Base Class: Warlock
The Zarratan church is a little known religious faction residing in the elemental plane of earth. These warlocks gain their powers from the powerful Zarratans, often called "World Turtles" by its members. With a lot of protective magics in their posession, they are frontline fighters in conflicts which are more likely to be used to defend than to attack but not all of them are as benevolant as some believe. "If you carry the world on your shoulders, then it is your duty to pluck the weeds."
Their Holy site is the Temple of the Many Worlds, which is located in a lush underground sanctuary within the realm of Earth. All members off the Zarratan church are initiated within this temple by performing the Ritual of Chukwa, which includes being buried alive with one arms sticking out of the dirt. As the energies of the earth swirl around the innitiate, they will be "claimed" by the earth, creating a bond with the life energy of a world turtle who accepts to be the patron of the new warlock. Only once the Zarratan's primordial moss climbs up the person's arm is the initate allowed to rise out of their shallow grave, born anew as an acolyte of the World Turtles.
The primordial moss will be a permanent part of the warlock. Tied to their soul, the moss is a visual representation of the Warlock's bond with their patron. New initiates have a small patch of moss that can freely move around on their skin, whereas the Elders of the Church can be cloaked entirely by the moss. This does not restrict your armor or clothing options.
