Saint

Confessor

The initial calling of a Confessor Saint is a dark one where they suffered short of death for the cause of good. A Saint that survives their trial becomes stronger for it and gains a source of resilience and knowledge hard won. They spend their lives after performing their duty of recording their experiences and teaching those that will hear them so that perhaps they will not have to suffer the same in order to learn the same lessons.

Relic of the Confessor

Every Saint grows in power until a Relic of great power manifests itself to the Saint it is destined for. The powers of the Relic are unique to the Saint and cannot be used by any other unless the Saint has passed on and wills a successor to be able to wield it.
