As you already know, Clerical life is a life devoted to the gods. Our powers are granted through them, as well as our very lives. Paying homage to these gods is an essential part of our lives. We live by our god's values, we work for our gods, and in return our gods guide us and grant our favors for eternal life.

There are thirteen primary gods, each with a positive and negative aspect. In order to choose a god or goddess to worship you should spend some time learning about all of them. In nearly all town libraries you can find the book, "The Immortals". This book will describe what each represents and influence. This manuscript is extremely helpful in discovering which god or goddess best represents your own values and beliefs. After you have discovered your deity, you alone will know your faith, unless you choose to educate others about your following. Your devotion to your deity will be shown in daily prayers and in rituals for the remainder of your life. He or she will recognize your devotions and reward you kindly.

Meraud has brought me strength in my weakest moments and blesses my magics, making them strong. I realized long ago only he could guide me. Yet should you find more than one fulfills your needs, feel free to give your devotions to many. The gods are not jealous nor do they penalize those that have many callings. For in truth, all gods depend on the others for different things. Besides, it is better for one cleric to follow many a god than none at all.
