GLorious ServiToRs IN FaERUN Glorious servitors are found primarily in the larger cities of ‘Mulhorand, and co a lesser extent in Murghom, Semphar, and ‘the eonquered lands of Unther The glorious servitos of Horus: [Re and Anhur may also be encountered in border outposts defending Mulhorand from outse threats. Many of those who have attained high levels in the prestige class also hold positions of importance in Mulhorand society and act on matters of state on behalf of their patron deities. Sc's glorious vervitors, hamever, tend to assume less prominent pestions in Mulhorand so that they can carry out their deity’ poisonocs plans from the shadows. Glorious servitors who travel to other regions of FFacrin sometimes serve as ambassadors and spies For Mulhorand, scctmulating information while carrying out their deities’ plans ‘Many of those who have atained high levels in the prestige cass hold pestions of importance in Mulhorand society and act on imarters of state on behalf of their patron deities. Glorious servitors have no common organization, since each is frst and foremost & member of her particular church. NPC Reactions A glorious servitor isa champion of her faith just asa paladin or a hightevel cleric is, and she is treated in much the same way by the alles and enemies of her church. Anyone favorably. disposed toward a cleric of Anbur, for instance, should also be favorably disposed conard 2 glorious servitor of Anhus. Almost all Muthorandi begin with helpful attitude toward glorious secvitrs of any deities except Set and Sebek. (Geri, paladins, and servants of nou-Mulborand deities are ‘generally suspicious of a glorious servitor’s motives and begin vith an indifferent or unfriendly aevitade toward her.

Grorious SERVITORS IN TH. GAME. “Most glorious servitors undertake missions on behalf of their churches in the lands of the Old Empires. In addition, they sometimes investigate matters of interest to the Mulhorandi in foreign lands, They often explore newly discovered dungeons, vvork against Thayan agents, and spy out the strength of various rulers and wizards - ‘As a character attains higher levels in the prestige clas, she gains incpeasing fame among the faithful. This added recognition means that she receives an increasing number of ‘requests for assistance and advice from rankandsfile members ff her church, Likewise, she becomes a target for enemies of the feith—particularly the glorious servitors of rival gods. But fame ist all bad—the character can expect a warm welcome ‘and a good dose of hospitality whenever she visits a place where her patron is venerated, Members of the faithful may also be able to provide useful information or timely warnings of impending trouble, Requests for aid aren't always troublesome, cither—the character can accept or reject tasks at her own, discretion (though she cant expect to go far if she makes «abit, of flatly refusing orders from supérios), and some missions can lead to satisfying and profitable adventures as well a5 increased rank and status in the faith, A senior glorious servitor seldom gets ondered around, and she may even get a chasis to give & fw orders of her own, : ee a Abapration Jn campaigns set ouside Mulhorand and its-nvitens, most lovious sritors have conneetions with a Mulhorasd enclave ‘of some kind.
