The body building diet has proved to be one of the most incredibly elusive secrets to achievement for each and every natural body building fan. For sure, everyone knows this is the the crucial element in escalating new muscle but after a body building diet and STILL having adequate money leftover for that leopard-skin thong you've had your eye on generally is a challenge for anybody! (Ok I need that visual to leave my head!).

==I. Introduction==


Here I will discuss 5 powerful techniques for supporting your diet plan nevertheless having ample money left over for your 401k:
Many snowfalls ago I ventured through the bustling gates of
a foreign city, where people hustled to and fro oblivious
to strangers. They called it the Crossing when I inquired,
but the answers to my other questions were slow to come and
I was alone, confused and stumbling over my own two feet.
Told to find a profession, unknowing of the life each would
bring, I sought the clerics and have since discovered the
answers to the knowledge I sought so long ago. The
following memoirs I have penned in hopes other young
clerics can discover what they wish to know with relative
ease. Listen to my words carefully for in them you will
find knowledge.


==II. Finding the Cleric Guild==


I had decided to become a cleric, helper to those who seek
protection in and from death. But where was this Cleric
Guild all spoke so highly of? Luckily, today this is
relatively easy to find. [[The Tenderfoot Inn]], located inside
[[Jadewater Mansion]], is where all new citizens check into
town. Outside of the mansion, and outside every building in
the city, there is a map engraved in the streets. To read
this map you must ask for directions. When you have you
will notice directions to many places of import, one of
them the [[Cleric]]'s Guild. Follow the etched paths and you
will arrive at the Cleric's Guild without worry of getting
lost. Much, much easier than wandering around aimlessly
like myself.


Budget Tip # 1: Work With A Grocery List
(Use command: DIR CLERIC to discover the cleric guild)


==III. Joining the Cleric's Guild==


I found the guild and stood nervously before a wizened
woman. She introduced herself as [[Tallis]], the guild master.
She spoke kindly to me, bidding me to join with her and
anxiously I did. Today she resides in her own office, not
the busy main room, but she welcomes all that enter. Fear
her not, and ask her about our guild.


Wouldn't it be excellent if the local supermarket had its very own <span class="plainlinks">[http://how2gainweightfast.org/mass-gainers/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">mass gainer</span>] Aisle"? Contemplate it shelf after shelf of raw meat, more vegetables and 6-packs of androgenic hormone or testosterone!
She will instruct you in the ways of clerical life, asking
if you wish to become one who follows the gods. If this is
the path you desire, join the guild and she will continue
your education. Get to know Tallis well. You will need to
fulfill requirements in your studies and only she can guide
you through the paths of the Gods.


(Use commands : ASK TALLIS ABOUT GUILD and JOIN to join the
cleric guild)


She will also tell you what your duties will include. After
you have spent your days with her and have been taught the
basics, you may ask her about the holy magic. She will
inform you on all the spell abilities and request you
choose one spell to begin with.


Ok you can vision, right? But rather, go equipped with a plan for HOW you can attack those grocery aisles by bringing along a summary of all the foods you should aid your daily diet and you should not buy on impulse stick to your list!
(Use commands: ASK TALLIS ABOUT MAGIC to hear the magics
of the cleric guild)


When Tallis has finished training you, I suggest you
explore the many rooms of the guild. Many elder clerics
frequent the guild and have knowledge to share, and the
guild is also where many will come to request your
assistance. Be sure to visit the [[Cleric Guild Library - Crossing|library]], just east of the
main hall. Look on the shelves there and read the titles of
the books. Take a book off the shelf by using the call
number, open it up and read the book. The books in our
library can be enjoyable and a few will tell you about our
abilities in greater detail than my humble words. In
addition this will familiarize you with using any of the
other libraries found in other cities.


(Use commands: LOOK ON SHELF and GET <Call Number> and
OPEN BOOK and READ BOOK to get a book and read it)


Budget Idea # 2: Buy Carbohydrate food Large Quantities
==IV. Training Basics==


I remember everyone asked me if I had completed my training
and I can still feel the blank look I returned in answer.
Even Tallis mentioned training. Yet, baffled as I was, I
slowly began to comprehend.


