Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
I'm not sure what the role of the hidden masters are in your shangrilan society. If religion is an important part of society and the hidden masters are temporal and religionus leaders known and respected in the society as a whole they deserve 3 holy. If they are hidden and sequester themselves from society holy 2 might fit better.
The celestial masters of TC are only holy 2, and they have a role as leaders of the faith. However the faith is not as institutionalized as in say Marignon or Pythium and magical practices complement faith in many ways.
Since Tibet might be viewed as a theocracy it might fit with holy 3, but it might also fit with holy 2 if the religious leaders are not part of the faith and practicers of the commoners. On the other hand they might represent otherworldly/enlightened/sacred(as in 'apart') beings of true faith, in which case 3 fits very good.
