Good question. A Handmaiden is a Donna – test tube life form, downloaded morals and goals from the host deity – basically a representative creature that explicitly and exactly follows the precepts of the deity.
An Emissary is a deity who chose to ascend and take an aspect that was already out there, and become a sub deity of that same aspect. This placing them self under the main deity’s authority, but actually still being an independent entity.
A priest is just someone that is a follower / Channeller of the deity’s aspect. If the aspect is there – they can contact it, and if not then no dice.
So, what is the difference between a handmaiden, an emissary, and a priest?
