I have a Lore question about Lliira. While recruiting for my Chondath game, one of my players is playing a Warpriest of Lliira (we are playing Pathfinder 1e). However, I thought only Talos, Tempus, and possibly Tyr invested Warpriests. However, the player justified his choice by telling me that there is an organization of militant priests within Lliira's priesthood. So I allowed the character to be a Warpriest.
Question is: is he right? Does Lliira invest Warpriests who worship her?

| Are you thinking of Scarlet Mummers? They are not necessarily spellcasters and do not fit the trope of armored templars. I would depict a Scarlet Mummer more as a chaotic good version of Harley Quinn. They operate as much as assassins as warriors against the forces of evil, particularly Loviatans. I hope this helps you. |

| Let your player know each Scarlet Mummer is personally monitored by Llira herself. For all a Scarlet Mummer's power and independence from what passes for church hierarchy, she must obey direct orders regardless of personal wants and conveniences. This obedience is every bit as strict as a Hammer of Grimjaws paladin getting a direct order from Tyr. |

Okay, I'll let him know that before the start of their first adventure. |

| To note, I absolutely cannot see a Lliiran war priest wearing things like plate armor. For instance, the Scarlet Mummers were basically "dance fighters" with blade boots, etc... I'd be hard pressed to say "warpriest".... more inclined to say maybe "multiclassed with rogue, fighter, etc.... |
