The Beloved

The Beloved is a patron that seeks to help their warlock see the brighter side of life. The patron may be a deceased loved one, the ghost of an old friend, or a voice that fills the warlock with hope for the future. The Beloved helps their warlock by offering almost constant advice in moral situations, giving their warlock a sense of warmth that helps them throughout their many adventures. All the while, granting the warlock power and a sense of security, so they would hopefully not endure the pain of losing a beloved party member or loved one again. The Beloved sees warlock as more than just a vessel. More than just some mortal in which they grant power. They see them as a beloved friend.
