Guardians of the Sacred Coven
These are the holy warriors of the Khanna Sect. They are trained warriors, but also practice magic, although they typically are less versed in this than the regular priestesses due to their need to practice their weapons skills. Guardians are generally junior priestesses that came to the faith with previous combat training or initiates who expressed and willingness to learn these skills to protect the coven.
Guardians typically favor the long sword and bow as their primary weapons. They tend towards using light or medium armor, typically studded leather or mail. When not preparing for battle they will dress as other priestesses of Khanna wearing green ankle length robes and flowing green or black cloaks. They will retain the cloak but wear breeches and a tunic when acting int heir warrior role.
Structure
Guardians answer to the leadership of the coven they belong to. At least in theory Guardians can become the mistress of the Coven, but the reality they usually are too busy with their responsibilities to take up a leadership roles or sufficiently immerse themselves in religious studies
Public Agenda
To defend the priestesses of the Goddess Khanna and other members of the Khanna worshiping community.
Assets
Warriors are members of a particular Coven of Priestesses so assets will depend on those of the warrior's particular coven.
History
The holy warriors are a recent addition to the faith's structure. Although the Priestesses of Khanna have traditionally been defended by the Alyite Order there has been an increasingly realization that the Order cannot always be on hand to provide protection so Covens should be prepared to protect themselves. This grew out of individual priestesses learning weapons skills and acting as protectors for their covens.