Training is an every day part of life. We train our
strength, our reflexes and even our mental abilities.
However, to understand what you need to train, you need to
know what your abilities already are. You can discover how
strong you are, or how quickly you react with information
in your mind. Information will allow you to discover your
current [[Attributes|abilities]], (stats); and training means raising your
abilities. For instance, if you wanted to know how many
sacks of grain you could lift you would look at your
strength and discover what you are able to lift.


Every natural bodybuilder's kitchen should be stored with the right kind of complex carbohydrate food and also fortunately you should purchase potatoes, brown rice, oats plus beans large quantities.
Another form of training comes from practicing your skills
and developing yourself through time. ([[Time Development
Points]] or TDP's.) You may also think of TDP's as experience
points to some degree. The more you gain in time
development, the more you can train your abilities. Why do
you need TDP's? Because training is not free. Training will
increase your coin debt, but it also will spend those
TDP's. You will find the more you want to increase your
abilities the more time development you will need. Keep in
mind as well, that when you use your time development, it
will decrease and you will also be assessed a coin cost. If
you are raising something your [[:Category:Races|race]] is poor in (like
[[Elothean]]s and [[Strength (stat)|strength]]) it will be even more costly.
When you speak with Tallis she will require a minimum of
training before she will allow you to join our guild. If
you do not meet her expectations don't panic! There are two
things you may do if she requests you train more before
joining.


The first option is to train with the guild leader in
areas. Listen closely to what Tallis tells you upon joining
to see if that opportunity is granted to you.


The second option is to go train yourself in specific areas
depending on what you wish to learn.


If the bulk bins aren't obtainable, of course choose the larger sized containers if they're on discount sales. Stock up! A complete kitchen pantry full of the essentials is important.
If you decide to train on your own, be prepared to do a lot
of walking as the centers are scattered about the town.
After you make your way to the [[:Category:Statistic Trainers|training grounds]] (and some
will take a bit of searching for) you will need to train.
When you train, the instructor will tell you how long it
will take, how much Time Development and how many coins. If
you wish to train again, you need only continue. Do this
until you have the desired amount of a particular ability
and then go on to the next. There is little reason to save
your Time Development unless you are saving it to train in
one particular area, and you need a certain amount to do
so. This is a good way to familiarize yourself with The
Crossing. However, I recommend training under Tallis until
you are comfortable with the city. Besides, she doesn't
poke fun and insult you as some of the other trainers are
prone to do.


(Use commands: INFO to see your stats, and DIR <Training
place> to find the training grounds, and TRAIN to train in
a stat)




Budget Some words of advice # 3: Buy Generic
==V. Clerical Magic==


As I wandered through the guild, it dawned on me that
although I knew a spell, I really did not know how to use
it or how we Clerics came to have magical abilities. Even
Tallis couldn't help me understand, so I began to inquire;
and the following was explained to me.


The magic we use is [[:Category:Holy Magic|Holy Magic]], granted to us by the gods
alone. Some spells divine gifts while others are merely
manipulations of the Holy Energies around us.


Search for VALUE! Brand loyalties certainly are a thing of the past as numerous store brand items are simply as good as the highly marketed brand name foods just CHEAPER!
There are four books currently in Tallis's ancient spell
library. We can learn one spell from her at different
stages of life, usually after a promotion. If you ask
Tallis about our magic she will explain that the four books
each pertain to a different type of manipulation. These
books include [[:Category:Holy Defense Spellbook|The Holy Defense Book]], [[:Category:Spirit Manipulation Spellbook|The Spirit
Manipulation Book]], [[:Category:Holy Enchantments Spellbook|The Holy Enchantments Book]] and [[:Category:Divine Intervention Spellbook|The
Divine Intervention Book]]. Each book contains different
spells, and Tallis is more than willing to explain each
book and each spell, again, if you ask about them.


You will be allowed to choose one spell when you join our
guild. I strongly recommend the [[Protection from Evil]] Spell.
Other spells are difficult to use or require advanced
knowledge to obtain, such as the [[Resurrection]] Spell.
Through the use of spells you will learn your [[Primary Magic skill|primary magic
skills]]. Tallis will keep you informed throughout your life
on when you will be allowed to learn new spells. She will
also teach them to you.


