Divine Agents
Not every acolyte or officiant at a temple or shrine is a
cleric. Some priests are called to a simple life of temple
service, carrying out their gods' will through prayer and
sacrifice, not by magic and strength of arms. In some cities,
priesthood amounts to a political office, viewed as a
stepping stone to higher positions of authority and
involving no communion with a god at all. True clerics are
rare in most hierarchies.
When a cleric takes up an adventuring life, it is usually
because his or her god demands it. Pursuing the goals of
the gods often involves braving dangers beyond the walls of
civilization, smiting evil or seeking holy relics in ancient
tombs. Many clerics are also expected to protect their
deities' worshipers, which can mean fighting rampaging
orcs, negotiating peace between warring nations, or sealing
a portal that would allow a demon prince to enter the
world.
Most adventuring clerics maintain some connection to
established temples and orders of their faiths. A temple
might ask for a cleric's aid, or a high priest might be in a
position to demand it.
