he Archdiocese of Veluna City consists of the
city and the area within 15 miles in any direction. The Archdiocese was founded when Veluna City was constructed long ago. The
Archdiocese governs itself and falls under nobody’s control though the Diocese of Grayington does provide the defense for the Archdiocese.
The current Archbishop is Rinen Fallswop. He is widely accepted as the next logical Canon of Veluna when Canon Hazen chooses to step down.

Archbishop Rinen is considered the most holy priest of Rao after the Canon himself. He started out as the Bishop of Falsridge before being assigned the position of Archbishop of Veluna City 15 years ago. Rinen is a man in his late 50’s with long white hair down to his shoulders. He is well loved by all and has the backing of the Celestial Order which is all important for election to the position of Canon. Many in Veluna City believe Canon Hazen is to old to do his job anymore and believe Archbishop Rinen should replace him now. Rinen will hear nothing of this kind of talk and denies any interest in the position as long as Hazen wants it.
Bishop Tarik is Archbishop Rinen’s assistant. He sees to the daily running of Veluna City and only bothers Rinen if something of great import comes up. Tarik is a very intelligent man and most agree he will go very far in the church given more time.
A clean middle class inn has a pleasant atmosphere and soothing music played day and night. The rooms are comfortable and done in light muted colors. Symbols of Rao decorate the halls and rooms thoughout.
