| − | Intercessionism is a religion that believes God is unknowable by mortals and that it is hubris for mortals to direct their prayers directly to God. Instead, they direct their prayers to the Blessed Dead, those who have transcended the cycle of death and reincarnation to achieve sainthood and dwell with God in Heaven. The clergy of the Intercessionist Church are mediums, who commune with the spirits of the Blessed Dead, delivering messages of wisdom from them to the living. They are, as a result, generally skilled at dealing with the spirit world.

| − | One arm of the Intercessionist Church is the Order of Exorcists, who focus their medium abilities on dealing with spiritual problems and threats, such as ghosts and demons. Their work ranges from helping ghosts resolve problems they could not resolve in life so they can pass on to their next rebirth to combating malign spirits attacking people. They also have the traditional ability of mediums to commune with the spirits of the dead in search of answers to questions and to seek wisdom. The mediums of the Intercessionist Church also possess the following abilities: They can read people’s auras—while this does not allow them to read people’s thoughts, they can sense their emotional states, get a sense of their intentions, as well as other things, such as whether they are lying. They can physically heal people by drawing on the spiritual power of their souls. And they can spirit travel, leaving their physical bodies to travel to distant physical locations or other planes. Such travel is time consuming and leaves their bodies defenseless. Someone spirit traveling can immediately sense if physical harm comes to their body, but they must take the time necessary to travel back to it.

| − | In the recent civil wars, the Order of Exorcists found themselves opposed and even persecuted by several different factions, since they actively opposed the summoning of demons and other malign spirits as instruments of war. The Order still survives, but in much reduced numbers and socially marginalized in many places. As a result of both their marginalization and the excesses of the civil wars, there has been a proliferation of the unquiet dead and malign spirits wandering the land. The persecution the Order suffered means not only are they reduced in numbers, but fragmented and disorganized, with any organization above the regional level wiped out. Despite this, members of the Order believe they can never refuse to deal with a problem requiring their skills, even if it means helping one of those who persecuted them.
