Atira, Goddess of Healing
The Goddess of Healing Atira
Atira, goddess of healing. Priests gain healing hands, but have to study for years (fantasy equivilent of medical school) to have sufficient knowledge. Her influence spreads over most of the continent and she is very powerful with many followers. She has a temple in every city and her priests charge to their healing to maintain the infrastructure of their system. Smaller towns pay good money to attract a healer to live there, and will pay for their living expenses.

I love this part: "She doesn't see this as contradictory" I like how you have developed your character's morality and defined it in the way that you did. I'm intrigued by the opportunity you are creating wherein you can examine the conflict created by adjacent characters with rational but opposing moralities.
