+Restorative Worship - Reinvigorated a shrine with a gathering of Theodrans or allies to Theodra.
+Unwelcome - Elimination of invaders of New Riseport who also stole a wolf head from a Theodran shrine.

TIER THREE
Show extended worship, with two months OOC since achieving T2.
[4/18/22]
Describe the three most prominent relevant deeds they've done since their last rank up.
+The Grating End -A dangerous hunt on the sea for a long-haunting Pale Beast. The fight almost threw Cieren off the ship to the maws of the creature, but the day was won out.
+The Blooding - A hunt for boars that turned into the discovery of a two-legged foe, seemingly demented by a demonic influence. Also first use of Ready in its Artifact form.
+A Trek of Faith - A long, relatively peaceful pilgrimage semi-lead by Cieren. But mostly steered by companions trusting one another. It proved a peaceful time, with only slight finger-frosting. The shrine at Stoltfar was prayed at, and the shrine in the mountains was reached and prayed at.
The character must have earnest and genuine faith to their Divine.
Cieren has pushed her body, mind, and heart into the faith of Theodra. Since her arrival, it seemed she was destined to find Theodra as a being that sang to the nature of her reckless self. Her recklessness has been honed into dauntlessness. She seeks to be worthy of her blessings, and use it for the defenseless--and against gluttons of all wants.
Evidence of a more unique understanding and outlook towards their own faith.
From the earliest points of her life, Cieren has dared to challenge the social expectations of the world's cultures. She had the benefit of learning a Sooleran freedom,
while being hindered under the weight of an extreme Anhalder household. The mold always felt unnatural to try and fit into, and at worst, dishonest. Upon her escape to Storm's landing, and her ventures across Altera, she's come to understand that monsters take many forms. Politics, social class, groups of all beliefs, dark networks in the underbelly of society--all of it no different than what monsters one finds in the wilderness. Save one. There was no agenda in the wilds. Kill or be killed, conquer or be conquered, and yet...none of it in excess. The goal merely: survival. The wilderness elaborated these truths to Cieren, and re-contextualized what it meant to live with honor while being true to the nature of surviving an ever-turning world. Care for your body and mind, thank Her for the meal sustaining you, protect your family as the wolf does, do not fall prey to naivety, do not surrender, and bare your teeth at those who threaten your charge.
Must show evidence in their log of teaching another something thematic to their Divine. (Hunting, Fighting, Dancing, etc)
+Showed a vision of Theodra to the recovering shipwreck victim, Anya. The discussion was a teaching on a Theodran response to trauma in the cycle of life.
+Cieren and Anya crossed paths once again, and it seemed the girl had a few weapons and gear in the short time apart. To another present, she declared she sought to protect herself and hunt those that harmed her and would harm again. Cieren's previous lesson seemed to have inspired, and on the spot she gave Anya a lesson in archery that the girl eagerly took. She pledged her services to that learning.
+Sparring with Lysander, Hysope, and Sayuire.
+Crafted a holy symbol for one who has lost faith--hopefully not for very long.
Must have at least five instances in their divine log where they have personally done something significant in the name of their faith separate to the event(s) above.
+Public Hunting Party - A mission that began in an effort to cull too-successful predators and prey ended with the discovery of undead hordes--and the wrangling of one, angry bear.
+Contributed to espionage in Queensport. This includes weeks of scoping the city's underground among the vagrant and poor--all in the name of tracking and eliminating a crime ring involving dubious vyres and murder.(There is no event page, but it is Blarg's campaign.)
+Echoes - A hopeful rescue mission for children gone missing--the discovery is a horde of undead, and a sorrowful elimination.
+Securing the Blightlands Pt.1 - A mission out to the Blightlands to determine the cause of the uncanny silence, or a way to preserve that silence. There's a run in with a vyre, and some 'hands'-y beasts from out of the ground.
+Cieren's goals and history lead to an offer by the Rangers. She wrangled her choices; Silver Conclave and Rangers. In the end, she knew her stalking grounds were closest to Storm's Landing, and her tutors in Theodra needed aid. For this exchange, she has submitted herself to a new, grueling training under Jaden Seeker.
+Under request of the Sentinel Ranger Somnastra, Cieren investigated two leads marked on a map. With Hysope, Jaden, and Ced, she explored the two points and they discovered two different rifts, with similarities and differences in the making of their altars...and portals.
They must also pick one of the following paths:
[To Guide Another]
Ultimately they must guide another into the rank of T1 and showcase at least ten ways they assisted doing so. This can be through lessons, discussions, or other ways you feel are significant in the journey of the student. They must reach T1 before you can apply for T3.
[To Great Lengths]
They must showcase ten additional instances of significance in the name of their Divine. These should be of importance, be it through protecting a group, hunting down something of significance, the poisoning of a town, or some other action. Why these actions are considered significant should also be added to your logs, how your character personally feels them necessary or important.
+A mission to scale a massive statue and eliminate a Skraag effigy. This was Cieren's second, but in a more precarious location. This mission was a marker of her leading, as opposed to following and obeying, to understand the full control and awareness that goes into Ranger work. As well as obeying and understanding the application of Theodran tenets in such a scenario.
+Exorcism of one Ezmith--with the aid of Somnastra, Raelur, and those witnessing the ordeal. This event followed the crowd discovering Ezmith's infernal status at the trial for Aleksei Ivanov. For Cieren, it was another testament to her training as an extension of Theodra in a fight against the gluttinous and unnatural.
+Cieren was given the task of testing a fellow, prospective Ranger (Hysope) in tracking and hunting. Although the Rangers aren't strictly Theodran, her training and skill in the woods made the cat and mouse game possible. In this way, she was also granted the chance of testing and challenging Hysope in the wild woods. With Cieren as the predator and game.
+What We Find in the Shadows - As part of the ongoing war with demons, Cieren and her fellow Rangers trekked through the Rift. The mission was to scout for intel, whatever form that took. It lead to the dread of fighting Fiends and Underlins--and a very massive, armored villain of mysterious functionality. As her knowledge has grown, this mission marked Cieren amongst the warriors in the group. Trust had been let to her abilities. The mission nearly cost her life, but she stood firm and returned with all companions.
+Trail of the Crone - A journey to the north to eradicate Cultists. What was found was a young girl under threat, rescued by the Rangers--though her family was lost. Cieren aided in clearing the way to the entrance, though was concussed by a bludgeon to the head. (Had to leave unexpectedly OOC)
+A Valiant Retreat - Cieren showed up to this with full intent to help pull Marian out--no questions were asked, only action executed. Marian is her Theodran teacher and guide, her first steer on the road to the Wolf. Unfortunately, her body could not be seen. But others she managed to rescue with Som and Quill.
+Grouse and Grievings - A hunt rounded by Cieren in a moment of mourning her lost, Theodran mentor. During this hunt, she was able to guide and encourage Sayuire--and in a spirit, revisit the things Marian had impressed upon her so long ago. Several were in attendance, grounding themselves in the 'now' when all seemed so uncertain.
+The Missing Caravan - Cieren lead a group of Rangers into a wreckage of demonic-mimics, guards, and Soolerans. After much investigation and chomping, possessed objects, they located half of the Sool they were charged to find. Along with wounded Landsguard. She acted as translation during this journey, mediating the Marjash during the event.
+Exorcism of one Bernard - in attendance of Somnastra's work on young Bernard, Cieren stood as witness and aid with the sprinkling of Holy Water. The boy was almost lost, but Somnastra's determined soul wrenched him from the clutches.
+A Waltz of Arrows - An ambush on a demon party, and the first mission following Cieren's graduation to full Rangerhood. The mission was smooth, executed crisply by the Rangers who made off without injury.
+Scour of the Silent - The Rangers apply their skills of stealth and tracking--a mission to find a point of attack on the fortress in the hellscape.
+Valorous - A mission into the sweltering, to begin breaking down the final strongholds and spires on the journey to the end of this war. Cieren was archery support--but a bolt from the other end 'grounded' Somnastra and broke Cieren's leg. Though she pushed on, she eventually had to surrender to her leg and keep near the recovered Som. (OOC had to leave.)

