An oddity among the religions the Council of Esus has no disciples, priests, high priests or temples. Instead all of its abilities are practiced by units that worship the religion. Any unit that worships Esus can pay to spread the religion in a city. That theme, paying for miracles, is common in the Council of Esus. Additionally, the Council of Esus can only be spread by a unit who Follows the religion and is controlled by a player who uses Council of Esus as his State Religion.
