The Exarchs are able to grant their favoured servants power over the Fallen World. Through their ascendance, reality itself is partly bound to their will and in order to further the Lie, some Seers of the Throne are granted special powers, so called prelacies. A prelate is regarded with awe and fear from his peers, as they resemble the power of the Throne and the perks of loyalty obedience to the Exarchs.
