Episcopacies are the largest hierarchical units of the Eastern [[Alexandrian Church]]. They are headed by a single [[Hadriarch]], appointed by the [[Arch-Warden]] himself, or a [[Wardens|Warden]] assigned to the task. They are geographical divisions, and while they are often quite large, several dozen or more might exist in a single kingdom. Additionally, a few exceptionally large cities, especially in Alexia, represent Episcopacies all to themselves. While [[Hadriarch]] answer to the [[Arch-Warden]] in theory, tradition does not allow them direct access, and so they functionally communicate with him through written letters or the [[Wardens|Stand]].

Regional episcopacies are made up of many individual congregations, called [[bethels]]. Each bethel is tended by at least one Cleric. Sometimes, in particularly large episcopacies, [[archbethels]] might be created to add an administrative layer between the Bethel Priests and their [[Hadriarch]].
