As a Priest or Holy Warrior progresses through the Church, they come to appreciate the responsibilities that fall so squarely upon their shoulders: The day to day lives of their flocks with the problems that stem from family, trade, justice and injustice, aging, death, birth, love, and hate. The demands of the Clergy and Church councils to maintain the status quo between the faiths and to ensure that their Church is well represented among the other powers.
Evils rise that need to be fought and guildsmen call upon the faithful time and time again for their assistance in miracle and deed of arms. Those that can transcend these burdens and continue on their way are exemplars of their faith, however in a society that provides the world with so many followers of said faith exemplars tend to be ten a blade in many ways.
In order to further hone the talents, belief and grace the Clergy gathered to form an order of people to represent the causes of their religions, originally totalling no more than a hundred from each all faiths and called the Harmony of Champions. Through the years since its creation the Champions have grown into a fully blown order where the ways of each Deity is carefully observed.
A Champion of Serenity represents the faith of Yarrianne, her angels and her Archangels; mercy, peace, family and the other perfections of grace are all taken to the heart of the Champion. Within the heart of the Champion the truth of Yarrianne burns like a fever guiding them to the reconciliation of her peace among the wicked. Only followers of Yarrianne who are pure in their faith can hope to carry the torch for the Goddess. Champions of Serenity are revered in the world so few and far between are they; all of the folk that they meet are their family, all that they meet deserve their love. There is no cause that they will not consider, there is no task that they will not bear the burden of for another. Many claim that the role of a Champion of Ipseity gives itself for the people but it is the Serene ones that hold the people most dear. It cannot be underlined enough how much of themselves they are willing to give to another and how deeply the loss of a single life is felt by them if they had it in theirĀ power to prevent such loss.
