Great Shaman

Although they do not rule any clan directly, the Great Shamans are the highest authority amongst the Hannuk: theirs is the last word in settling disputes between different clans and in taking decisions that will affect the Hannuk nation as a whole; they preserve the people's history and lore, and are responsible for organizing the major religious ceremonies; they are the only ones who can organize the Golden Horde of the Hannuks; also, they can determine the destruction of an entire clan if it is deemed, and proved, to be nocive to the integrity of the Hannuk nation. As if it wasn't enough, they have an extensive knowledge of the herbs that may be found over the steppes (some of which are poisonous and used in their staffs) and also are the only ones allowed to learn and practice the primitive, but lethal, Hannuk magic. With all this power, it comes as no surprise that they are both feared and respected by every member of the steppe society.

Special Notes: During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health. This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. The ability of this unit to inspire its allies enables adjacent units of the same side to deal more damage in combat, though this does not apply to other Messengers or units of higher level. This unit is capable of basic healing. The victims of this unit’s poison will continually take damage until they can be cured in town or by a unit which cures.
