Entry to the Traithi afterlife, and the ongoing happiness and wellbeing of deceased love-ones, depended on obedience and service to the hierophants, who were priests as well as leaders. In the later period these demands to slavish devotion were taken to extremes, with some hierophants equating themselves with gods, ending in revolt against the hierophants and the downfall of Traithe.
