These small, amber-winged beings flit and swirl around

praises. Notars have heartbreakingly beautiful voices,
and their warm glow can lift the spirit and mend broken
bones. They are the living embodiment of a single thought
or feeling of their god, and cannot express anything other
than the idea or emotion by which they were created.

ENVOY

An envoy is the being a god sends when they have no
need for subtlety. Towering and glowing, envoys shine
with divine authority, and wield martial weapons blessed
by their god, in case a point needs to be made with force.
Envoys are the celestials sent into war on behalf of the god,
to the border of other hallows to speak with rival gods face
to face, or to enact judgment against wayward tribes. A
wrathful envoy is a terrible sight, and—with their blinding
light—may be the last sight a mortal ever beholds.

IMAGE BEARER

Sometimes called avatars or “little gods,” image bearers are
celestials made in the image of the god themselves, shaped
to carry a message as if from the very mouth of the god.
Image bearers are a rare sight, usually glimpsed only on
high holy days or in official negotiations between warring
gods or clans. An image bearer is a great risk for a god to
send out, as it often requires a great deal of the god’s
magic to create. If it is destroyed outside the hallow,
the divine magic is scattered, and it may take the god
many long days to reclaim its wasted power.

HIGH SHAMAN

In large clans, many shamans may serve the same god,
often focusing on individual domains of the god’s power.
They all answer to a high shaman, whose gifts with divine
magic are astonishing and fearsome. High shamans are
half-immortal, usually given some greater access to long
life and health by the god they serve, that they can serve
them better and longer.

SORC ER ER

Clans look to sorcerers for their basic magical needs. While
a sorcerer is awarded no special status in the clan based on
their arcane talents, they can be quite dangerous if aroused
to combat.
