Clergy of the Morrigan

NPC Class

The temple of the Morrgian is dedicated to followers of the goddess Morrigan. The Morrigan also known as The Battle Crow, Raven Queen, Phantom Queen, Queen of Nightmares, Queen of Phantoms, The Great Queen, and several other names. The temple has both dedicated Priests and Priestesses as well as Oracles that serve in her temple. Paladins and LMK Battle Clerics can also be found in the temple.
The primary role of the Priest or Priestess of the Morrigan is to help sentient beings understand and accept the roles of death and life in the universe. The priest and priestesses of the temple constantly battle against undead. Another duty of the priests and priestesses is to help shepherd souls to their afterlife. As many are fond of saying in the temple “there are worse things than death”.

Playing the Priest of the Morrigan

This is an NPC class so if you choose to play it you may gain XP and advance through the levels of the class. This also means that you would not be joining quests but instead would be working to help the other players complete quests and play in the game.
