Tovare's Halo
A small pendant bestowed upon a worthy soul by Tovare herself, this pendant can be activated to cause a silvery-gold halo to emit from its bearer. This not only shields the bearer from harm, but protects their nearby allies, as well.
Tovare is the goddess often portrayed as being in charge of the Celestial Council. She professes the need to cultivate the world around you, always leaving it better than you found it. She typically takes the hard road of offering redemption to those that have wronged her, rather than becoming vengeful.
