Tanealian Priest/Priestess
Occupying the esteemed position of a Tanealian Priest or Priestess in the Military guild of Daab is reserved only for those who are deemed worthy. Guided by Pimaata, they are often inducted by higher members of the guild. The Taneali are lightfooted, knowledgeable and are adept at magic. Much of the power and grandeur of Daab has come from and been inspired by these qualities. A Tanealian Priest or Priestess has Pimaata's blessing and possesses a wisdom attained by few. Their unyielding belief in Pimaata, apart of the Seraa religious doctrine, defines their duties. Though a majority of their time is spent with other Tanealian Priests or Priestesses at religious temples, especially those above their own rank, some time is often spent within active military service, utilising their powers of healing and prayer to assist other military units. Again, Tanealian Priests or Priestesses progress through various levels within the temple (Military guild). These are heavily based upon Tanealian Seraa tradition, and as such have not changed very much throughout history. Once inducted into a temple, beginning at the ottang guild level, the Tanealian Priest or Priestess learns ancient scripts, some magical and others not, that pertain to Pimaata and the Seraa religion. They must continually expand their knowledge and adhere to four main pillars of Seraa to move through the ranks of the temple. The first is an undying devotion and belief in Pimaata, the second an inner tranquillity through the first and religious activities, the third kindness and generosity to all, and the fourth is paying homage to the Pimaata-blessed ascension of the Daab royal family. Through these four pillars, a Priest or Priestess can progress through the temple's ranks, gaining knowledge, respect, piety and responsibility along the way. The fourth pillar is often accompanied by a visit to the royals in Daab at some point in the Priest or Priestesses lifetime, while other pillars are continual tasks woven into religious life at the temple.
