In the hierarchy of divine favor, an apostle stood as the pinnacle, the highest rank bestowed by a god. These rare beings were more than mere followers because they embodied the will of their god. Some called them contractors, but the distinction was semantic—apostles embodied the divine in ways others could only dream of.
Apostles came with special privileges that no others did. Among them was wielding the authority of their god without any drawbacks, with the only limit being their level of strength. For instance, the authority of wind wielded by the wind god could be used by its apostle.

An apostle could bless other believers with their god's authority, and this exactly tallied with what Baines had asked earlier. The spy had said they didn't have an apostle then, meaning they were basically crippled during the war to claim the kingdom.
