Servants Of Merciful Jarjura (Religious Mystic Path Trait) Minor Favorable

Jarjura is a female humanoid divinity of the Upper Dimensions who appears to belong to no specific pantheon and is not associated with any specific species/race of the worlds. Small groups of followers can be found on all the system worlds, except for Drallion (which they have no evident interest in bringing her worship to). Her followers are both male and female, but the clergy are lead by a High Priestess on each world that resides in the Grand Temple. Male clergy are in lesser positions and never head a temple, subservient to all female clergy.

The religious teachings of Jarjura are associated with life and the living, and is in direct opposition to religions associated with death, afterlife, undeath and such. It is a religion with a high belief in the natural cycle and the concept of sequential reincarnation of an immortal spirit.

Practitioners take on life long disadvantages as part of the price of their knowledge and power.

Attack spells are rare among the clergy of Jarjura, except those that can produce unconsciousness without actual Body damage to a target. Defensive magic, healing magic, and helpful spells are common in their selection of effects.

Because they are a small, scattered and are unattached to any specific greater pantheon or belief system they are not well know and may be discriminated against in some areas or even persecuted by some other religions for their beliefs and practices, but their obscurity also helps protect them much of the time..

Special Rules

All spells require Incantations.
