Editing Into the Wild Woods: Serdek Bingol

[[Into the Wild Woods]]

Many temples have, in addition to clerics, holy warriors whose purpose is not to convert but to protect, to eliminate threats, whether reactively or proactively. These warriors
usually train in remote monasteries and temples combining religious fervor with the skills of war. They often hire themselves out as elite bodyguards to royalty and other important personages. One such type of protector is the dervish. Lightly armored, mobile, and capable of entering a battle trance, dervishes are the elite of their god’s warriors.
