—Chronicles description

The Priestess is a special Classical Age unit in Chronicles that can be trained at the Temple. It is a non-combatant unit who can convert others' units to the player's side, as well as heal allied units, except for ships and mechanical siege weapons. It can also collect Relics and deposit them in a Temple.

It is the equivalent of the Monk in Age of Empires II.

Trivia

• When healing, the Priestess reuses the sound effect of the Priest from Age of Empires. Before update 158041, it also used the Priest's conversion sound effects.
• The original promotional images released for Chronicles do not feature a Priestess, but a Priest instead.
• Due to an oversight, the Macedonian, Thracian, and Puru Priestesses have no voice lines.
