(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Most churches use analogy and allegory to describe the traits of their deities, as well as the proper attitude their faithful should maintain. It's not unusual for these analogies to compare crusading gods and their clerics to elements of dragonkind. After all, dragons are formidable creatures considered by many to be symbols of deific power. In a few churches, the use of allegory becomes so strong that certain worshippers actually begin to refer to the church itself as a holy dragon, and to themselves as parts of that dragon. Swift wings are church servants who see themselves as the fast-moving, hard-hitting crusaders of their god's cadre of worshipers.