A few notes from my spell book:


Budget Tip # 4: Fruits & Veggies Are The Good friends
''Holy Defense Book:''<br />
Protection From Evil - protects from evil entities.


''Spirit Manipulation Book:''<br />
[[Rejuvenation]] - restores memories to those that have fallen.


''Holy Enchantment Book:''<br />
[[Bless]] - blesses a weapon to fight undead creatures.


Many fruits as well as vegetables and fruits contain a lot more minerals and vitamins than unhealthy food and they are a proper as well as affordable staple for a body building <span class="plainlinks">[http://how2gainweightfast.org/mass-gainers/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">mass gainer</span>] diet.
''Divine Intervention Book:''<br />
[[Aesrela Everild]] - rains bolts of holy fire on threatening beasts.


(Use commands: ASK TALLIS ABOUT MAGIC to hear the different
magic books, and ASK TALLIS ABOUT <Name of Book> to see the
spells within that book, and ASK TALLIS ABOUT <Name of
Spell> to hear about a particular spell)


==VI. Clerical Armor and Weapons==


Grow to be chums using your produce expert at the local grocery and ask for the very best current deals.
When I learned that we had to hunt, I asked my elders what
we needed. Everyone had a different opinion which left me
confused once again. I soon discovered that as a Cleric we
are free to choose whatever armaments desire. I have
included excerpts from my memoirs on the most common
clerical armor types and weapon types. What you decide on
eventually should relate to how much weight you can carry,
for armor varies in weight.


''[[Leather Armor skill|Leather Armor]]''<br />
Leather armor gives you the least amount of hinderance and
allows you better movement. As you can probably imagine it
also weighs less than any other. However, it will not
protect you as well as some of the heavier armor. But you
will learn to evade in it rather well in time, and the more
you evade, the less chance you have of getting hit. If you
are slight on strength and stamina, you might wish to
consider it. In the Crossing's armory, leather is sold
fairly cheaply.


''[[Light Chain skill|Light Chain Armor]]''<br />
In general, Light Chain Armor will hinder your movement
greatly, and it can be heavy. It is strong and can
withstand heavy blows. It is also more expensive than
leather armor, and will weigh you down if you are lower in
strength and stamina. However, it is my armor of choice.
It can be fairly expensive, but can be found again at the
Crossing Armory.


Budget Tip # 5: Shop The Outer Ring
''[[Heavy Plate skill|Plate Armor]]''<br />
Plate seems to be the third most favored item. Perhaps that
is because of the protection that it offers. It too covers
a vast amount of your body, but it is extremely heavy. If
you are of a race that has high strength naturally, plate
might just be what you want. It can withstand many a shot,
and many a blow. It has a high manuever hindrance, which
makes evasion difficult and it is expensive, yet sold in
the Crossing.


Again, these general types are not required, and there are
many types of armor to choose from. What is important,
though, is the coverage you will want in armor and to know
what areas to protect on your body. And as your coin will
probably be limited, you will probably have to start in the
Crossing to purchase your armor.


Most importantly, cover your chest area. A breastplate, or
a shirt will cover your chest and your abdomen. These are
strongly recommended, though they are a little more
expensive. It seems that you cannot learn your armor skills
unless you have one. If you don't invest in one of them,
make sure you purchase a tasset. It protects your abdomen,
but cannot be worn with a breast plate or a shirt. Next,
you will want a pair of vambraces which protects your arms;
again, unnecessary if you purchase a shirt. Greaves protect
your legs. You need greaves with almost anything. And
finally, for body armor, you need an aventail to keep you
from getting your neck sliced open.


Don't forget once I mentioned how great it might be if each foodstuff had its own Bodybuilder Aisle"?
Gloves! Must have gloves. What type you get matters little
in the early stages of hunting, and a good way to start is
a pair of leather gloves. They are durable and fairly
inexpensive. Helmets are a definite must or you will be
dead instantly. And again, there are many choices in helms.


The [[Shield Usage skill|shield]] is a must for clerical life as you will be asked
to learn it for as long as you study in the guild. There
are many shields that you can choose from, different in how
heavy they are, and how much they are.
===Weapons:===
For us clerics, again we may choose whatever we are
comfortable with. There are many types forged in the lands.
However, there are predominant favorites in our guild.


