The Priest is a wandering servant of the church who can grant a blessing for good fortune and pray to any God.
¶ Servant of the Lord
After hardship or misfortune, everyone wants to feel protected, whether they are a fearsome orc or a fragile elf. In such cases, the Priest comes to their aid, easing the burden on their soul with commandments and prayers and offering comfort in difficult circumstances.
As a servant of the church, the Priest can perform such rites as:
-
Baptism. If a soul doubts its Lord, the Priest can bring it into another church and to another God.
-
Penance. On the roads of the region, a traveler may commit many different sins, from theft and lying to murder. If a soul wishes to repent of its sins, the Priest can administer the sacrament of Penance.
-
Matrimony. Many different creatures roam the region. Two souls may fall in love and wish to solemnize their marriage. In that case, the Priest can administer the sacrament of Matrimony and seal the familial union of two dynasties before God.
-
Holy Orders. If a soul wishes to devote itself entirely to serving its Lord, the Priest can administer the sacrament of Holy Orders and ordain the traveler as an assistant.
Below is a table of all the gods worshiped along the roads of the region.
¶ Cleric
If the Priest decides to embark on a long journey to carry the word of the Lord to every corner of the region, he can swear an oath to his God and take to the roads. On this long and arduous journey, the Priest can pray over the bodies of fallen travelers, help cleanse the world of evil creatures, or bestow a blessing of good fortune upon anyone who asks.
¶ Conclusion
The Priest's path depends on his dedication to his calling. All his deeds and words are visible to God. He must perform his sacraments and rites precisely. At the end of his service, grace and the promised land may await him.