+Operation Heartbreakin - Aided in the party leading Ashna safely to the Ivory King's fortress for the Exalt to perform her personal mission. Unwittingly, Cieren heard the whisper of her late mother within the circle of a spell cast by Ashna--she had not known she had died.

Universal Passives
|| PROVIDENCE ||
The blessed’s soul is warded by their faith in their Divine. If something tries to possess them, or they’re targeted by an effect that is functionally identical to possession, the blessed may roll a d6 save to resist it. If they roll their tier or lower on the d6, the possession fails and has no effect. They are additionally fully immune to any attempts to lay claim to their soul (in terms of it being trapped, imprisoned, or otherwise by some entity. This is not expected to come up much in RP, but exists for flavor). For curses or afflictions like Vyrism or Spiritblessed, they may resist it outright or optionally roll a possession save against it.
|| SPIRITUAL WEAPON ||
By ritually praying over a weapon for one hour, the blessed may imbue it with some measure of the divine influence. The weapon will glow with the strength of torchlight in a color thematic to the divine, and intangible foes or foes that are otherwise immune or resistant to attacks from mundane weapons always take some amount of damage from successful attacks with it. Only one weapon may be imbued at a time. For bows, the effect applies to all arrows fired from it.
|| IMBUED WEAPONS ||
Any weapon wielded by the blessed is touched by their Divine, imbuing it with greater ability to smite their foes. This offers no additional mechanical effect beyond causing extra damage; it’s less significant than the weapon itself, but adds enough punch to be tangible. The fire does not ignite, the poison does not kill, etc. For creatures or summons with a set number of 'hits,' it counts as dealing an additional hit.
|| AETHERSIGHT ||
The blessed can see the presence of magic as a faint aura outlining spells, artifacts, or similar magical items and effects. This aura appears purple for arcane spells, and white for divine spells. They gain a bonus die on rolls to discern illusions, and have no penalty on awareness checks to detect invisible foes.
