The robes of the priests are the colors of their god,{{book ref|wb|3}} with the God King’s priests wearing different colours everyday{{book ref|wb|24}}
The main job of the priests is to care for the [[Returned]].{{book ref|wb|3}} This includes making sure that the Returned have enough food and drinks to enjoy, dressing then etc. The more important priests have jobs like writing down the dreams of a Returned or writing down their review.{{book ref|wb|3}} Each high priest also argues in the arena in order to keep the gods informed of the common people’s opinions.{{book ref|wb|16}}
