Priests of Phaulkon wear headdresses of feathers in services and rituals, one feather for each level of experience. Phaulkon’s priests always wear at least one feather at all times. In addition to feathers, priests of Phaulkon always wear white during ceremonies. During travel and for everyday labors they wear various shades of blue.

Avian creatures (including hippogriffs, griffons, and other such partially avian creatures) will never attack a priest of Phaulkon unless the priest attacks it first.

I created an order of warrior-priests to act as a sort of amazonian bodyguard to the priests of Phaulkon. I intended them to be a varient of the paladin - a holy warrior. I haven't put their abilities into games stats yet, I just use them to flesh out the religion a bit. I described them briefly here:
A group of the Daughters of Phaulkon have set up in the Siege of Westkeep, led by a high level priestess. Their home is a temple high in the Good Hills. Again, these characters are just to give some flavor to the religion, but perhaps some gaming stats could be drawn up for them if there's any interest.
