Thea Nee'hara's following is relatively obscure in the mortal world, with few dedicating themselves to her exclusively. Those who do are often family folk or guardsmen, who prey for the angelic deity for protection for their loved ones. Priests of the archangel have a peculiar affinity with lagomorphs, with rabbits being particularly favored among her clerics. Those who follow Thea Nee'hara almost always become proficient with shield combat, for it allows them not just to protect themselves but also those who they hold dear.
