Queen Divine Claire

The hospitaler, she who closes wounds and banishes disease

Claire is the younger sister of Sian, also born in the Outside, before Aurellis was created. She ascended after Aurellis was created, at the appeal of her sister to Roland.

All descendants of the gods and a good proportion of other people have the ability to alter their basic shape, either between a few specific forms, or more freely. Claire extends this ability among her initiates, to allow them to force physical change upon another person, to provide healing. It is an extremely personal and invasive procedure, in its fullest forms. As such, Claire only allows it rarely, and her initiates are few and far between. However, through her temples she also provides ministry to more mundane healers, and to those who heal using magic, allowing initiates to be called by the rest of the priesthood, when needed. She accepts either males or females into her priesthood, and this is the first stage to becoming an initiate.

Claire is married to Robert the Good, creator of Sable. She is rarely seen in the Empire, living with her husband in the realm of Sable. Nevertheless, her Temples flourish, as she is obviously active in her support of them.
