The White Garden

Another piece for The Apprentice, my worldbuilding project. 
This is the religious center of the Florent kingdom. The White Garden. 
Besides being a religious center they also possess a cabinet of special councellors, who is lead by the Patriarch, the penultimate, worldly representation of their faith. This cabinet has a huge political sway in the kingdom and beyond. The White church's influence, and its religious beliefs, has spread across the continent, to many kingdoms, even beyond the to many other kingdoms, even over the green seas...
Many sovereigns follow their decrees and rely on their approval of important decisions. Matters of state, alliances, marriages, declarations of war and so on, are usually filtered through their council. Because of this, the White Church is generally considered the highest authority, above kings, queens, and emperors.
The church cultivates a special honey as part of their practise. The honey comes from a unique white moth, hence the name 'White Church'. The white moth cannot be found anywhere but in the White Gardens anymore, and so the place is sacred and only accessible to priests of high authority and seniority in the church. 
It is commonplace for aspiring priests to pilgrimage to harvest and taste said honey in a sacred ritual. It is said to help connect them to their faith.
