Aalat, Lord of Air
(Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc)
Requirements: Str 9, Dex 9, Wis 9

	Perhaps one of the most influential of the four elemental powers, 
followers of Aalat are revered and feared for their intense powers.  Although 
they receive few prayers individually, many can invoke some very powerful 
effects with a minimal amount of power.  Followers of Aalat are directly 
affected by the weather of a given day.  On a windy day, he is elated and 
happy; but on a still, calm day, he is cautious and paranoid.
	Priests of Aalat are often seen in all walks of life, though many 
end up later in life in a special environment as a hermit in a foreign land.  
They are identified by their sky blue robes and their lofty attitudes.  They 
are quite often perceived as arrogant and aberrant and are relatively 
difficult to get along with.  The holy symbol is a blessed leaf, which is 
kept alive in falling from a tree by the winds of Aalat.
	Priests of Aalat are not allowed to wear armorand cannot use shields, 
for they restrict movement, and the freedom of movement is godly.  As well, 
followers of Aalat quite often do not employ weapons.  In fact, many are 
masters of punching.  Those that are not, use slashing blades.  Only a few 
slashing weapons are permitted, dagger, sabre, long sword, knife, rapier, 
and broad sword.
	Priests of Aalat cannot turn undead, for they do not influence the 
element of air.  As an initiate, a priest of Aalat can produce the effects 
of a spectral force spell once per day.  Also, when in open air (as in flying 
or simply not in contact with any of the other elements), the priest of Aalat 
is completely at home, suffering no penalties that might normally be 
afforded.  At third level, the priest can produce wind as the gust of wind 
spell twice per day.  At the seventh level, he can produce gale force winds 
once per day.  At tenth level, a priest of Aalat, in order to prove the power 
of air, can temporarily stop someone's breathing.  Never long enough to 
actually kill the person, the priest can choose to keep air from the person 
long enough to knock the person out from lack of air.  This person in general 
has to be doing something which opposes air.  At thirteenth level, the priest 
can summon an air elemental (as the spell) once per day to perform a service 
for the priest.  Note that this ability can only be used in order to protect 
air, and if the priest attempts to summon it for his own use, the elemental 
will have maximum hit points and turn on the priest himself.  The summoning 
takes a full turn, but the elemental will do as the priest commands so long 
as the purpose is true.  At 17th level, the priest can travel and survive in 
the elemental plane of air.
	Priests of Aalat have only a limited selection of prayers to choose 
from, and progress as if they were a level lower than they actually are 
(though they start as 1st level spell-casters).  They have access to the 
following spheres: all, charm (minor), combat (minor), creation, elemental, 
healing (minor), protection (minor), summoning, sun, and weather.

Alamant, Lord of Earth
(Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Human)
Requirements: Str 9, Con 9, Wis 9

	Followers of Alamant are permitted to wear any armor, although most 
commonly, they wear some form of leather or hide because it has closer ties 
to the earth.  When seen in public, they are adorned in brown and green robes 
and are easily identified by the symbol of a rock worn around their necks.  
Most of the time this rock is a piece of cut obsidian or some other black 
rock, though some of the lesser followers are known to wear pieces of 
granite or other similar rock.  Followers of Alamant are permitted to use 
only certain weapons, including all bludgeons and both one-handed and two-
handed picks.
	Despite their relatively limited access to weapons, followers of 
Alamant are able to employ a number of special powers.  At sixth level, a 
priest of Alamant can transmute rock or earth into water, mud, dust, or 
steel or vise versa once per week.  It affects a volume of 100 cubic feet 
per level, and is used mainly in proving a point to destroyers of the earth.  
At thirteenth level, the priest can summon an earth elemental (as the spell) 
once per day to perform a service for the priest.  Note that this ability 
can only be used in order to protect the land, and if the priest attempts to 
summon it for his own use, the elemental will have maximum hit points and 
turn on the priest himself.  The summoning takes a full turn, but the 
elemental will do as the priest commands so long as the purpose is true.  At 
17th level, the priest can travel and survive in the elemental plane of 
Earth.
	Followers of Alamant can turn undead as if they were one level lower, 
since undead are sometimes employed to reap destruction on the forces of the 
earth.  They also are granted access to the following spheres: all, animal, 
charm (minor), combat, creation, elemental, healing, plant, protection 
(minor), and summoning.

