    One more quick question!

    Hey guys & gals!

    One more quick question - since I recently reevaluated my outlook on
    priests of Belinik, I thought I better check in with you guys on the
    this one:

    Just what is the likelihood that a Tsarevo would welcome a priestess of
    Kriesha into a unit of men, to help with the battle (like, for instance,
    use of a call of lightning spell to soften up the enemy?)

    Now my instinct is to say that priestess' of Kriesha wouldn't get
    involved in a battle ... but, what do you all say? Wouldn't that be a
    problem for the rest of the warriors if they had a priestess fight for
    them ...

    Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Darren

    The Vos have no problems with women soldiers. At first it will be
    difficult for the woman to proove herself and she will have a harsher
    time then male warriors. If she prooves herself, she will be accepted as
    an equal. She might even be treated with more respect, because every
    male knows that it takes a lot more power (of will and body) for a woman
    to become a warrior than a man.

    As for the priestesses of Kriesha, I see them as the manipulators and
    powers behind the throne. They made the unification between Beliniks
    priests possible and in my opinion they prevent a lot of the strife that
    is caused by Beliniks priests.

    Beliniks priests might earn respect, Kriesha priestess are greatly
    feared and never respected. They do work together and killing one would
    invite the wrath of a complete temple (unlike Belinik who would argue
    that if the priest was to weak to defend himself, he had it coming).
    Since they will not fight fair and openly as the priests of Belinik,
    there is almost nothing a warrior can do about it. They might even
    punish to offender by making a neigbor attack them at a weak moment.
    Even when the priestess who had angered the tsarava was acting alone,
    the temple would punish the killer. It is the right of the priestessess
    of Kriesha to punish their own and no one may intervere. No tsareva in
    his right mind would dare to disobey a direct order from Kriesha.
    Luckily these priestesses don't work direct and a priestess who did that
    would invite the wrath of the rest of her temple. If the warriors decide
    enough is enough, they would not stand a chance.

    Anyway, they will seldomly directly involve themselves in a battle. But
    that is not because the Vos would refuse them that right, that is
    because they don't want to do that, themselves.
