Horae’s clerics are regular clerics, he has no specialty priests. His Holy symbol is an eye.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Horae tends to be worshipped at the fringes of society, in small groups and secret temples in the deep deserts and dark jungles. As such, his clerics have no real contact outside of their own orders.

Specialty Priests of Itat call themselves The Blades, and about 50% of them are Paladins, not Thief-Clerics like those above. Itat embraces Thieves that work for justice. His followers bear highly polished swords, but it is a very unstructured religion, with no rank. The Holy Symbol of Itat is an inscription on the follower's sword, which is often silver.  In many towns, Itat's priests may draw swords even though it would be illegal for others.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: Itat’s dual nature as a god of justice and thieves makes his religion hard for some more justice-oriented faiths to accept. Other than that, his followers only have conflicts based on alignment.

Jasia’s faith has been dead for a thousand years, she has no living priests at all.

Specialty Priests of Fortuna call themselves The Priests of Fortune. The majority of Fortuna’s followers above 0^th level are either simple clerics or mercenary men-at-arms. Her holy symbol is a coin bearing an image of the goddess on one side and a wheel of fortune on the other. Followers of Fortuna often tithe as much as 25% of their income to temples of Fortuna. No one is sure where the money goes, but often a cleric of Fortuna who just happens to have a specific spell memorized will stumble upon a devout believer in Fortuna just as he or she needs that spell.

Relationships with Other Priesthoods:  Everyone tries to get on the goodside of priests of fortune.