Dalitas, Goddess of Life and Healing
(Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc)
Requirements: Str 9, Con 12, Wis 12

	One of the most common religions, priests of Dalitas are highly 
revered because of their influence.  Never seen to shed blood, they have 
been known to quell entire revolts by a simple prayer.  They hold all life 
sacred and mourn for all who lose it.
	Due to their pacifistic nature, priests of Dalitas start off with 
only one weapon proficiency, which can be only some sort of bludgeon, usually 
with the quarterstaff.  They are allowed to wear any armor up to chain mail, 
but nothing more and hardly ever more than leather.  They have specific 
robing that ranges from a soft blue to a soft red.  Only the highest priests 
are adorned with the white robes.  Their holy symbol is that of a seed or 
egg, symbolizing life.
	Priests of Dalitas will hardly ever resort to physical violence, and 
if possible will abstain from such actions that lead them do battle.  They 
will always try to talk their ways through a sketchy situation and are very 
hard to anger.  As such they are influential figures in both civil and 
governmental issues.
	In regard for their loving view of life, they do everything they can 
to uphold life in all its forms.  As such they are able to turn undead as if 
they were a level higher.  Furthermore, priests of Dalitas are able to hold 
onto life a little better, so they make saving throws with a +1.
	Once per day, they can lay hands on a person.  This can serve a 
variety of purposes.  First, it is able to heal one person up to 3hps per 
level.  Secondly, it can neutralize any natural poison.  Thirdly, against 
magical poisons, it allows the victim another saving throw with a +1.  
Lastly, against magical diseases (such as mummy rot), it allows the victim 
another saving throw (or a first one if one wasn't permitted originally).
	Priests of Dalitas have access to a very small number of spheres: 
all, creation, divination, healing, necromantic, and protection.  Lastly, 
they have an accelerated spell progression.  They can cast an extra spell 
per spell level (like specialists).

Drakken, Seeker of Souls
(Human)
Requirements: Con 15, Wis 13

	Followers of Drakken are an assorted lot.  In a general sense, 
Drakken is the god of Death to the humans.  However, the following is very 
diverse in its general purpose.  Therefore, there are many priests who 
believe much differently than some other priests in the same sect.  
Although most are seen with disgust, several have managed to attain some 
amount of fame.  The general disgust felt by most is wrought from ages of 
Drakken priests mindlessly slaughtering hundreds of people in the glory of 
his grace.  Such things happen with rapid infrequency these days, though the 
occasional fanatic has been known to kill himself in order to get closer to 
his true purpose.
	The robing of the Drakken priests is very specific.  They are to 
wear black robes at all times, although they may wear anything else 
underneath.  They are permitted to use all armor, some even painting entire 
suits of plate mail and chain mail black, just to be closer.  The robes are 
exquisitely made pieces, often embroidered with nearly invisible thread, 
visible only to close meticulous inspection.
	Priests of Drakken are allowed a relatively set selection of weapons 
to use.  They can only use bludgeons as primary weapons, although many carry 
around (and know how to proficiently use) knives for the many difficult 
ceremonies they undergo at their masses.
	Priests of Drakken look at death in a very specific way.  They are 
quite often fanatical about the purity of the body at death and the calmness 
after death.  They see the undead as horrifying objects of destruction, 
bringing about death in an unpure way.  To this end priests of Drakken will 
specialize in a single undead creature (usually of worthy note like vampires 
and liches rather than skeletons or zombies), and are able to do some pretty 
amazing things against them.  First, when facing these creatures, they are 
able to turn them (if they choose to do so) as if they were three levels 
higher (and can turn all other undead as per normal).  Secondly, when 
fighting these creatures in melee combat, they attack with a +2 to hit and 
do +2 damage on a successful hit and receive a -2 to AC when defending 
against them.  In any case where a save must be made through the undead's 
actions, the priest receives a +2 to saving throws.  Against all other 
undead, the priest turns as if he were a level higher.
	Lastly, priests of Drakken have relatively small access to the 
priest spheres.  They are allowed to use spells from the following spheres: 
all, combat, creation, divination, elemental (minor), Healing (minor), 
Necromantic (minor), Protection, and Summoning.

