The Disciples of Ragnos are a Theocratic society like the Yuuzhan Vong; only here the disciples believe Marka Ragnos to be divine. His divinity is recognized through the Holy Scion of Ragnos.
A governing council advises the Holy Scion and helps determine the divine power of Marka Ragnos through the Dark Lord's own Dark Doctrine. The Council of Ragnos is appointed by the Scion.

He is also tasked with the safe keeping of the council chambers, and those members within the Council. Each month, the Scion will allow members to challenge the Lictor for his position, and force him to defend his title.
Challenges
The Scion will make announcements to the Disciples for challengers. Any member of the appropriate rank may come forth, and the Scion will oversee an appropriate challenge for the position.
Hand of Ragnos
To challenge the Hand of Ragnos, a member must have achieved the DoR Rank of Zealot.
Lictor of the Scion
To challenge the Lictor of the Council, a member must have achieved the DoR Rank of Disciple or higher.
The Disciples
Within the Disciples of Ragnos, an ordered system of ranks has been created. These ranks carry with them understanding of the DoR, and power, as it can be measured, amongst the Disciples of Ragnos.
Progeny of Ragnos
The Progeny are selected from amongst the Avatar's of Ragnos. The Progeny select their own, and a unanimous vote is required. Any member who is elevated to the rank of Avatar will be considered for membership in the Progeny. The Progeny are the most devoted, loyal, and fundamental core of the Disciples of Ragnos. These members have personally led the Disciples more often then not.
Selection of the Progeny
The Progeny govern their own affairs. When the Quaestor is a member of the Progeny, he or she acts as the "leader", guiding them in discussion. If the Quaestor is not a member of the Progeny, the highest ranked member of the Progeny acts as it's guide. Any progeny may nominate an Avatar of Ragnos for entrance into the Progeny. The Council of Progeny will discuss the appointment, and vote. If unanimous, the Avatar will be inducted into the Progeny.
Avatar of Ragnos
Zealot's who have shaped the affairs of the Disciples are granted elevation to the rank of Avatar. These members are often the great doers of the time, and the effect of their actions will affect the Disciples for years to come. Only the Holy Scion may elevate members to the rank of Avatar.
Zealot of Ragnos
Disciples who demonstrate extended commitment to the Disciples of Ragnos are granted elevation to the rank of Zealot. These members are the pinnacle of the Disciples, and it's most active members. The Holy Scion and Augur may elevate members to the rank of Zealot.
Disciple of Ragnos
Initiates who demonstrate basic knowledge of the Disciples of Ragnos are granted elevation to Disciple. The Holy Scion, Augur and Scholar may elevate to the rank of Disciple.
Initiate of Ragnos
Members who are inducted into the Disciples of Ragnos are granted the rank of Initiate. Any member of the Council may induct members into the Disciples of Ragnos.
Other Factions
The following are other factions both within and outside of the Disciples of Ragnos. Despite their disparate nature they have each had a profound impact on the Disciples.
Non-Believers
These are people who don't believe in the Final Way as taught in the Dark Doctrine. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood and House Naga Sadow were originally seen as non-believers; this changed somewhat after the creation of Clan Naga Sadow and House Marka Ragnos. The Brotherhood are now seen as believers of the Final Way (although not true believers) as they're led by the Dark Lord of the Sith, as it was a Dark Lord who created the Dark Doctrine, but in fact it was Primus Caerick's influence within the Dark Brotherhood as a whole that led to the Disciples acceptance.
Illuminati
This is a secret sect that is loosely affiliated with the Disciples of Ragnos but based inside the workings of House Marka Ragnos and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. The Illuminati are very similar to Lord Okemi's Star Chamber, as they are Equites and Elders of House Marka Ragnos united is a fragile alliance to empower their knowledge of the Force as they look to unlock the secrets of the Epistle of Marka Ragnos.
About
The Disciples of Ragnos was originally conceived by Ashura Isradia (based on House history) during his term as Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos in an attempt to meet some of the expectations placed on him as House Leader. Under Derev Niroth, the system saw a massive overhaul to make it more simplistic and a better tool for the House to utilize.
