Warrior Cults of Relmeenos

The Warrior Cults of Relmeenos

It is rare that the warrior cults of Relmeenos induct a non-native into the martial secrets of their training regimens, but if a warrior proves their valor and loyalty to a cult they may be formally invited to join the ranks of the Relmeenosian paragons. Outlined below are the benefits of joining the Purple Helm'd Brethren and the Sisterhood of the Rending Spear.

The Purple Helm'd Brethren
