The Theocracy bit makes a lot of sense, though we're leaving out an important factor. Gridanians respect the seedseers for understanding the will of the forest, which is the will of the elementals. The ability to commune with he elementals ("the forest") was taught to them by the moogles, which is their part in the story. But why? According to Gridanian legend, the Twevleswood (Black Shroud) itself was created specifically for the elementals by Nophica.

The Gods' Quiver protects the forest, and the Wood Wailers protect Gridania - they, with the seedseers and conjurers, represent the pillars of Gridanian faith. Those would all need places in the structure.

At the end of the day, it's still all about The Twelve.
