Dinara, Lady of Mystery, Goddess of Prophecy


	Dinara, unlike most Gods, has chosen to meddle in humanoid affairs.
 Her priests believe her ultimate goal, and theirs, is to guide
humankind to a higher level of existence.  Her chief means of doing
this is through prophecy.  Priests are expected to act intelligently on
any prophecies they receive, in order to further these goals.  Often
times, the priests find their own Goddess difficult to understand.  She
truly is a Lady of Mystery.

	Both males and females are permitted to join the order, but they
must have demonstrated some oracular talents.  In fact, any such
demonstrating prophetical talents are often dragged into the order: if
they are blessed by Dinara, they should repay her.  Few priests marry
and even then they are expected to place their faith before family.

alignment.  The flock is expected to be of good alignment.
