Difference between revisions of "Deacon of Celestia"

Inheriting duties from [[Archprelate]]s and Caliphs of yore, the '''Deacon of [[Celestia]]''' is a [[mortal]] sanctioned by the [[Bloodsworn Gods]] to place a rogue [[Devotion|Devotionist]] (or wielder of [[Excision]]) under [[excommunication]]. Although any [[priest]] or [[paladin]] can be affected by its damning purview, historically this power is brought to bear only against the worst abusers of the holy gifts. The Deacon carries a relic of pure devotional power known as the [[Staff of Celestia]], first awarded to the fourth Deacon in the year 667AF. The [[Dread Ecclesiarch of Transvital Corruption]] and [[Ruinous Intercessor of Interplanar Dominion]] have analogous authority with respect to [[Necromancy]] and [[Domination]].
