The Samite are a very large sect of devout healers, clerics and alchemists.
Description
They are not a religious order, rather concentrating on healing any sentient being in need regardless of race or creed. The Samite exist on many planes, most notably Dominaria and Ulgrotha.
On Dominaria, they have been sighted on the continents of Jamuraa, Terisiare, and Otaria. Perhaps the most famous of all Samite clerics was Orim, who surely brought the Samite order to the plane of Mercadia following the Phyrexian Invasion. The Samite order continued to exist after the Time Spiral crisis, using healing minerals extracted from the receding salt dunes of Dominaria's once-ruined plains.
On Ulgrotha, the Samite were present already before the war between the Ancients and the Tolgath, and the dread ringing of the Apocalypse Chime. The Samite presence on the plane survived the apocalypse of the chime's ringing, and continue to present day. The Samite Alchemists continued the traditional healing practices, eventually moving from the healers' spiritual approach to a more scientific one.[1] The Samite Alchemist Reyhan was among their number during the time period of Homelands.
