Though she preaches the faith in public she is known for breaking nearly every teaching she promotes. She is known to use her status, and power to pay for the finest clothes, rich food, heavy drinking and even breaking the vows of chastity with rumored orgies. However, this is not particularly shocking given that many of the previous grand clerics, and high priests have acted in the same way. The inner hierarchy of the Divine Church are all corrupt, and rotten to the core.
