Arcana of Ithia: The Zealots.

The Zealots are fanatical holy warriors of the Gods. They can channel their raw devotion into powerful enhancements for their arms and armor. Dangerous as many are willing to die for their cause, they are known for hunting abominations, horrors, and other dangerous monsters. Known for their long polearm maces with a long, thin spike at the head.  

The Zealots are limited in their powers, able to infuse in their armor and weapon the strength of their conviction increasing the durability and stability of the material it’s made of, channel their devotion and fanaticism to raw energy which bursts forth from the head of their polemaces when they collide often sending smaller foes flying or if the spike enters something they tend to pop. They can channel their God’s elements around their gear, giving it a mirror glow, emitting heat, static, or draining warmth, causing cold.  Though they must be careful, undermining their beliefs and doubts can weaken or break their powers. 

The Zealots are not exceptionally organized and belong to various churches. They have no formal rankings, but their numbers are picked from those undergoing training to serve as Paladins.
