3.5

Prophet sucks, I don’t care how much of a status symbol it is: getting your forehead cut seems awful, I wonder if the Heathen Lands are just as cultish. Probably not. 7/10.

Highlights: Immanuelle, the plagues, WITCHES.

Recommended for: Dark fantasy fans, those who like their horror pretty light, those who are down to destroy the patriarchy.