Iskard, the Keeper of the Balance
(Orc, Half-Orc)
Requirements: Str 10, Int 10, Wis 12

	Cultists of Iskard, the Orcish God of Balance, are completely devoted 
to keeping the balance of law versus chaos.  In order to maintain this 
balance, they make great use of the "cleansing flame," and great displays of 
force.  Although from the outsider's point of view, they appear quite chaotic 
in nature, they have a very methodical way of looking at things.  If they are 
forced to do something to upset the Balance, they tend to set themsleves on 
fire.  After being cleansed, they go at great length to find what they 
perceive as an appropriate retroactive action to their misdeed.  They pursue 
this end obsessively, and many find it irrational at the very least.
	The Cult of Iskard is a very secretive organization, and only a 
select few can identify them with any sort of accuracy.  Even the location 
of places of worship are kept hidden from the public.  They are rumored to 
kidnap people in order to gain new converts.  Convert or be destroyed for 
upsetting the balance.  Despite this, they seem to only recruit orcs and on 
the rare occasion, half-orcs.  Although the Cult of Iskard has no real power 
in any of the "civilized areas," they have enough power and secrecy to take 
matters into their own hands.  If the cultists are caught and persecuted for 
some illegal action, they stick to their beliefs and only reveal that they 
did it under godly influence.  As a whole, the cult is not highly regarded 
anywhere, but it is secretive enough to be able to function without too much 
hindrance.
	Cultists of Iskard tend to embellish flames, often wielding huge 
bladed weapons in order to show their superiority.  The blades are often 
painted red and orange to depict flames.  Followers tend to dress in 
flamboyant reds and oranges, occasionally donning black and yellow or blue, 
but with a long explanation behind it, which they explain if confronted with 
the clashing assortment.  
	Once per day, cultists are able to invoke the essence of Iskard into 
their weapons to set the weapon on fire.  The weapon is treated as a +1 
magical flame weapon for 1d10 rounds plus one round per level of the 
cultist.  If the victims of the cultist are particularly vulnerable to flame 
or heat, the weapon flares up and does an extra 2 damage per hit from flame 
damage.  Against undead, which are a direct violation of the balance, the 
weapon is considered +3 weapons and does an additional 2 damage per hit (for 
a total of +5 damage).  This ability is only used in special cases where a 
great wrong has been done against the balance.  If the usage of this ability 
is unfounded, the weapon simply will not ignite.
	Followers of Iskard are granted usage of clerical spells from the 
following spheres: all, combat, chaos, divination, elemental, guardian, law, 
protection, healing (minor), and necromancy (minor).  Since undead are in 
direct violation of the Balance, cultists are granted the ability to turn 
undead though only as if they were two levels lower.

Kasman, God of Good
(Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-Orc, Half-Elf)
Requirements: Con 10, Wis 13

	This is one of the largest organized religions in all of the known 
world.  It was started long ago, though no one can remember exactly when.  
Believers of Kasman follow a relatively broad sense of the idea of good.  
Some take it that they must obliterate all evil as their life's purpose; 
others simply seek to gain acknowledgement among others of the power of good.  
Very few of the priests feel any real connection with their belief, but they 
still follow it because they feel it is for the greater good that they do.  
Those who gain the benefits of being recognized by Kasman or any of his 
avatars, tell their tales in their sermons to the public.
	Followers of Kasman can be easily recognized by their clothing.  
Quite often the lower orders are adorned in light colored clothing with not 
much restriction to them.  When encountered outside of the church, possibly 
out to spread the word or even to eradicate evil, they are quite often 
employing of chain mail and using large maces or morning stars.  These are 
the factors that signify to others that he is a priest of Kasman.  Although 
they are free to choose any bludgeons to be proficient in, most often they 
employ the use of flails, maces, and morning stars.  They quite often only 
use metal armor, but they are seen rarely in leather or studded leather.
	Followers of Kasman have a wide selection of spheres to choose from.  
They have major access to the following spheres: All, Animal, Charm, 
Creation, Divination, Healing, Necromantic, Protection, Summoning, Sun; and 
minor access to Combat, Guardian, and Plant.  Priests of Kasman can turn 
undead as per normal clerics.  Priests of Kasman can imbue a special form of 
Protection from Evil on others.  Once per day, the priest can protect one 
individual (not himself) with a limited kind of protection from evil which 
allows the player a +1 save vs saving throws caused on him by evil foes, a 
-2 AC when attacked by evil foes.  The priest himself receives a +1 to save 
against evil forces and a -1 to AC when attacked by evil.

