Nenneke, the high priestess of Melitele
The high priest/high priestess or archpriest/archpriestess is a distinguished rank in the loose ladder of Nordling priesthood, under a hierarch.[1]
These women and men oversee large, ancient temples devoted to one of the major deities of the pantheon. Whether they slowly push their racial prejudice as "blessed counsels" to monarchs or run noted schools and greenhouses, hardly anyone can ignore their impact on the daily life of the Northern Kingdoms including Skellige.
