Itharel

Tahariae has many descendants who serve him. Amongst those, clerics and war clerics. However, four individuals stand up above the rest and are chosen to be Tahariae's champions and exist to carry out his will. These four are known as the Itharel. Hope, Wisdom, Justice, and Valor. These are the names given to the four original Itharel and represent what they embody. The Itharel were once descendants, but after proving their worth to Tahariae, are changed into an immortal being. Tahariae holds onto the Itharel's souls somewhere in his realm, making sure that the Itharel carry out his command. Should an Itharel deviate from it somehow, they'll be promptly removed, usually resulting in the person's death. The one exception to this was Hosper Blackthorn who was turned back into a mortal after having served long and hard.

The Itharel's body is fundamentally different from a normal person's body. Therefore, they are able to channel more of Tahariae's power through themselves, making their healing and war cleric abilities above normal mortal clerics. Their body does not age either and is set to look however they were before they ascended.

Itharel first came about during Anthos, when the Harbingers were wrecking havoc across the realm. Tahariae saw his servants and the other mortals battling the darkness, but the tide was not in their favor. Clerics were growing few in number and the ones remaining prayed to Tahariae for aid. Thus, Tahariae granted four of the most devote greater power, resulting in the Itharel. The Itharel are responsible for carrying out Tahariae's will much more strictly than a normal cleric. They are also tasked with disconnecting rogue clerics, such as those who abuse the boon of Tahariae.
