vacuranî may be described as “primates, administrators of monastic orders” ‒ Kingdom page ‒ or not, depending on interpretation
“Below the level of perař there are vacuranî (primates), administrators of monastic orders; cürî (curates) of different degrees, responsible for provinces, districts, or cities; and altcliďî (archpriests), who supervise the cliďî (priests) of a city borough, a town, or a rural circuit. The cenoi or abbots of monasteries may report to their vacuran, the local altcliďu, or both; and the cletandoroi or deans of seminaries are subject only to perařî. Details of the hierarchy, as well as titles, can vary by region.”

“Seminary of the Gods, Lake Como, Svetla
This lake has been holy for five thousand years, to Meťaiun, then Arániceri, then Caďinorians, and each culture has left evidence of its devotion; the lake is ringed with temples, monasteries, mansions of pious nobles, hermits’ huts, inns, and bathhouses— for it is a blessing to bathe in the sacred waters. The seminary (Soa Cletana Aďië) is the oldest in Eretald, dating from before the Munkhâshi conquest, though the major structures date to imperial times. It extends down an entire hillside, comprising shrines and temples, gardens and cloisters, burial grounds and dormitories. If you bring a camera you will be snapping shots continuously; it’s just that picturesque.” ‒ Almeopedia, What to see: Eretald
🝮
“Verduria is divided into ten provinces (fetörî): Verduria, Zeir, Šerian, Curesi, Irvesi, Aodo, Zelm, plus the vassal states Célenor, Luyšor, and Sereor. These are in turn divided into districts (šanî), although duchies and marquisates (šohî and surcontanî) are not considered part of a šana. It is the districts which elect representatives to the Esčambra. Cities also do not belong to šanî, and thus elect borough (kešana) instead of district representatives.
…
Verduria-city is divided into boroughs (kešanî), whose leaders are stewards (kešaroi). From the time of the Soleî until Elena, the boroughs elected representatives to the Esčambra, but sent their stewards to the Biyetora.”
