The three Sisters of Mercy are daughters of Chalana Arroy who live in an invisible nunnery whose exact location is unknown. They are a remnant of the EWF.

In the DP game, they can be invoked by a unit that's just been eliminated and if a majority of the eliminatees "manage to gasp or gurgle for the Sisters then they will appear", saving the unit with a burst of healing and removing it from the battlefield. They can't help Superheroes or Dragons.

Most units that attack them are routed (except if the sisters use a mysterious magical rule #5) unless they are Superheroes, Jaldon Toothmaker, the Blue Moon School, and creatures of chaos (the stated reason for the non-superhero units is that they were present during the fall of the EWF on the opposing side).
