Lore

Little is known of the life of the Spirit of Mercy before her Ascension. It is believed she was nothing more than a caring priestess of Jadaia who saw to the needs of the impoverished and sick with such selflessness, that she was raised as a Spirit of Imarel when her natural life ended. Philisteenja appears as a human female with blonde hair, blue eyes and favors pale blue robes. She carries no weapons, though she requires none. Those who seek to attack her fall prey to her Aura of Empathy and simply cease to attack, instead either weeping for their actions or wandering off.

Priests of the Spirit of Mercy favor pale blue robes and will sometimes wear down cloaks made from the feathers shed by their sacred bird, the White Jayhawk Those who worship the Spirit of Mercy include healers, care-takers, midwives and the suffering. Her temples are located across Imarel and are notable by the White Jayhawk that tend to nest around them.
