the lazy traveller or the faint of heart." - Guild Leader Esuin
About Clerics
Spiritual warriors, following the
holy path, clerics maintain direct communication with their gods and goddesses,
allowing them to receive everything from divination to protection. The spiritual guides of the people
of Elanthia, Clerics are wise men and women who are the most in touch with
the Gods. A Cleric is a templar -- a holy warrior. Not so much as
a Paladin, but rather they do more of the gods work through magic, rather
than combat.
Primary Skill - Magic - Clerics make use of
the powers of holy magic.
Secondary Skill - Lore, Weapons
Ability - Direct communication with
one's god or goddess allows the cleric to receive everything from divination
to protection. Clerics are the only ones who can resurrect.
Limitation - Constant rituals are
required to prove the clerics' faithfulness to their gods. Lack of faithfulness
or touching something that may be deemed fouling to their spiritual purity
will cause them to lose communication with their god.
Guild Crest - a pair of hands, one
light and one dark, cradling a bridge that spans the two palms. Crossing
the bridge are several people in various stages of life and death
Special Abilities
Devotion
Clerics are the primary conduit
between mortals and the gods. A true Cleric must always be conscious to
show respect and devotion to the deities of their choice. A Cleric in high
favor with his or her gods will find that their magical abilities are enhanced.
Likewise, a Cleric who shirks their duties and ignores the gods may find
their abilities fading. There are dozens of ritual sequences and puzzles
to choose from that allow a Cleric to show their devotion. These methods
are as unique and varied as the gods themselves.
Communion
Clerics have the unique ability
to COMMUNE with the gods in their time of need, calling upon the favor
they have earned through their dutiful devotions. Utilizing these abilities
will strain the Cleric's favor with their gods, so a wise Priest will continue
to show their devotion through rituals, in turn allowing them to commune
with the gods more often and for greater benefit.
Communes are abilities the gods have
given clerics for the completion of holy quests. Using the communes
will lower you devotion level. The amount is dependant on the commune
used. Consecrate ground costs the most devotion to use.
Oil bless is fairly taxing. The rest of the communes don't seem to
take as much.
Commune Quests
2nd circle - Tamsine's Blessing
Grants an offensive bonus to yourself or another.
Take a sirese flower to Tamsine's
shrine. Put flower on the rock. Offer the flower.
To
use, SPRINKLE [person] WITH VIAL (filled with holy water), and COMMUNE.
3rd circle - Eluned's Blessing
Grants a defensive bonus to yourself or another.
Go to the bridge south of reavers. Go east, se, go pool,
meditate and you will turn into a fish. After you are a fish dive deep.
To use, light a lit incense and WAVE INCENSE AT [person] or self and COMMUNE.
8th circle - Kertigen's Blessing
'Oil Bless' bestows a strong blessing upon a weapon in effect sharpening
it.
First
make your way to the Oeblichar in Stone Clan. if you don't know where it is, head
a little north of rock trolls till you see a stoney trail. Climb
the trail, up, go door, say "grek" (password to enter Stone Clan), go door
again, n,ne,n,n,nw,n,n,n,go stone, go oeblichar. Go to the Oeblichar .
Jump into the pit and then make your way to the altar by going thru the
rooms using the correct sequence. When you get inside, the only way
out is to find the altar and pray, or spend enough time down there and
you will become unconscious and wake up outside of it. you have to either look torch if
there are torches above the doorways, or look floor if ther is a knotwork
pattern in the floor. if you don't do this in every room to find
your way, then you will be returned to the oeblichar when you pray at the
altar. If you wish, this script will take you to the altar doing
all the correct steps. just enter the oeblichar, wait for the stun
to wear off, stand, and start the script. oeblichar.cmd.
The correct direction can either be found
by watching the lighting, or by looking at the floor. Each room also
has one letter worked into a design on the floor and it spells K-e-r-t-i-g-e-n.
You are on a very short timer and must do this quickly, or you will be
tossed out on the floor beside the pit. Once you get to the altar, just
pray once and wait.
To use, SPRINKLE [weapon] WITH
VIAL (filled with holy oil) and COMMUNE. Gives more strikes of bless on a weapon than the spell, also lasts longer than the spell version. Sheathing the weapon
or taking it to a forge for repairs does decrease the length of time that
the bless will last. The weapon is more effective in the hands of a cleric.
12th circle - Hodierna's Blessing
Prevents the vitality loss and flow of blood from wounds for approximately 15 min. depending on your devotion,
circle, and charisma.
Go to Hodierna's Solace which is on
the south side of the crossing ferry. From the docks, go: s,
s, s, go path, go clear, go arch. open the book, and read it.
after you are done with the last page, climb the stairs, and get flame.

holy water), SPRINKLE VIAL ON [self] (filled with holy oil), and COMMUNE.

