, the Iron Faith across the Borchava Duchy of the Hiregaard family and likely be a Hiregaard. The aerkebiskop of Bergovitsa would probably command the Iron Faith across the Altid Duchy of the Vistin family and Ivlis Duchy of the the Rivtoff family, giving the two families all the more reason to fight for control of Bergovitsa.

Arbora

Aerkebiskop Bearnt Chekiv is the current aerkebiskop of Arbora, and probably commands the Iron Faith across the Pommel Duchy of the Chekiv family.

Kantora

Aerkebiskop Mathias Bolshnik probably governs the Heartland Duchy of the Bolshnik family.

Aerkebiskops of Hazlan

As with Nova Vaasa, only two of the aerkebiskops of Hazlan are identified in canon. There may be an Aerkebiskop of Western Hazlan responsible for all that lies west of the immediate vicinity of the Toyalis and an Aerkebiskop of Eastern Hazlan responsible for all that lies east of the immediate vicinity of the Toyalis and outside the vicinity of Sly-Var. There is almost certainly not an Aerkebiskop seated in Ramulai. Few places in existence have a mission more opposed to the message of the message of The Lawgiver than a town built to host a school of arcane magic. Aerkebiskops assigned along ethnic lines are unlikely as there would be an unacceptible overlapping of responsibilities with the Aerkebiskops of Sly-Var and Toyalis.

Sly-Var

Melkior Vadnais serves as Aerkebiskop of Sly-Var.

Toyalis

Verzin Lols is the Aerkebiskop of Toyalis, sharing the Iron Citadel-Fane with the Pave of Hazlan.
