Legba (Character Kit)

Legba
Description: The legbas are the priests of the elements. The priests are known as Abu legbas, Keyan-legbas, Heddy-legbas, and Damon-legbas (air,
earth, fire, and water priests respectively). The legbas are mostly concerned with learning the magic of their legba (element) but they also are charged by the spirits of the elements with the protection of the element in question and the creatures who rely upon it and with maintaining a bal- ance between the four elements. Legbas usually are on good terms with one an- other and cooperate with one another to keep the evil elemental spirits, who have rebelled against their patrons, from amass- ing too much personal power and thus upsetting the balance of the elements. All legbas must be true neutral in alignment.
Role: The legbas are masters of their element and the creatures who rely upon it. Thus, abu legbas are the masters of air and flying creatures, keyan legbas are masters of the earth and the tunnelling creatures, heddy legbas are masters of fire and creatures of the desert, and damon legbas are masters of the water and aquatic creatures.
