Fumayan Children
The Children in Fumaya are uncharacteristically supportive of the nation and unlikely to make waves or cause disruptions. A big reason for this is that the local Children are too concerned with their own factional in-fighting to make trouble for the non-believers.
Normally the Children do not worry about feudal politics. If one nation goes to war with another, the Children will pick a good vantage place and laugh at the carnage. In Fumaya, the local Children are actually somewhat loyal to king and country. At least loyal by the Children's usual standards.
The Sorcerer’s Heresy faction is so powerful in neighboring Kingdom of Swynfaredia that the rival factions have drawn a proverbial line in the sand. They will work to make sure Swynfaredia doesn’t conquer Fumaya. Note that while the Fumayan Children are unusualy patriotic for Greymoria's priesthood, no wants to support Fumaya so badly that they are willing to die to ensure Fumaya’s safety.
Greymoria’s Children are not very good at supporting mortal governments. In a lot of cases, the best they can do is to support them is by not trying to tear them down. The closest thing they have done that resembles actual support is to sell the Fumaya Armed Forces potions at steep discounts.
Structure
Members
To be a priest or priestess of Greymoria, one must be a spell-caster but one doesn't have to be a powerful spell-caster. Being a powerful spell-caster certain helps one rise in rank and esteem though. Here are the members in order of power and prestige. #1 Priestess Chimene

#2 Priest Ifan
Priestess Chimene is the ranking member of the Fumayan Children. She is a very power powerful theurgist and a is prollific maker of potions, scrolls, and wands. She is roughly 60 years old and has a mysterious past.
The word on the street is that she is not highborn but had a very controlling family, and she joined the Children to get out of an unwanted arranged marriage.
Chimene is pretty introverted and is happy to let Carcelli be her temple's face.
She set the Fumayan's Children's general policy to not make waves and just sell magical services to those that pay asking just enough questions to make sure they don't get in trouble for whatever their clients do.
When it was clear Swynfaredia was causing problems with Fumaya, she set the new policy of giving discounts and indirect to those fighting Swynfaredia but is discouraging the Fumayan Children was putting their lives at risk.

#3 Priestess Carcelli
Ifan is in his mid-thirties and is a fairly powerful double dabbler.
Ifan is a Swynfaredian-born and trained Folk Magician that joined a relatively benign secret Greymoria cult in Swynfaredia that mainly existed as a social network for non-sorcerer Swynfaredian mages.
Ifan took to Greymoria ideology well and became a theurgist as well as a mage. Shortly thereafer he got tired of looking over his shoulder all the time and migrated north to Fumaya.
He trained two folk magicians fully and is currently on his third apprentice. His apprentices are all reasonably talented mages, but they are lukewarm about venerating Greymoria.
He likes to bad mouth Swynfaredian Dragonbloods loudly in taverns but Carcelli mentioned in passing he is a bit of a chicken hawk. "The Fumayan Children should resist the Swynfaredian heretics more actively...but you know, not me."

#7 Priest Henio
Priest Sagan is a Fumayan born theurgist that focuses on overseeing Greymoria worship rituals, and he tends to focus on the stick rather than the carrot.
Sagan hasn't cursed anyone or done anything bad to non-believers (probably), but he is a skilled storyteller and he loves to tell apocphyal tales of those who shunned Greymoria and regretted it.

And the Rest
Priest Henio is a Fumayan-born theurgist that is very hawkish against Swynfaredia and has the courage to back up his convictions.
He took the unprecedented step to reach out to Revered Mother Alexandra Frymar. Henio helps the border patrol by performing sweeps for hostile magic.
He also trains part-time with one of Frymar's elite squads. The plan is to back up his new soldier buddy by hexing enemies to soften them up.
Show spoiler
Priest Jacenty and Priestess Aniceta are both Fumayan born theurgists but they are moderately powerful at best. They haven't done much to distinguish themselves
Priest Agost is a dual caster and a bardic caster though only recently achieved his magical milestone so he cannot do much now, but the Children are salivating at the possibilities of what he might grow into.
There are roughly six or seven acolytes auditioning for the part of being a Greymoria priest or priestess.
There are maybe a dozen Fumayan mages of various stripes that are honorary priests or priestesses and another two dozen that are only casual Greymoria worshipers but are in the Fumayan Children's professional network so to speak.