''[[Medium Edged skill|Medium Edged Weapons]]''<br />
Medium Edged is slightly heavier than light, and still good
for those with fairly low strength. They are moderately
severe with damage, fairly durable and have a moderate
swingtime. They are sold in the Weapon shop in the
Crossing, and will be listed as a scimitar, cutlass, or
rapier. The cutlass is the least expensive.


Well, guess what? It Does!
''[[Heavy Edged skill|Heavy Edged Weapons]]''<br />
Heavy edged is by far your most destructive blade; however,
it is not for those that have low strength or stamina. They
are severe in damage, but with a longer swingtime, and most
will throw you off balance. They are more expensive, sold
in the weapon shop in Crossing and will be listed as a
longsword or a broadsword.


''[[Weapons#Ranged Weapons|Ranged Weapons]]''<br />
Ranged weapons come in the form of bows and arrows. They
are highly effective in battle but require some time to get
the needed ability. The only drawback they have is the
amount of time it takes to load the weapon and fire it.
[[Long Bow skill|Longbows]], [[Short Bow skill|short bows]] and [[Light Crossbow skill|crossbows]] are sold in the weapon
shop and they are moderate in price. Remember to carry more
than one arrow if you choose ranged weapons, for there is
nothing worse than lodging an arrow in an opponent without
a spare! It only succeeds in enraging the opponent further.


(Use commands: DIR ARMORY to find the armory, DIR WEAPON to
find the weapon shop, READ CAT to look at the catalog in
each shop, ORDER <Item> to order and purchase the item)


In reality, virtually the whole outer ring of your store can be viewed as a body building diet aisle !
==VII. Other Necessities==


There are other items I have discovered that make Clerical
life easier, and you will want to invest in them as soon as
possible.


The first item is a backpack which you can purchase at the
general store. This will allow you to carry your belongings
with you.


Some tips about what I mean
You will also need some type of magical device such as a
rune. Tallis requires you to study how to use [[Magical Devices skill|magical
devices]] for the duration of your career. Often, other
Clerics will have a spare they will part with. Don't be
afraid to ask.


(Use Commands: DIR GENERAL STORE to get to the general
store)


==VIII. Earning Money as a Cleric==


Think about your own local store as well as what is based around the border of the store. Most likely this is when you can find your dairy, meats, vegetables, fruit, and fresh fish all of which are generally basics of a healthy body building diet, right?
I do so remember the days I had a bank account...then I got
married, had a family and somehow grew poor. If you wish
money, don't marry! But truly, income for our profession
is relatively easy to obtain.


There are two ways to earn money as a cleric. For the first
few days you probably would be best gathering branches and
giving them to dear old [[Mags]]. You will need to venture
outside town and [[Foraging skill|forage]] around for branches. When you find
a branch put it in your backpack. When you have collected a
backpack full you will want to sell them. You'll need to
make your way into town to the Bazaar. Ask people you may
pass on how to get there. Once you find the Bazaar, get the
branch from your backpack and then give the branch to Mags.
Since Mags uses them in her day-to-day life, when you give
her the branches you have gathered, she will in turn give
you coins. This is the easiest way to make your first
coins.


However, as a cleric, we need battle abilities, which means
hunting. The safest place to learn to hunt is in the
shipyard. The sailors evidently are too busy shipping wares
to curb the rat infestation there, and would welcome your
help. If you spot a [[rat]] scurrying about you will want to
engage it in battle. For edged weapons you want to parry,
then advance the rat, then slice at the rat. Do this
continuously until it is dead, then [[Skinning skill|skin]] the rat. Save the
skin in your backpack; you can sell it at the tanners later
for more coins. Be wary of their sharp teeth, though, their
bite can be deadly!


Highly processed and also junk foods are generally perfectly found on the middle aisles therefore stick to the outer ring wherever possible and you can't go wrong.
When you discover you are successfully and continually
killing the rats you are ready for a more difficult
opponent. Move out the west gate and immediately take the
path. Out there you will encounter [[goblin]]s and [[Musk Hog|hogs]], with
an occasional [[cougar]]. Do the same as you did in rats, only
after you skin the critter, search the critter. It will
have either a box of some type or coins on it. Get the
coins and pick up the box. Keep the box for later, it will
need to be [[Disarm Traps skill|disarmed]] and [[Lockpicking skill|picked]]. Inside it you will find a
good amount of wealth.

