Paulina The Cleric

as she knew that she was very much given to the worship of the goddess Isis

Josephus, Antiquities Book 18, Chapter 3.4

Josephus writes long paragraphs, it was difficult to figure which text to quote. The name could be changed to Paulina the Isis Worshipper or follower, etc.

Isis was an Egyptain goddess of life & healing, the daughter of Geb. Consort & sister of Osiris, another Egyptain god and the mother of Horus, the sun god.

2/4 Pale Green/Gold evil female human
Band to a male Egyptain or Magician. You may discard an evil card from your hand to heal an evil character.

Temple of Isis

He also demolished the temple of Isis, and gave order that her statue should be thrown into the river Tiber

Reference same as above

Evil Fortress

If an Egyptian or Magician is discarded by a special ability used by an opponent, you may discard a card of matching brigade from hand and the top X cards of your deck instead. Put lost souls in play instead.

X = # of your redeemed lost souls

Josephus is used to reference characters who directly influenced the events in the NT or years of silence but are not directly named in the Bible. Are these people and places referenced indirectly in the NT?

So, I'm not really sure though that these SA's correlate with the cards. How would priests cause what's discarded to be kept? they usually burned things as sacrifices for the good. Maybe something like "discard up to 5 cards from the top of your deck to discard the same number of opponent's cards in opponents' territories except Lost Souls" or something like that or possibly a little more background on their story?

The special abilities are more to have synergy with eachother. I would say if you did want more info on their religion look into the references used.

Neither is LarryBoy or Darth Vader, but we've got a pretend card for them.

Paulina - Good, but I'd add the stipulation "anytime during battle" to the second part of her ability.
Temple of Isis - I don't like that it's a clone of HT.  Make it a bit easier to instead, since it covers fewer characters.
Priests don't seem that useful, I don't see how you'd use ToI, and then band them in.
