The Church:

(A note on Clergy: Very few of the actual clergy can usually cast spells. The average human simple doesn’t have the mental fortitude)

The Clergy consists of mostly non-magical healers, philosophers and advisors. There is a warrior sect as well.

Clerics Alignment: Good (any)

Turn Undead: Due to the nature of this Deity, she has considerable power over undead. If her holy symbol is prevented with conviction by a priest powerful in his faith, lesser undead may be turned to nothing more then dust.

Day-to-Day activities: These priests give guidance to the discontented and tempted. They heal the sick and do not charge a fee. Hospitals are staffed with these priests. Marriages are preformed. Hope is spread.

Important Ceremonies/Holy Days: Full moons, nights of falling stars, the planting and the harvest (the equinoxes)

Major Centers of Worship: Rizam, Damzag Ruins, Aquillas, Isle of Sorrows, Maxima

Affiliated orders: Imperial Legions of Maxima

Priestly vestments: White and Gold robes, but only for Ceremony. Warrior priests stick to armors, normally metallic.

Adventuring Garb: Anything, as Her holy symbol is visible.

Weapons: Any (usually a longspear as a primary weapon coupled with a secondary weapon)

Armor: Any, tending toward heavy metals and plate armors.

Spell access: Minor access to healing arts (such skills are developed only after years of intense devoted study, and with the blession of Aurielus. The Ability to Heal is seen as the ultimate gift from the Goddess). Minor access to combative and defensive wards (only those preists who take up the banner of the earth militant faction begin study and devotion for such abilities).

Magical Items: Priests may use any magical item that does not conflict with their faith.

Additional skills: All preists have intimate knowledge of non-magical healing. All priests can read and write in their own language, as well as the Holy tongue used for prayers, and the Imperial tongue (common), which the majority of the populace uses.

Other issues: Any race (any good creature) has the potential to become a true priest.
