Special Attributes/Notes:
Spoiler: A sanctuary is established when a Lore Keeper visits someone who did not target another player that same night, and no one else visited this target. There must be no disturbances(visits) to the Lore Keepers ceremony for it to be successful.
A Lore Keeper may not create a sanctuary at the same place twice or at their own house.
Players will be turned away if they try to visit a player with a sanctuary at their home.
Players with a sanctuary can still be voted for.
A sanctuary will remain in place until the player votes for another player at daytime or visits another player at day or night. (Native American belief is that men should be allowed to live without disturbing others or being disturbed, infringing on others (voting/visiting) revokes your blessings.)
The Shaman and whoever has the spiritual block(shaman day time ability) will appear as not an option for the Smiting to Graveyard members.
If any Graveyard members do not vote, their spiritual vote will not count instead of it being randomized.
Graveyard members will select their spiritual votes at night time. They may not select the Shaman or a person with a spiritual block.
A Guardian Angels protection will save a target from being Smitten but will cost the Guardian Angel their life if they are not already dead due to them upsetting the Great Spirits.
No means of protection or transportation besides a Guardian Angel can protect a target from being Smitten (ie. Doctor, Transporter, Potion Master, etc.)
On the night of ascension, the Shaman will not have a box to be selected by other players. This also applies to day abilities.
A Lore Keeper's and Shaman's will's are not shown to the town regardless of when they die.
A Shaman may speak during the day, but cannot vote a player during the voting phase.
A player with a sanctuary must decide if they want to keep safe and unvisitable or if they want to vote/visit and help their faction.
Sanctuaries will be removed when the Lore Keeper becomes a Shaman.

Open to suggestions for the lore.

I don't like this role, mainly because it limits you from speaking during the day.

It's the entire point of the game. If you can't speak during the day, what's the point?

[EtherealEnder]

I think it's jusf phrased a little strangely. You can't speak during the day WHEN YOU DO THE RITUAL thing. Its like blackmailing yourself

at least this is how i read it

the no-speaking bit was there for when the lore keeper's goals and abilities operated almost completely independently from the rest of the town, which i have more recently changed now to the sanctuary ability. The no-talking was a way to keep them isolated and more observant. I'm all for removing the anti-speaking limitation if its really a deal-breaker.

Lore Keeper should be able to speak during the day; as Cabo said, it's a fundamental part of the game. Shaman is just really confusing, they seem to have confusing abilities when they only last for one night? Them being unable to be lynched, visited, or killed is also very perplexing, no role should be fully invincible. This also seems more like a Neutral Benign than a Neutral Chaos, considering they just need to wait three nights, become a Shaman, and then win N4. It's too easy to win with unless the game ends quickly.

the lore keeper has to successfully cast and create sanctuaries... it will take longer than 3 nights. It is chaos because the sanctuaries will mess up visits and the Smite.
Shaman is just the filler role that the Lore Keeper becomes when they reach their goal but before they die, essentially. everyone will know who the Shaman is. All the Lore Keeper does when they become shaman is (Day) - pick someone to save from the spirit vote, and (night) - cast their single spirit vote. that night they will die/ascend, having won the game. They aren't trying to survive or target anyone, just in Limbo the day before and night of their ascension.
