Priest
Priests, accompanied by their angels, are the wielders of great spiritual and elemental power in the name of Truth, Light, and Righteousness and they make their homes in the city of Targossas, the Dawnspear. Though no longer are all Priests tied to a specific House, all hold true to the cause of good, for to stray from this path is to diminish as a Priest.
Priest
In battle, a Priest wields a great mace she summons to inflict damage, break limbs, and more. But the real power of the Priest is the close relationship with her guardian angel. Through this perpetual companion, said to be the angel who reflects the Light of her charge's soul, practitioners of Spirituality gain great power. Her angel can burn her enemies, trace their movements, or even tear out their very souls. The Priest also has access to the Rites of Devotion, derived from the Holy Rituals of the ancient Church, allowing her to resurrect her allies, part rivers and lakes, or fill someone's mind with visions of Hell.
Spirituality
Spirituality arms the Priest with a Spiritual Mace and a Guardian Angel, the sword and shield of the Good and Righteous. Whilst the Angel often offers protection to the Priest through various defenses and fortifications, it can also be called upon to absolve a Priest's enemy of his sins, in doing so the Angel tears the soul from its unworthy host, ending their depraved existence.