Ragalak, Lord of Water
(Human, Dwarf, Elf, Half-Elf, Half-Orc)
Requirements: Dex 9, Int 9, Wis 9

	The powerful god Ragalak is most personified in the nature of water.  
His followers are well identified with these qualities as well.  Calm, 
serene, flowing, tumultuous, and unpredictable.  They can be found in 
virtually all walks of life, though the dwarven representation is relatively 
small.  Ragalak meddles in the affairs of all sea-faring beings, and it is 
rare to find a boat without a devout follower on board.
	Priests of Ragalak are identified by their sea-blue-green robings, 
though none really wear robes.  Most of the time, they are found in breeches, 
for these are more conducive to swimming.  They are sometimes affected by the 
weather surrounding them.  On extremely sunny days, they are rather sullen, 
and sweat profusely.  But on rainy days, they are happiest and are hard to 
discourage.  The holy symbol is a small piece of coral or a shell of an 
oyster, symbolizing the life within the water depths.
	Priests of Ragalak are permitted to wear armor up to their standing 
in the belief and training.  At first level, they can wear any armor up to 
scale mail.  At fifth, they can use chain mail.  At tenth level, they can 
wear plate mail, but that is the best they can wear.  Often, the armor will 
be painted blue-green, or ornamented with metal sea-weed.  They are permitted 
to use any piercing weapon, as well as the net.  Most often they employ a 
trident but the spear and the rapier are common as well.
	Priests of Ragalak can only turn some undead.  Those water-based 
undead can be turned but only as a level lower.  As initiates, priests of 
Ragalak can swim in water without hindrance in armor from scale mail or 
lighter.  At fifth level, priests of Ragalak are able to swim in water 
without hindrance with armor up to chain mail.  Also, they can breath 
underwater for one hour each day.  At tenth level, they can imbue others 
with water breathing for half an hour, three times per day.  At thirteenth 
level, they can  summon a water elemental to serve the purpose of Ragalak.  
They can do this only once per week and it takes a full turn to complete.  
This summoning must be in direct purpose to Ragalak, otherwise, the summoned 
water elemental will be of maximum hit points and attacks the priest.  Also 
at this level, the priest is effectively under a permanent free action spell, 
though only when under water.  They can breathe underwater freely and imbue 
water breathing to others for an hour at will.  At seventeenth level, the 
priest can travel and survive in the elemental plane of water without harm.
	Priests of Ragalak have only a limited selection of prayers to choose 
from, and progress as if they were a level lower than they actually are 
(though they start as 1st level spell-casters).  They have access to the 
following spheres: all, charm (minor), combat (minor), creation, elemental, 
healing (minor), protection (minor), summoning, and weather.

