This guild, as a monastic order, has existed in the Lands for hundreds of years. Some suspect that they, in fact, established the monarchy of Gladstone. Their tenants focus on freedom of thought and responsibility of action. Their healing and restorative talents are unmatched in the Lands. While it's true that many of Clerical studies revolve around healing and growth of the spirit, don't mistake this as a guild for weaklings.
Clerics know how to swing a sword as well as cast a righteously powerful spell.
On the other side of the moral spectrum is the guild of thieves, assassins and scoundrels of all sorts. But I must admit, they offer many membership benefits, if you and your purse can stand to be in their company. They teach the skills of Pick Lock, Steal, Backstab, Sniper and Death Strike. The idea of membership is shaky at best, and advancement often found through shady dealings. Do the bidding of The Bacchanal at your own peril.
