Abbot

Abbot
Realm	Arthurian
Archetype	Devout
Motto	For Realm, for Honor, and for Beer!

In a world without Veilstorms, Abbots would spend lives removed from the world, looking after their religious charges. In the current world, they spend decades in cloisters, studying and honing their magical and physical abilities, as well as their personal recipe for nature’s greatest gift: beer. Once they reach the pinnacle of raw power within their respective religious orders, they become worthy to enter the world to fight for their Realm. Abbots have a fondness for intoxicating beverages, especially those from their own order, and most importantly, for beer.
