Itharel
|
Tahariae is the patron of the Clerical Order, and once upon a time many descendants served under him. Among those proxies were Clerics and war clerics. However, four individuals would always be chosen as Tahariae's principal champions and upon a time, existed purely to carry out his will on the mortal plane. These four were dubbed the Itharel. Hope, Wisdom, Justice, and Valor were the names bestowed upon the four originals and should any deviate from the path they were promptly disconnected.
This disconnection was more fatal than that of the common cleric's and could often result in their untimely demise with few exceptions. The Itharel's body was different from that of the average descendant's and therefore they could channel more of Tahariae's power through themselves, enhancing their healing and war clerical abilities and exemplifying the raw power the Aengul of Purity had once gifted the Clerics before they fell out of his favor. They did not age, but took on the appearance they once held in life.
The first Itharel were birthed in Anthos when the Harbingers wrought havoc across the realm, Tahariae saw his servants and other mortals battle the darkness, but the tide was clearly not in their favor. The Order grew fewer and fewer in number and the ones who remained wistfully prayed to their god, seeking aid. Thus, Tahariae granted the four most devoted members with greater power, resulting in the rise of the Itharel. They once held the duty of disconnecting rogue Clerics and others who abused the boons that Tahariae bestowed upon them.
