SHELD
Master Abjurer, The High Protector, Lord of the Demon-Bane
Neutral Good
Altar-Shield Tower
The Master Abjurer is one of the patrons of the Towers of
Magic, he is the Lord of all abjurers, but his clergy includes the
travelling priests known as Spell-Shields and the temple priests called
Air Walkers. The Spell-Shields are roaming priest/mages, or priests,
that defend against the ravages of uncontrolled magic. They find
regions of wild magic and eliminate them or seek creatures who are not
in their proper plane and dismiss them to their homes. The temple
priests are also often multiclass priest/mages, but do not seek the
ravagers of magic, they only undo the magic cast on people or objects.
Those who seek their help are often granted aid without any recompense
other than a complete and honest telling of the event, which is relayed
to Spell-Shields, who then seek out the person who cast the harmful
magic. Sheld (pronounced shelled) and his clergy demand that all magic
be under some level of control, even evil magic is allowed as long as
it is under some kind of supervision. In the Altar-Shield Tower, the
Proctor-Protector leads the most powerful of the Air Walkers to work on
advanced dispels and incredible dismissals. He keeps artifacts of
chaotic or wild creation to study and attempt their destruction. The
Proctor-Protector himself is constantly studying captured demons to
learn to dismiss them in a permanent manner or destroy them forever.
