These holy warriors are the most devout and zealous members of their respective religions, and their unwavering faith allows them to tap into the divine power of their deity and wield it for their own purposes.

A High Priest is a charismatic figure, a beacon of hope and inspiration to their followers. They are also formidable warriors, capable of wielding powerful spells and weapons in battle. They are often called upon to lead their followers into battle, and they are fearless in the face of danger, confident in the knowledge that their deity will protect them.

High Priests have the ability to perform miracles, calling forth the power of their deity to heal the sick, cure the cursed, and protect the innocent. They can also channel divine energy to smite their enemies, calling forth bolts of lightning, walls of force, and other powerful attacks to bring swift justice to those who would do harm.
