House Cleric Silvanesti Elf

House Cleric once stood as a pillar of strength and spirituality within Silvanesti society, second only to House Royal. For centuries, this house provided priests, priestesses, and lorekeepers who guided the elves in their devotion to the gods of light. However, the Cataclysm, the Chaos War, and the subsequent absence of the gods led to a significant decline in their influence. Despite these challenges, House Cleric members remained steadfast, maintaining the temples and preserving sacred lore even in the gods' absence. The recent minotaur invasion and the War of Souls devastated House Cleric, leaving few survivors. Those who remain are deeply committed to preserving what little remains of their once-great house and restoring its former glory.
