Grand Illuminator

The Grand Iluminator serves as the Winged Protector's Avatar in the event of great discord within the nation as a whole. The last to hold the status of Avatar was the High Priestess Ashlynn, who called upon her patron god to directly intervene during the so-called Twilight War, wherein a newly escaped Dysasthenia had laid siege with her Red Stallion Army to the city of Angelusia. At the time the nation was just uniting under one banner, that of the Winged Greatsword, Dysasthenia, in an attempt to destroy the fledgling nation before it had begun, used her pawns to attack. They were nearly victorious, as many supposed allies of Angelusia, most of them Elvish, abandoned the city due to their unabashed prejudice against the idea that a Shifter, viewed as a second class citizen by Elves in general, had been given the honorable position of Grand Iluminator. As such, only the Paladins of the Order of the Dawn were available to defend the capital against attack. Valiantly they held against the onslaught of both living and undead soldiers brought to bear against the city's walls,
