Rastafarian[edit]
The Rastafarian by İlke Ekbul |
Bard Subclass
The Rastafarian is a potent bard from the Txalcala Islands and the western coasts of Gondwana, especially the kingdoms of Njani and Walata as well as the great rain forests of Gwongo. The Rastafarians have a strict pescatarian diet and most of them consume only vegetables, milk and some eggs. They do not abuse the power of potent herbs and instead use them for rituals and communal events such as the Sacred Ganja. They practice non violence and pacifism as well as being opposed to warmonger and imperialistic power. They are worshipers of the one God they have named Jah. They sometimes ally with the Voodoo practitioners who are only the white magic users known as the Serpents of the light... but they are still wary of the Loa worshiping cults and their doctrines. Rastafarians are known to specialize into two styles of music; Roots which is soothing and healing versus Ragga which is bacchanal and festive.
