<p>The Joybringers are all artists, be that as musicians, painters, singers, sculptures, stylists, poets, dancers, theatre performers, or otherwise. They act as organizers, mentors, and guides in all things artistry and revelry. They are often employed by nobles to teach their children etiquette, artistic literature, and to help them develop their artistic skills. Many burdened by guilt or tragedy also seek out the Joybringers in hopes of regaining their joy of life, with it not being too uncommon for those who have been helped through such hardships ending up as Joybringers themselves.</p> <p>The Joybringers are all artists, be that as musicians, painters, singers, sculptures, stylists, poets, dancers, theatre performers, or otherwise.

<p>Some, though not all, Joybringers have divine powers gifted upon them by Lady Firehair. Those who lead temples often tend to have such gifts, though it is by means mandatory. The Joybringers tend to place much more emphasis on the strength of one's character than the power one has been given. Though, Lady Firehair's favor nonetheless tends to be strongly correlated with the strength of one's character, meaning the two are often one and the same within the Joybringers.</p> <p>Some, though not all, Joybringers have divine powers gifted upon them by Lady Firehair.

<p>The Meranzeum is a religious organization and acts as Meranzi's clergy in Marcandria. However, most of its members are not what one would traditionally consider a cleric. The majority of the Meranzeum's members do not have divine gifts — such as clerical powers — instead simply being deeply religious worshippers. Those with clerical abilities are considered to be part of the actual clergy portion of the Meranzeum. This includes everyone of Holycoin rank or above — who are also required to have <i>Meranzi's Gift. </i>It also includes basically everyone in the <strong>Department of Divination</strong>, as well a minority of the rank-and-file members. Rank-and-file members outside the <strong>Department of Divination</strong> tend to serve dual roles, both filling their designated position as well as occasionally performing clerical services. If you're a rank-and-file member who only deal with clerical services then you're a member of the <strong>Department of Divination</strong> — since that is what they do.</p>
<p>The Meranzeum's membership base is incredibly varied. Most of the organization's leaders are former merchants, traders, artisans, and business-people — whose exceptional results made them the clear leaders and drivers of their fields. One must prove oneself through such a high level of success while part of the Meranzeum, as well as having clerical abilities and Meranzi's Gift, to even be considered for a leadership role within the Meranzeum</p>
<p>The Meranzeum is perhaps best known for the numerous merchants, traders, and artisans that exist among their rank-and-file members, as it is they who run the business-empire side of the Meranzeum. However, the Meranzeum also includes economists, accountants, analysts, bankers, librarians, scholars, researchers, administrators, secretaries, receptionists, assistants, and whatever other position the Meranzeum needs filled.</p>
<p>All members are required to be avid worshippers of Meranzi — one is not allowed to become a member if this criteria is not fulfilled. Worship of the other two deities that make up the Diostri — Callera and Fiori — is permitted, though Meranzi should be their primary deity. The Meranzeum also, to some extent, tolerate a member paying homage to other deities, so long as they are not considered adversaries of Meranzi, and so long as they are clearly secondary to Meranzi.</p>
<p>The Meranzeum also have numerous business partners that they've made through investments and sponsorships. These partners can come from all facets of Marcandrian society, or even be from abroad, though they all have in common that the Meranzeum has deemed their abilities exceptional enough to warrant investing into their future growth and progress. These partners are technically not members of the Meranzeum, though it's not uncommon for them to join the Meranzeum down the line.</p>

<p>The members of the Joybringers primarily come from the middle class of society, particularly the upper reaches of it. Members from the lower class is, however, not uncommon. While the Joybringers include both sexes, the majority of their members are female. This has much to do with the Marcandrian view of women being the fairer (more beautiful) sex, and&nbsp;<a href="onenote:Kingdom%20of%20Marcandria%20Culture.one#Marcandrian%20%22Pantheon%22&amp;section-id={82B59E14-B7E9-4266-986D-57A21380F290}&amp;page-id={28579601-3F83-4BAC-8E6D-7445803AACBF}&amp;object-id={1C76EDF9-2FBE-00D5-1CB9-878E46BDBB99}&amp;F&amp;base-path=E:\Espia%20Backups\Espia-2018.12.23\Espia\Eirus\Kingdom%20of%20Marcandria">Callera</a> preaches beauty. They are deeply passionate individuals, being deeply in touch with all the pleasures life has to offer, and finding joy in even the smallest of events.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All Joybringers are artists of some kind, in addition to being clerics. This may be as a singer, musician, painter, dancer, and so on. Many also work as organizers for celebrations, as well as teachers of song and dance. They also practice and teach personal beauty, as well as proper etiquette, manners, and proper clothing, for children of nobility. Their members also often perform spa treatments at their temples, as well as operating beauty salons and other luxurious ways of pleasure at their temples. In some cases, people can even find partners for night-time activities. As one of Callera's virtues is beauty, the Joybringers also teach others how to make themselves as beautiful as possible. This is through proper clothing, mannerism, as well as offering beauty treatments. It is the Joybringers who usually prepares a bride for her wedding.</p>
