The Heirophant

It is the sign of those who say that their god speaks to them, and they are harder to laugh at than most such people, because of the marks. For the Heirophant's children bleed from the palms on holy days, or from the brow, with no wound to show for it. The temples, which are slow to believe in anyone's holiness but their own, send a priest to look; and the priest comes back quiet.

Their god does seem to keep an eye on them. They may offend heaven as other folk do, but its favor never wholly leaves them, and creeps back unasked. Their spells go astray half as often as their neighbors'. And when one of them dies and is called back, the body is found waiting at his feet, as though it had been carried there.
