The Kresimirian High Diviner (also styled High Diviner of the Prophet) is the supreme clerical office of Kresimirianism and the chair of the Council for Divinity. The High Diviner interprets the Books of Kresimir, supervises the national Diviner corps, and serves as the final arbiter of appeals involving Divinity Certificates and citizenship under the Faith Restriction Clause.
Role and powers
Constitutionally, the High Diviner is among the most influential figures in the Divine Republic. Appointment requires the Divine Chancellor and confirmation by the Assembly, embedding the office in both executive and legislative politics. High Diviners routinely deliver nationally televised sermons from the Cathedral of the Prophet and can effectively veto liberalising religious reforms by rallying the Sons of Kresimir base.
