Cleric Title with Magical Companion 09/20/2010 12:36 PM CDT
I don't know if this is already on the list as a potential title, but I found it interesting... TALTOS. Below is the traditional lore of the human/creature. If inappropriate as a title, it could make for an interesting Cleric event critter (either something like what might hatch from the chrysalis hanging from the ceiling above the altar in Ker Leor or just a Taltos Horse especially for clerics :)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A creature from Hungarian tradition, sometimes a human being similar to Shaman, but often his/her horse, called the Taltos Horse, who has sometimes magical or superficial power.

During their childhood, they had to be brought up in secret to learn everything to be some kind of shaman.

The taltos was able to go into a deep meditation called "revules", and in such a state could cure sickness of any kind. The taltos also had a mission to communicate with the entire nation in a time of danger, to warn against invading armies or an impending cultural collapse.

The main difference between shaman and taltos:

The shamans learn to be shamans, while táltos get their power during prenatal period, they "know" everything once born.
The shamans use external materials to go into mediation, táltos can do "revules" without anything. In fact táltos look like ordinary people.
The shamans usually do some kind of acting (dancing, mumbling, etc) when they are in "operation", while táltos are always without any movement or sound.
The shaman tradition is without horse, while taltos tradition is tied to "taltos horse".
The táltos has a personalised mission in life from God.
