Every week a whole bunch of us go trekking through the tropes of fantasy with Nathan over at the Fantasy Review Barn as part of Tough Travelling.  This week the topic for discussion is HIGH PRIESTS

HIGH PRIEST is nearly always evil, either on his own account or on behalf of the dark lord.

Well – I’ve had a melt down this week!  I’ve left it too late and then couldn’t think of any high priests – I thought of a couple of high priestesses and a movie high priest so I’ve gone with these.  Basically, I did worse than ever!  I’ll go and sit in the naughty corner for a week and hopefully come up with something better for next week’s topic!

Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist – Silverthorn – has a high priestess character who brings two characters back from the dead in order to interrogate them.

Priests and Priestesses of Naamah from Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey – not really baddies though!

Catarina from Teresa Frohock’s Miserere – High Priestess to the Fallen Angel – defo a baddie.

Imhotep – film character – definitely a high priest and not a very nice man!
