Types of Followers: Those who join the church of Calandros will always walk the path of Light. And beyond simply walking the path of goodness, true followers of Calandros often take it to an extreme, working to quench even the slightest amount of darkness or even grayness in their hearts. A variety of individuals may find their path leading towards Calandros, from a quiet couple living their life in happiness and love to the holy warrior or pandion bent on destroying every last remnant of evil in the realms. Some followers may be peaceful, choosing to spread the teachings of Calandros through writings and song, while others will take up arms and strike down at evil before even thinking.

Those that have been accepted fully by the God, will have their tattoos transformed by Calandros himself, into a silver unicorn with two white roses entwined about its horn.
