The Consecrated
The consecrated are a group of mortals made unique by the gods selecting them to be imbued with their domain's essence. The minimal number of gods to consecrate a person is three, but any number of them can choose to do so. Those chosen are selected shortly after their birth.
Consecrated individuals are rare and some don't even know their status. In addition to receiving abilities related to the domains of the gods who consecrated them, the consecrated are granted intense, divine charisma that is impossible to resist, save for other divine beings (i.e. the gods, other consecrated). The consecrated have a higher rate of success when calling to a deity or otherwise using their paeans and they all have pleasant singing voices. Consecrated persons are immune to divine magic from other mortals (consecrated, clerics).
