Grandmother
Title for female-presenting priests of The Priesthood of LLontel and his Children in Chalibeth populations. Their male-presenting counterparts are called Grandfather. These names stem from a time when the Priesthood of Llontel were persecuted and had to hide among their communities.

The priesthood oversees festivities, performs ceremonies, organizes community emergency supplies and services, offers counseling services, and fosters orphans.
Benefits
Minor magics granted by the gods, community acceptance and support, participation in all community events without fees.
Accoutrements & Equipment
Grandmothers braid red ribbons into hair or jewelry, or a different color if they have chosen one of LLontel's seven children as their patron. Each carries a holy symbol of at least one of the gods and a flask of holy water. Grandmothers wear black and a personal accent color.
