A faris (pl: farisan; fem: farisa) was a holy warrior of Zakhara.[1][note 1]
Requirements[]
Farisan had no special requirements, though the vast majority of these warriors were good-natured.[1]
Role[]
Farisan were the mortal champions of their gods. This level of devotion went beyond that of even paladins as paladins leaned toward fighting for good and law. The will of a faris's god (and church) took priority above all other matters. A faris also played an important role in recruiting followers to their god's path.[1]
Holy warriors went out of their way to aid others fighting for their gods. Goods, services, supplies, and shelter were just a few benefits that could be expected.[1]
Farisan were obedient followers of their god's church. As such they were expected to carry out orders from their superiors even in the face of certain death.[1]
Equipment[]
All armor and weapon types were available to farisan. Additionally, they usually carried the holy symbol of their chosen god.[1]
