One of my new players, who isn't quite familiar with Hyperborea and related media, decided on a Kimmeri-Kelt monk, and will probably need help shaping it How would you envision this character lorewise?

I know the core book mentions Krimmr not having much of a priesthood, since it's not viewed as a very masculine or necessary job. I assume if there is some kind of clergy, it's on a very part-time basis. Kinda like Rexor's role as the snake priest in the 1981 Conan movie. I'm having trouble identifying the role of the ascetic monk in Kimmerian culture, and not having too much luck in the druidic Keltic culture either.

My best ideas are pretty much those showing the characters as sort of warrior-monks, perhaps minus the ascetic side:

-A bloodlusty zealot of Krimmr, obsessed with proving his fealty and worthiness before the god in battle, praying and making sacrifices at other times. He may even see his slain enemies as sacrifices themselves.

-A former temple or henge guard.

I can't see much of a Keltic monk community without it just looping back around to being a druid. Maybe a sort of druid's assistant by career? Something similar to the role of the deacon to the priest in the Christian Church.

Of course this can all be circumvented if said player is only ethnically Kimmeri-Kelt, and was raised or lived elsewhere, or converted to a foreign religion. It could also have something to do with not the racial religions, but the Xathoqquan community in the area, since it seems Xathoqqua's worship permeates most of the continent's cultures, whether in a major or minor way.

Of course imagination is key, and anything is possible. I'm just a stickler for lore and solidarity. It's sort of a curse sometimes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on this, guys!
