Specialty Priests of Divinus call themselves Divininans, they wear light hunting armor, often polished to a high sheen for festivals but camouflaged otherwise. The holy symbol of Divinus is a silver-white or blue-white crescent moon, and the longbow. The Elves also call her "The Grey lady." She is the Goddess of The Grey Elves and Patron of Women.

Relationship with Other Priesthoods: Divinus’ clerics get along with most other good clerics.

Dracos        

God of All Dragons                                                                                                                                                 True Neutral

Non-Dragon Followers of Dracos are normal clerics, but rare. The First thing a follower needs to acknowledge is the superiority of the Dragon race.                Dracos has no holy symbol, although non-dragon followers usually carry a dragon scale or claw.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Clerics of Dracos are rare, and fall beneath the notice of most other temples.

Relationship with Other Priesthoods: Denit will answer prayers to Bane, Moander and any evil god he decides he might also be this moment. Since the clerics of Denit believe there is nothing more sacred that creating a rotting undead from sacrificed individuals, most sane and good people oppose The Skull.

Specialty Priests of Denarus call themselves The Brotherhood of Purse and Tongue, they wear bright, expensive clothing and are held in very, very, high regard by all people who are even slightly decent. The holy symbol of Denarus is a star.  It is a religion of truth and beauty, a really nice bunch of people.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: The Brotherhood of the purse and tongue and Leolians loathe each other, but both will tend to resort to manipulation of a legal system to fight each other over physical combat. Leolians are one of the only groups of clerics that don’t kiss up to Denarus, as they see money as an unimportant distraction from reality.
