Tubbius Regalis

Tubbius Regalis: The title given to the ultimate spiritual authority and head of the Church of Tubbius. This post has only been filled twice in the history of the faith: historically by the man solely known as Tobias and currently by Aloisius Treadwell. With the title comes a small number of expectations and responsibilities:

1. The Tubbius Regalis oversees or delegates all major church matters as necessary, providing a strong leadership role for the faithful.
2. The Tubbius Regalis is meant to be the largest of the rotund believers, showing obvious devotion to the faith. Within the faith, corpulence is seen as a blessing from Tubbius. Therefore, it serves to reason that the one most physically blessed by the Harvest God would be the best to have in the position of leader, setting the example for all other followers.
3. The Tubbius Regalis must be extraordinarily well-versed in the holy scriptures known as The Folds of Tubbius and must be dedicated to living the principles therein.
4. The Tubbius Regalis is assumed, given the other criteria, to be the incarnation of Tubbius in the flesh. Upon his death, it is assumed that while his physical body gives up the ghost, said ghost will merely ascend to its proper place, rejoining the divine body of Tubbius while awaiting rebirth as another mortal human, who will also grow to take on the leadership of the Tubbians.
