Saleera

His Holyness

06-S

**Saleera** is a player in the Piglin Empire.

Since November 2021 he is the High Priest of the Piglin Faith and the caretaker of Babar.

Saleera is one of the most powerful piglins in the Empire.

Saleera lives in a cave in Imperial City, close to the God of Fire. He is one of the most outspoken priests concerning humans killing pigs, working himself into rageful speeches against the grieveances of the human kingdoms.

## **Appearance**

The most striking feature of Saleera is his albinism. His skin is milky white and his eyes are red as sores which makes him stand out in any crowd. He dresses in a priestly black robe with golden brim. This was the first robe he received upon becoming an acolyte.

Nowadays, he sports a unique black armor with orange and yellow jewels and rubies red as blood. He is recognized in his tall popely hat, which bears the Flame of Babar and makes him almost a block taller than other players.

## **Personality**

Saleera is very hostile towards other religions, not trusting them or the humans who worship them.

## **History**

Saleera was born an albino in the Nether. His parents, whomever they might've been, took this variant as a sign of great misfortune and cast him away. Piglet Saleera was found by a traveller who brought him to an orphanage, where he lived in a small barrack with 60 other piglets. Saleera would later reminiscence that in an orphanage you are always surrounded by people, but you are always alone.

The orphanage was owned by the Temple of Babar which would regularly come to test new piglets for any signs of being gifted with the power of the flame. Appearantly the young piglet made quite an impression because despite his difference, in his fifth year he was the only piglet in all the Nether to be brought to the temple as an acolyte.

Upon taking the young albino in, they soon came to realize that he was unexpectedly favored by Babar, who left his fires and came to touch the young piglin. The priests took this as a sign of divine selection and focused their efforts on the training and education of the acolyte.

Fire Magic that took other priests decades to master he would learn within the year, for he was talented besides being gifted. Secrets of the will of Babar that would take others months to figure out, he could dechiper within moments.

He would get his priestly robes upon entering service in Imperial City, these robes he still wears to this day underneath his armor and insignia of office.

Within a couple of years, the Emperor took notice of the talented Fire Mage who's power had grown to be only second to Tegula's himself, and named Saleera the new High Priest of their religion. The old High Priest was fed to Babar as is customary.

The ascension of Saleera was complete. During his rule over the Temple, the religion would take on a fervous outlook and become more fundamentalistic.

## Recent events

Saleera constructed the Temple in Snoutzibar, before it was refurbished into a Commonhouse for the Piglin people.

During the First Memnon Conference the High Priest recieved extra-judicial powers from the Emperor, taking over the role as official second in command from the ousted governor king Private.

## **Abilities**

* **Overall Abilities:** If the Piglin Empire is the powder keg, Saleera is the spark. Probably one of the most dangerous piglins alive.

However, his knowledge, skill and power makes him a force to be reckoned with.
* **Mastery of Fire:** He can freely use all types of fire magic, except the Soul Fire. He is completely immune to fire damage.
* **Religious Fervor**: Saleera is a demagog and great speaker, his presence will stiffen piglin resistance and his own mad rampages makes him a priest the warriors want to follow into battle.
