MARAN BRIGADE 'HOLY BRIGADE OF THE PHOENIX'
In the war against the Darkness it has been said that the Acolytes of the
Golden Sun are the Shield of the Light. If so, then the Holy Brigade of the
Phoenix is the Sword to complement it.

Spearheaded by the followers of Shokai, who seek the total eradication of all
evil, the Holy Brigade is comprised of those Lightwalkers who are willing to
embrace the crusade which the Maran have undertaken. The Holy Brigade has
joined in vow to never rest and never falter while evil walks the land.  The
offensive nature of this crusade strongly discourages applications from
within the guild of Healers, and others unable to stand alone and strike out
against the encroaching tides of darkness.

Those that desire to become Soldiers of the Brigade must be stout of heart,
pure of mind, and indomitable of spirit. All, and more, will be stressed to
breaking in the endless crusade against Darkness.  If you feel worthy, come
not unblooded before one of the commanders of the Brigade.

Power:                  Level: Echelon:
Mantle of the Phoenix   15     Squire
Eyes of Flame           20     Maran