Tramere, God of Wealth and Prosperity
(Dwarf, Human)
Requirements: Int 9, Wis 9

	Followers of Tramere are a well respected lot, though most consider 
them little more than fortune tellers, and even more contribute their success 
to mere luck.  They serve the communities of the known world in many ways; 
serving as accountants, and money handlers.  They quite often are seen 
blessing people for the future.  As a whole, they almost always resort to 
conversation, and are commonly seen in a tavern telling fortunes as 
entertainment.
	Despite their care-free attitude, followers take their beliefs very 
seriously and will quite often be internally be angered by anyone questioning 
their validity.  They tend to make excellent storytellers and will hardly 
ever resist the temptation to tell one.  In their first year of apprentiship 
with the temple, they are exposed to immense tombs and books concerning local 
and world history, and are told to memorize all of it as an exercise.  Toward 
this end, in order to keep history the way it is, they tell stories about the 
past with very little alteration from the truth.  Their fortellings of the 
future often are told in riddle-like and cryptical formats.  To say the 
least, their fortellings are open to interpretation, but in the end, they 
almost always come true in some form or another.
	Priests of Tramere are not told to adorn one specific type of robing, 
as this is not important to them, so they are perceived in all colorings and 
fasions.  They are allowed to wear armor only up to studded leather, though 
most of the time, even when travelling, they are seen unarmored.  As to 
weapons they are allowed to use, only bludgeons are permitted, though their 
weapon of choice is hardly anything more complicated than a quarterstaff.
	Priests of Tramere are able to use a small number of powers granted 
to them by Tramere himself.  Three times per day, they are able to use a 
modified form of the bless spell.  Instead of the priest centering a point 
with a 50-foot cube area of effect, this power affects individuals.  The 
priest can bless up to two people per level of experience, and the blessing 
lasts for six rounds.  For every six levels of experience, the effects of the 
blessing increase by +1 to hit and saving throws.  Thus a 12th level priest 
of Tramere can bless up to 24 people with a +3 to attack rolls and +3 to any 
saving throws.  This ability has no effect on items (as the spell does), and 
the priest can't use this ability in the reverse form (such as the spell).
	By concentrating on specific items, the priest can determine certain 
pieces of knowledge from them.  Although it is little more than useless 
pieces of knowledge concerning the item (such as who created it), when used 
on a very specific item, such as food and drink, the priest can determine 
whether or not they are harmful to the user.  So although a priest of Tramere 
can use this power on a sword on the ground and determine it is harmful to 
the user, this doesn't mean the item does harm to the user, but simply means 
that if the user were to trip, they might land on the sword and get impaled 
by it.  In relation to food and drink, this power can determine if the food 
or drink is poisonous, or otherwise harmful.  The priest may use this power 
any number of times per day by simply concentrating on the item for one round 
(no touching of the item is necessary).
	A third power, the priest of Tramere can purify food and water once 
per day equal to one cubic foot of food and/or drink per level of experience.  
This power is much like the priest spell, and does not prevent subsequent 
decay by time.
	Lastly, the priests of Tramere have a number of spells they can be 
granted each day.  They have access to the following priest spheres: all, 
charm, creation, divination, guardian, healing, protection, sun, and weather.  
Also, priests of Tramere cannot turn undead.

Yttris, God of War
(Dwarf, Human)
Requirements: Str 12, Con 12, Wis 9

	Although there are many different practices in worshipping the gods 
of war, few can contest the power of Yttris' following.  A great many of his 
followers are made up of dwarves, but he has been known to grant prayers to 
some devout humans as well.  Followers of Yttris are known for their 
exactness of thought, knowing what to do in almost every situation.  If 
nothing else they can incite others to their cause with only a minor amount 
of persuasion.
	The robing of following is usually a dark green or blue, which to 
them symbolizes rationality, although no one knows why.  They arepermitted 
to wear any armor, although most use only the best of metal armors, and very 
few will be seen wearing leather or hide.  Similarly, they are allowed to use 
any weapons, but most use large axes and swords and very rarely anything that 
is smaller than a short sword.
	Furthermore, in such cases where it may be necessary, priests of 
Yttris can incite those already devoted to his cause in combat by yelling at 
his enemies or motivating his friends.  He must partake in no other action in 
the first round of doing so, but can do anything in subsequent rounds (such 
as take part in the combat).  This inciting bestows on to those affected a 
+2 to hit and a -1 to AC.  This bonus increases every five levels of 
experience (so at 5th level, the priest would give the incited a +4 to hit 
and a -2 to AC).  Usually, followers of Yttris can incite up to one dozen 
people per four levels of experience, although this is of course limited to 
how far his voice can be carried.  The effects last for three rounds per 
level.
	Priests of Yttris are naturally built like warriors in their training 
and thus gain both the ability to use exceptional strength and high 
constitution hit point bonuses.
	Since they have no unusual need to do so, followers of Yttris are not 
permitted to turn undead.  They are granted access to the priest spheres 
which follow: all, animal, combat, elemental, guardian, healing (minor), 
plant, protection, and summoning.
