+<p>The Joybringers act as the official Marcandrian clergy for Callera. Often referred to as The Lady of Love, The Princess of Passion, or simply Lady Firehair, she is the Marcandrian goddess of art, beauty, love, joy, passion, and revelry, with the message that one should seek a fulfilling life, and to find a joyous life through ones passions and through artistry. The Joybringers seek to spread and nurture the worship of Callera and her values.</p>
 <p>The Joybringers are a loose organization, one in which each temple act independently, keeping only the minimum organizational hierarchy necessary to function. The Joybringers tend to be heavily involved in Marcandrian festivities and revelry, and are often the ones who both plan, organize, and run public events in Marcandria; be that on their own accord or on behalf of either nobles or other influential entities. The Joybringers are passionate and free spirited individuals, all deeply engulfed in artistry, who seek to both teach and show the people how to achieve a fulfilling life, filled with ones joys and passions. While the Meranzeum aids people's financial wellbeing, and the Greenwardens see to their physical health, the Joybringers seek to heal people's souls and to elevate what it should mean and feel to be Marcandrian.</p>
 <p>The Joybringers are most present in the larger population centers in Marcandria, tending to stay in areas with a lot of culture and opportunities to engage with the people. Their massive temples often stand among the most exquisite and luxurious buildings in the cities they're in. The Joybringers do have some presence in the more rural regions of Marcandria as well, though this tends to only consist of one or a few individuals whose decided to put the inhabitants there “under their wings”.</p>
 <p>The Joybringers tend to avoid bickering or politics between nobles or other factions. So long as neither side seeks to hamper the Joybringers endeavors, they see little reason to get involved. Rather, they see staying out of such conflict as a way to avoid alienating either side, and as a way to potentially act as a bridge between the opposing sides. They tend to have little they can offer by themselves if drawn into conflict. However, due to their charismatic nature and deep involvement in both the populace and leadership, they can have a lot of influence when it comes to swaying public opinion.</p>

 <h2>Members</h2>
-<p>The Joybringers tend to be very eccentric and outgoing people, who not only live by Lady Firehair's teachings, but who has an irresistible urge to exude and share it with all others. Its members tend to come from the middle-to-upper classes within Marcandria. Lower class citizens are not turned away, though because the Joybringers tend situate their temples in the finer areas of settlements, most who are in close vicinity to them tend to be from the middle or upper classes. Those of lower class thus tend to have less opportunity to involve themselves with them. Lower class citizens also tend to have fewer possibilities when it comes to pursuing and developing their artistic skills, which means there's a gap in the reality of them and the Joybringers who tend to be engulfed in it.</p>
+<p>The Joybringers are typically eccentric and outgoing individuals, known for their highly expressive and dramatic mannerisms. Their whimsical nature and occasional over-the-top behavior can sometimes come across as pompous. This exuberance is a reflection of their commitment to living and sharing Lady Firehair's teachings with every fiber of their being. While all Joybringers engage in religious rites, only a subset possesses actual divine gifts.</p>
-<p>The Joybringers are all artists, be that as musicians, painters, singers, sculptures, stylists, poets, dancers, theatre performers, or otherwise. They act as organizers, mentors, and guides in all things artistry and revelry. They are often employed by nobles to teach their children etiquette, artistic literature, and to help them develop their artistic skills. Many burdened by guilt or tragedy also seek out the Joybringers in hopes of regaining their joy of life, with it not being too uncommon for those who have been helped through such hardships ending up as Joybringers themselves.</p>
+<p>Members come from various facets of Marcandrian society, though most common are bards, artists, musicians, and performers who continue their creative pursuits within the organization. Most Joybringers hail from the middle to upper classes, as their activities often revolve around leisure and luxury—elements less accessible to the lower classes due to financial and time constraints. Located predominantly in affluent areas, Joybringer temples are less accessible to lower-class citizens, though these individuals are nonetheless welcome to join. The organization values alignment with Lady Firehair's tenets and the strength of character over socioeconomic status.</p>
-<p>Some, though not all, Joybringers have divine powers gifted upon them by Lady Firehair. Those who lead temples often tend to have such gifts, though it is by means mandatory. The Joybringers tend to place much more emphasis on the strength of one's character than the power one has been given. Though, Lady Firehair's favor nonetheless tends to be strongly correlated with the strength of one's character, meaning the two are often one and the same within the Joybringers.</p>
+<p>All Joybringers are artists, engaging in disciplines such as painting, singing, sculpturing, poetry, and theater. They serve as organizers, mentors, and guides in all things related to artistry and revelry. Nobility frequently employs Joybringers to educate their children in etiquette and the arts, helping them refine their skills. Many individuals burdened by guilt or tragedy also seek solace with the Joybringers, hoping to rediscover their zest for life. It is not uncommon for those who have found renewal through the Joybringers' support to join their ranks permanently. Others join for more hedonistic reasons, seeking to live the most euphoric and joyous life possible.</p>
+<p>Membership in the Joybringers can be quite fluid, with members often stepping down from their duties to pursue personal passion projects. Some may embark on journeys in pursuit of passion and never return to the temple. As members age, some transition into more administrative roles, while others may gradually withdraw from active participation due to physical limitations, eventually retaining membership in name only.</p>
