## Worshippers

When it comes to Midiri the first thing that often comes to mind is Damis itself, being the creator of the planets and stars it is believed that Midiri also created Damis and is often called Mother Earth because of this. But there are many other things that come to mind for others, her mastership of the forge, her excellently crafted artifacts of the Irk'si'kai, or passion for justice and travel. Due to just how many things Midiri represents her worshippers often find many different and distinct ways of praying to her with many devoting themselves as paladins to her various temples out of her sense of justice and strength.

### Clergy

The core clergy of Midiri are view as justice bringers, gardeners, and master of some form of artisanship, they are organized around the publications known as the *Earth's Embrace*, a series of book written over the course of 50 years by multiple of Midiri's high priests, some of the most well known include: Grumek, Lila Dawnsinger, Lylas Mercar, Izaie Crumb, and Suzu. The *Earth's Embrace* documents various experiences high priests and clerics have had when meeting Midiri "face-to-face" and how these affect the way that worship of her should be conducted as well as the core rules of Midiri as interpreted by the various writers. Most of Midiri's clergy can be identified by their symbol of worship which is often something from an element of nature with the common symbol of Midiri carved into it.
