Baird, Steward of Argive =The strategist, who forces evil doers into using up their resources at before they attack!

Bruna, the Fading Light and her sister Gisela, the Broken Blade= More angels from a far away land, who came to Heliod for a cure to their madness. Heliod with all his might could only temporarily heal them, and sometimes their madness takes over leading to a monstrosity that could make even Erebos quick in fear!

Thalia, Heretic Cathar = The bravest of Heliod's warriors, she will jump at any chance to protect the innocent.Past battles have shown her slowing down anybody who dares try to hurt Heliod's followers

Ghostly Prison =An old prison crafted by purphoros won by Heliod through a bet. It's divine and intense architecture has the wicked running in fear of imprisonment

Their is several minor blessings, but lets move onto Heliod's last resorts

The last resorts
