About[]
The Adepts (Acolytes) carry the Pythian power—not the Initiates—they have to for training purposes. They all receive basic instruction in the Pythian arts, and the one who masters them the best is often selected as the heir. It also allows for circumstances when an heir dies or is deposed. There has to be someone else who can take over, who has been trained. They are also available to help the Pythia in times of need—when a mission is more hazardous than she feels would be prudent to handle alone.[1]
Character[]
The current group of Acolytes:

Other Details[]
