Guardian angel is a job title. [ helpfully specifying ] Other than that... Both, I think. Depends on the world. In our case, none of us were born angels.
A way that our dead may ascend to become guardian deities. It's not just for priestesses. We try to do it for everyone, so that they may watch over their loved ones.
Huh. People always used to say our loved ones were watching over us after death, but there wasn't a ritual involved. I don't know if I'd have believed it more if there had been one.
When our loved ones die, we bring their bodies to the Orbwise Path to offer to the serpents that dwell there. They are holy beasts, and those whose flesh is consumed by them will have their spirit ascend.

We put a limiter on all powers for now. They're not gone forever, just until you adapt.
