Vowkeeper Class

Vowkeepers of Hera are champions of sacred bonds and protectors of loyalty and devotion. While often associated with women due to Hera’s role as the goddess of marriage and family, men who dedicate themselves to her ideals are equally capable of wielding her divine power. These warriors see their calling as a divine mandate, ensuring that the commitments shaping families, communities, and societies remain unbroken and honored.

A Vowkeeper’s role extends far beyond the battlefield. They are peacemakers in disputes, defenders of the vulnerable, and enforcers of divine justice. In their presence, even the most hardened hearts are reminded of the power and sanctity of trust.
