Clerics have taken many vows to their deity and are required to uphold the deity's unique practices and codes (see the section on religion). There are three Clerical orders.

1.Members of the Order of the Heart (Heart Clerics) are primarily healers of their temples, and are expected by their god to concentrate upon gaining experience in channeling and other healing techniques. They are also very skilled in the art of healing and support rune-magick.

2. Members of the Order of the Sword (Sword Clerics) are the Paladins or Holy Knights of their temples. Although they are trained in healing magick, their primary purpose is to use their battle magick and fighting prowess in the service of their Temple.

3. Members of the Order of the Hand (Hand Clerics) are Temple Monks, and eschew all weapons, having been trained in lethal techniques of unarmed (martial) combat. They begin with no training in magick, although many later choose to study the ways of limited rune-magick.

Clerics of all three Orders are continuously expected to follow the teachings and philosophy of their deity. The responsibilities of a Cleric of any deity are:

1) Dedication and continued contribution to a deity.
2) Upholding of the deity's standards by preaching and exhibit the advantages, expectations, and ideals of their deity and religious code.
3) The conversion of characters (requiring such) to the deity's ways.

Many of the benefits experienced by a Cleric may be found in the section on religion. As a Cleric increases in experience, he may gain the ability to turn or control the undead through the power of his deity.
