Shrine Maiden Image

Raised in devotion to the kami—benevolent spirits of nature, stars, and sacred places—you have trained as a spiritual intermediary between the mortal and divine. Through quiet rituals, sacred dances, and ancient prayers, you preserve balance and purity in the world.

Whether tending to a humble village shrine or a celestial temple adrift in the Astral Sea, you serve as a guide for the lost, a purifier of corrupted energies, and a vessel for divine blessings. Your spiritual presence is a source of comfort, protection, and mystery to those around you.

As a Shrine Maiden, you are trusted by religious leaders and respected by those who revere tradition, ritual, and the unseen. You walk the path of both serenity and vigilance, prepared to confront defiled spirits, unravel omens, and guard the harmony of the worlds.

 
Skill Proficiencies: You gain proficiency in Insight and Religion.
Tool Proficiencies: You can choose Calligrapher's Supplies or a Musical Instrument of your choice.
Languages: You learn Celestial and a Language of your choice.
Equipment: Ritual garb, ofuda charms (arcane focus), bell chime or musical instrument, scroll case, incense or paper talismans, pouch with 10 gp
 
Feature: Spirit Shrine

You maintain spiritual ties to a specific shrine or sacred place (or astral equivalent). Wherever you go, you can perform rituals or commune with spirits in areas of natural or planar resonance. Temples, priests, monks, and planar guardians will recognize your spiritual training and often offer shelter, guidance, or assistance.

Once per long rest, you may perform a short ritual to gain advantage on your next Religion or Insight check related to spirits, kami, or divine beings.
