Life Cleric

Origin

In the diverse and mystical realm of Alavir, the Life Clerics stand as living testaments to the benevolence of Aurelia, the Goddess of Vitality. Their origin is rooted in a dark chapter of Alavir's history when a devastating plague ravaged the lands. Amidst the chaos, the desperate prayers of the afflicted reached Aurelia, who, moved by their pleas, chose a select few to become her earthly conduits of healing and life.

History

Endowed with Aurelia's divine essence, these chosen individuals became the first Life Clerics, gifted with unparalleled healing abilities. They could mend bones, cure diseases, and even bring people back from the brink of death. Over time, they established sanctuaries and hospitals across Alavir, most notably the Alavirian Hospital in the grand city of Alairea, where they serve as the backbone of the institution.

Bonds

The Life Clerics share a profound bond with the people they heal, drawing strength from the gratitude and joy of those they have aided. Each tear of happiness, each sigh of relief, and each whispered prayer of the dying fuels their resolve to continue their sacred work.

Role in Alavir

In Alavir, the Life Clerics are revered as saviors and healers. They are often called upon in times of crisis, their abilities providing a beacon of hope for the afflicted. They stand as bulwarks against dark forces that seek to corrupt life, defending the essence of Alavir itself.
