Han'ya/Heirophants

The Heirophant Caste

The Heirophants are the fiery demagogues and priests of the Yozis, preaching repentance and submission before the original and just rulers of Creation, and abjuring the masses to join in their most holy crusade against the gods and their servants. They often came from the most unassuming backgrounds, but have been empowered with a deep and fundamental vision of what it is to be Infernal, and what true service and faith requires. They pave the way for their Yozi masters to ascend, winning the hearts and minds of the people.

Anima Banners, Effects, and Caste Mark

The caste mark of the Heirophants is a circle with the top half empty, symbolizing the fall of the Unconquered Sun and the resumed dawn of the Green Sun over his rightful dominions.

For 1 Willpower, they may fill their words with the rage and anguish of the Yozis for a scene. They add their permanent Essence in dice to all social attacks for the remainder of the scene, and add half their Essence to their MDV. They may also shatter any ward or barrier constructed by mortal thaumaturges for 1m reflexively. They also regenerate Essence at an additional 2 motes per hour in Cecelyne, and require no food or water while crossing her.

The Heirophant anima banner is usually the color of brass or copper, and shines forth in a stabbing and painful wave.
