Despite the fanaticism running through drop bear society, and the downright zealotry running through the most committed drop bears, drop bears lack conventional "priests" or other religious leaders—in fact, their scriptures are written in plain text Drop Bear, not even using old-fashioned language. The void left by this lack of a priesthood is filled by drop bear shamans, powerful druids who draw their power directly from the essence of the storm. The drop bear god, Calabera, has no special control over storms, but the land of Calavera is full of the storm energy necessary to fuel their power. Shamans serve as the main war mages in a drop bear war band, as Archivy magic tends towards support and Carpentry magic generally lacks combat application. |
