Specialty Priests of Cambrus call themselves Earth Masters, they wear heavy grayed armor, often enameled to look like stone. The holy symbol of Cambrus is a very special item that is given only to those who've accepted his ways.  It appears to be merely a stone with a natural hole inside of it, but anyone holding the stone will get the affects of a ring of warmth. these "heart stones" are believed to come from the center of the earth and contain their god's love for his clerics. A heartstone ceases to work if its cleric dies. It is a solemn religion that is good for players who like to bash a lot. Earth Masters have the same proficiency tables and Thac0 as fighters, but are bound to the will of their church. Earth Masters are celibate, mostly male and rarely any fun to be with. The priesthood also has druids and regular clerics.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Cambrus’s Priests tend to not associate with non-members. Both regular clerics and Earth Masters tend to not associate and to distrust other priesthoods.
