Backstory:
Paladins Of Mira. One of the many Holy Orders, devotees of the Goddess of Love, Light and Life, an organization where the stories and reputation they have spreads far beyond what should be physically possible. Ethereally beautiful warriors of light, banishing corruption and slaying terrible demons, but also conducting purification rituals that have never been witnessed or remembered by any. An organization shrouded in so much myth that if even a tenth of the wild stories about these lovely ladies was true, it would have the world twirled around its thumb.
At least, thats what Janette would know, if the years of training under the discipline of Mira had not purged her of most of her accumulated knowledge. Since Paladin-Captain Rosella had taken Janette under her wing two months ago, Rosella had inducted Janette into the Miran ways of purification, sharpening her skills and faith into an appropriate vessel to take on the spirit of Mira directly into herself. With each new ritual of devotion Janette learned from Mira, she could feel more and more of her years of hardship be washed away, years accumulated while in service to her home of Chelburg. She saw in the Miran Paladins a way to continue her quest for justice, a way to quench corruption and evil at the source rather than addressing its symptoms. Mira communed directly with her faithful to cleanse the world, a communion that Janette saw Rosella embrace to charge fearlessly into the deepest pits of corruption possible. And when Janette accompanied Rosella to cleanse a house or a village of corruption, all Janette could remember of the experience was the joy and bliss of being near a beautiful naked goddess, a being of pure light radiating love and comfort.
Most of Janettes knowledge was now clean, with only the briefest fragments of her old life still lingering in her mind. 'You feel it too, don't you my dear.' Rosella said with a smile, the same warm smile that inspired Janette when she was searching for meaning in that dirty Chelburg bar so many months past, a whole lifetime ago. 'You have learned to remove your burdens and keep only your skills, close to being a perfect vessel for Mira to commune with you directly.' Rosella looked around at the barren farm the pair were standing in, the elderly farmers standing nearby as they looked on at their blighted land. 'Today is the day I shall teach you the last rituals of devotion, the way to open yourself fully and embrace Mira. The first step will be cleansing the source of the corruption nearby, and for this task I shall have you fighting by my side, not serving as my squire. The dangers of fighting corrupted are entirely unlike anything you experienced as a soldier. Are you ready, my dear?'
