Clerics are wielders of divine magics through humble piety and diligent theological study.

Clerics in Arthos

Practice

Acolytes

Most clerics can be found working within the same place of worship where they were trained. There, they are responsible for the day-to-day maintenance of the premises as well as running religious services. Acolytes of the same faith will build tight bonds with each other and members of their community alike.

Faith Healers

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.

Purifiers

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 often used as pawns in this regard.