First you have to go to the Cape
of Storms, and find the Empath Bartling. Go to
the old lighthouse (go to middens like you are going to Fort Motte). To get there, from the outside
the eastern gate of crossing go e, ne, n, n, e, se, ne, ne, e, and
go plank, then follow it to the shed, ne, e, e, se, e, se, up, e, go shed, go arch, climb stair, up,

dive cliff, dive cliff. Here you have your vision, when it's over climb
indents to get back to the top of the cliff.

oil, apply to yourself and commune - You must prepare the balm as shown to
you in your vision -- be sure to also use a chemical to help bond the balm.
20th circle - Meraud's Blessing
This blessing, also known as Consecrate Ground,
prevents monsters from entering the area and makes
it also a "safe zone", while greatly increasing the
holy mana in the room. It is also said that the commune itself makes
the room devotionally holy and some rituals can be performed on consecrated
ground.
Go to the old broken tower above wolf clan and climb to the top. Touch
the wolf statue.
To use, sprinkle holy water on yourself,
wave lit incense at yourself and commune.
20th-25th circle - Ressurection Spell
- Currently unavailable
FOR NOSTALGIA - Get a candle from
the Haven cleric shop. During the night time, go to Zaulfang swamp area
to the boar trail that goes south of the standing stones and go as far
south and east as you can. When you hear the wailing ghost, go sound. This
takes you into the spiny dyrachis hunting area and the altar is east.
At the altar, get chalice, light candle, get on the altar. You will
die and drop the candle, get it relit as soon as you can, then you can
see the bridge. Put candle on bridge. This allows you to see both ends
of the bridge and allows you to get back.
35th circle - Glythtide's Blessing
The cleric learns how to prepare the Saemaus Kiss Rose and the Be'ort
Tear Rose. The Saemaus rose is used to bond the hearts of two people
and will provide them with 20 more intimate verbs. The Be'ort Rose
and Be'ort Blade (purchased in Dirge for 7 - 9 plat kro) is used
in the ceremony to sunder that bond.
To use the Saemaus Kiss Rose each mate/spouse kisses the rose, for the Be'ort Tear Rose,
one of the couple curses the rose, the cleric
then cuts it with the Be'ort Blade, and finally the cleric breaks the rose.
Go out the NE gate of Leth and head north a few rooms.
When you see the
room where all the foliage is a golden hue, pull bough, then go path.
Head to the gazebo (E and N). Drink the wine and the gnome will come
and speak to you. After he finishes, go path to the garden and get
petals, then go to the next room and get rue. Go back to the gazebo
and you will be told how to make the Saemus Kiss rose and the Be'ort Tear
rose. You will be able to return to this location to get more rue
and more petals.
Crush the petals and mix with holy
oil and dracon crystals to make rose attar, sprinkle attar on wild rose,
place rose on altar and commune - Makes Saemus Kiss Rose
Burn the rue, sprinkle ashes on
wild rose, place rose on altar and commune - Makes Be'ort Tear Rose
Before you talk to the halfling
make sure to get the rose petals, dracon crystals, holy oil, bowl, stick,
mortar and pestle. I think he will say something different if you dont
have that stuff.
1. go to golden bough near bosque
deriel
2. look bough
3. go path
4. go easterly to gazebo, go gazebo
5. search trap
6. go trap
7. listen to halfling, he'll kick
you out when he is done
8. get some of the rose petals from
the garden out back of the gazebo
9. crush rose petals in mortar
10. crush dracon crystals in mortar
11. put rose pulp and dracon powder
in a small jar.
12. put holy oil in jar
13. mix rose pulp in jar with a
stick
14. this makes attar
15. sprinkle attar on rose (any
rose will do)
16. commune with rose in hand
17. went to guild, circled.
The halfling said to take the rose
to the holy altars and offer it or something but i guess you dont need
to do that to circle. You only need to do that along with the rest of the
stuff he says if you ever want to marry someone.
Red or purple seems to be anything
5 ranks or over. From there it goes pink, yellow, orange (maybe), golden,
and finally silver nimbus being
down 0 ranks
Making Prayer Beads
Making prayer beads is a new method
of devotion, released on March 18, 2001. In order to use them once
completed, you need to meditate with them on consecrated ground, such as
an altar or other holy area. Here's the other information we have
so far:
1) Forage a limb of any type of wood.
2) Sprinkle holy water or oil on
it.
3) Bless it -- the limb is now consecrated.
4) With a knife, carve the limb
into a large block. (CARVE MY LIMB WITH MY KNIFE)
5) With a shaper, shape the block
into the image of an animal. (SHAPE [block] TO [animal])
6) Once it is complete, you should
be able to add the bead onto a silver chain -- the ones from the broken
gweths should work -- each will hold 10 beads each. They are then
worn on the wrist.
The difficulty of carving the different
woods is as follows: pine, maple, spruce, birch, fir, mahagony, willow,
ash, crystal, alder, elm, walnut, oak, teak, rosewood, onyx, ebony.
Making the block is a very simple
process -- the actual shaping is quite difficult and the following RT's
are associated with the successes: 5, 8, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35(finished).
You can appraise finished beads to assess their worth versus the maximum
for that material type, as well as comparing that material type to overall
quality. This will help you gauge which materials are best and offer
the most devotion/difficulty tradeoff. There's also a hint that they
might become attuned over time, similar to Moon Mages bones.
Much like origami, there are primers
to make the beads and, if you study the primer, it will give you a bonus
based on your scholarship. Also, you may purchase pre-made blocks,
as well as the other items needed, from the merchants located in Dirge,
Riverhaven, Shard, and four other locations.
