So, I recently achieved Simimi's ultimate goal in life, with Vesar's blessing, I was made the first matron of the Deep Blue Cathedral in modern times (Begs Estarra for a cute little honors line to show her life's work ).
I think 'Matron' is the right word... the person who lives at the Church/Temple and takes care of it and the patrons, like a High Abbot. Is matron the right word in English, I am honestly not sure, can you think of any better words?
Yours,mimi

Probably the right word, but you shoudln't get a special honours. Good work anyway.

What's the significance anyway?

Abbess is the female equivalent of Abbot. Depending on the religious notion of the cathedral, you could also go with mother superior or reverend mother.
I think Anarias was asking, what does the position actually refer to. In terms of duties, responsibilities, etc. I don't really understand either because I have no active Celestian character.

Matron isn't terribly ecclesiastical. Though it's (I suppose) a female form of Patron, it reminds me of nurses and school in equal measure. What about something gender unspecific like.. Prelate or High Priestess? Or, if you were going for a parental role within your cathedral, how about Matriarch for a more grandiose version of matron. Or use Avaer's suggestions, which I quite like.

I like Reverend Mother. It's got those nicely creepy Dune connotations.

Reverend Mother FTW!

And here I thought it had those nicely creepy Sound of Music connotations.

Thanks for all the help!
It conontates my entire lifes work on Simimi for 50+ years... and I am the first appointed Matron of the Cathedral. I'm just so happy I might die! Thank for the help all!
PS: How do we submit design ideas for getting implemented? We are now in need of a koisk or something to hold all the pamphlets I have to distribute, or do we have an item like that already?
Yours,mimi
EDIT: I would prefer to handle all of the "duties of my position" IC, as they are all fairly IC, just keep your eyes and ears open, you'll know soon enough!
