-Also known as "sanctifiers", these clerics task themselves with ridding places of unholy or unsavory presence. Typically this constitutes the destruction of undead and necromantic influences. They have also, at times, been the instigators of religious warfare when other faiths are deemed to be enemies. Not all the gods get along and their faithful are sometimes used as pawns in this regard.

		+	A cleric may come from anyone who is affiliated with and devoted to an organized [[religion]]. Very few people reach clerichood through private worship and most religious institutions frown on the practice. To become a cleric, one must expose themselves to a breadth of theological knowledge. Critical to this study is the practice of works, or acts of faith in the name of their favored deity. The nature of these works vary by religion and they are the bread and butter of clerical praxis. Through pious wisdom and faithful works, clerics learn to channel the powers of their god or gods.

-The reason clerics are generally held in high esteem is their work as faith healers. The clerics who are motivated by helping the people of Arthos will travel to places of war, famine, or plague and use their divine magic to heal those in need. Faith healers can be vital to maintaining social order in times of great suffering.
