Gaffe (JAF-FE)

Gaffe

Gaffe are religeous soldiers and guardians dedicated to a specific temple and act as both the protectorate and spiritual guide for pilgrims to the temple. They can perform religeous ceremonies pertaining to the god they serve if the Lector Wa'eb or any Wa'eb is not available. They often live within the temple, never traveling far from the grounds, except for divine orders from their god or Pharaoh. There’s usually only one Gaffe assigned to a temple with the possibility of another being trained.
