Hierophants are the exalted spiritual vanguard of the Order of Hiperia, the Sun Goddess's chosen. As ardent devotees of Hiperia, they serve as guardians of sacred tradition, interpreters of divine will, and stewards of ancient Rinian wisdom.
From the moment a child is discovered to possess divine mana, they are immediately claimed by the Order and inducted into its ranks. It is a sacred duty and an immense honor. The gifted are raised within temple halls, trained from youth in rites of devotion, divine spellcraft, and the study of celestial law. These individuals become Initiates until they are ready to one day rise as full Hierophants.
Hierophants devote their lives to illuminating the legacies of the Rin and guiding the Helrin toward spiritual ascendance. Their days are spent in sacred contemplation, the study of forgotten tomes, and the practice of divine magic. Within their solemn ranks, the greatest among them—the Hiperius Divinus—stands as the spiritual apex of Helion, the living voice of Hiperia herself.
In times of need, Initiate Hierophants accompany the Expeditionary Force, acting as spiritual anchors on distant campaigns. Their mere presence is said to invoke the Sun Goddess's protection.
Wherever they walk—be it battlefield, court, or temple—the Hierophants carry with them the unwavering flame of Hyperia, ensuring that her light never fades, no matter how far from Helion her children may roam.
