Third-Eye of the Daughters of Men

"How did you know they would be there?" Lillian shifted her gaze out to the scattered remnants of what remained of the heretic camp they had decimated. Their target had been unsuspecting and unprepared. Lillian was not accustomed to such things. The cloister she had come from had become fat and lazy from the lack of threats in their city.

"I could see them, child. The mother showed me where they would be. That is all there is to it. As easy as you can see the sun in the sky or the leaves on the trees. That is how easily the mother's gifts allow me to see where these snakes make their nests." Lillian furrowed her brow as she listened to Third-Eye Ayla Micah speak. I'm going to do this one day. She decided. That was her first step towards her destiny.

Mediators and Guides as much as war leaders and spiritual mentors, the Third-Eye of the Daughters of Men is said to do all of those things. She maintains order within her cloister through servant leadership and a breadth of understanding of the way the world works around her.

Qualifications

The Daughter must first be trained to understand and handle divining gifts granted to them through their position. They must have been chosen and completed their Initiate year and a day. After which, they must work among the people as a priestess of the great earth mother where they are to own nothing and must support and be supported by the people. She will then move on to combative training where she must work with, fight with and achieve the hunt of a divine threat.

Requirements

• Born to the Daughters of Men
• 30+ years of age
• Taken down at minimum 2 divine threats

Appointment

The council of elders holds a dedicated, special ceremony to anoint the new Third-Eye after the previous carrier of the title is killed, steps down, or is removed.

Duties

Third-Eye is a servant leadership position. It is their moral obligation to lead and empower the people of their cloister. They are the final say in disputes and decisions among the cloister but they are also expected to lead with fairness and understanding while also being physically engaged in the battles the cloister fights.

Accoutrements & Equipment

Every term served is accompanied by a small chevron tattoo in the center of the forehead of the Third-Eye with tick marks to indicate every year served in the position. These chevrons can be black, but often times they are accompanied by a fine colored line of adornment to indicate which cloister the Third-Eye served within.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

At any point the Third-Eye can be deemed as not being what is best for the cloister by the council of elders. If this is determined to be the case prior to the end of the first year and a day of servitude, the council will enact the rights to strip the Third-Eye of their position, where they will undergo a week of mourning for their bad decisions. This week of mourning is a week of solitude where the elders must consider and weigh their failure to the whole.
