Saint Joseph the Tortured

LN

Saint Joseph is the Saint of endurance, survival, and overcoming adversity. This deity holds great power over those who have suffered trauma, both physical and emotional, and who have endured great pain and hardship in their lives. Joseph is known to guide and support those who have been maimed, lame, or disfigured, providing them with the strength and resilience to overcome their struggles and live fulfilling lives. Similarly, those who have been tortured or have experienced other forms of trauma may seek solace and healing from Joseph.
However, Joseph is not a Saint of pity or mercy; he demands bravery and perseverance from his followers. Those who seek the Saint's blessings must be willing to face their fears, endure pain, and overcome adversity through their own strength and determination. Joseph respects and honors those who have suffered but have chosen to persevere and rise above their circumstances, and those who have demonstrated bravery and courage in the face of adversity.
Joseph's followers are often those who have suffered greatly in their lives, including soldiers who have been wounded in battle, survivors of torture, and those who live with disabilities or chronic pain. These followers seek to embody the Saint's teachings of resilience and endurance, using their experiences to inspire others and to demonstrate the power of perseverance.
In combat, Joseph's followers are known for their grit and determination, using their injuries and scars as a source of strength rather than weakness. They may also employ defensive tactics and protective magic, using their bodies and armor to shield their allies and withstand the attacks of their enemies. Joseph's followers may also draw on their experiences of trauma to inflict mental damage on their enemies, using their pain and suffering as a weapon to overcome their foes.