The rest is up to you. Just remember to sell your skins at
the tannery, and if you find jewels, you can sell them as
well at [[Grisgonda's Gems and Jewels|Grisgonda's Jewelry Shop]]. Once you have coins in
your pockets, make certain your money is in [[Kronar]]s and is
safely deposited in the bank. If you carry your coins with
you, the local thieves will happily lighten your load.

(Use commands: FORAGE FOR BRANCH to get a branch to sell,
GIVE BRANCH TO MAGS to sell a branch, PARRY to set stance
Parry, ADV RAT to advance a rat, SLI RAT to slice at a rat,
SKIN RAT to gain the rat skin, SEARCH to search the
critter, GET <treasure item> to get the treasure, DIR
TANNERY to find the Tanners, DIR BANK to get to the bank,
EXCHANGE ALL LIRUM / DOKORA FOR KRONAR to change all
currency to Kronar, DEPOSIT ALL KRONAR to deposit all
kronar into the bank, and BALANCE to check your bank
account balance.)

==IX. Choosing a [[:Category:Immortals|God]]==

As you already know, Clerical life is a life devoted to the
gods. Our powers are granted through them, as well as our
very lives. Paying homage to these gods is an essential
part of our lives. We live by our god's values, we work for
our gods, and in return our gods guide us and grant our
favors for eternal life.

There are thirteen primary gods, each with a positive and
negative aspect. In order to choose a god or goddess to
worship you should spend some time learning about all of
them. In nearly all town libraries you can find the book,
[[The Immortals (book)|"The Immortals"]]. This book will describe what each
represents and influence. This manuscript is extremely
helpful in discovering which god or goddess best represents
your own values and beliefs. After you have discovered your
deity, you alone will know your faith, unless you choose to
educate others about your following. Your devotion to your
deity will be shown in daily prayers and in rituals for the
remainder of your life. He or she will recognize your
devotions and reward you kindly.

[[Meraud]] has brought me strength in my weakest moments and
blesses my magics, making them strong. I realized long ago
only he could guide me. Yet should you find more than one
fulfills your needs, feel free to give your devotions to
many. The gods are not jealous nor do they penalize those
that have many callings. For in truth, all gods depend on
the others for different things. Besides, it is better for
one cleric to follow many a god than none at all.

(Use commands: DIR ACADEMY to find the academy and GET
<Call Number> to get the Immortals from the shelf)

==X. What are [[Favors]]?==

Daily, Clerics must face death. We face the possibility of
our own each time we head into battle. We face the death of
others as their bodies are brought to us to help restore
the drifting soul to its mortal form. And when we face
death, favors are the only sure way to safely return life,
for even our own powers can fail us. You will need favors
to maintain your own existence as well as sharing your
favors with those less fortunate, the favorless.

When you have obtained your favors, you will find security
in death. If you are forced to depart from this world, your
soul will be restored to your body from the [[Starry Road]],
and you will awaken in the nearest holy Temple. Without
favors from your god, your soul will remain forever lost in
the Starry Road. Remember, though, once a god uses your
favor to return your soul, you must seek again to replace
what has been taken. This is why it is good practice to
seek more than one favor at a time when you quest for them.

You may quest for these favors in each of the main cities,
[[Riverhaven|Haven]], [[Shard]], and the [[The Crossing|Crossing]]. If you look to fellow
clerics they will be happy to help you in this pilgrimage.
However, do not expect them to tell you exactly what you
must do.

This is your quest and only you must fulfill it. Though it
may be frustrating, when you consider life and death
eternal, this is a small token of your time.

You will need to have chosen a god to follow, and that god
will be the one to grant your favor to you. However you
may ask for a favor from more than one god, although no
favor from one god outweighs a favor from another god.


==XI. Advancing in the Guild==

Although your life will be busy assisting those in need.
You will find that through accomplishing the tasks Tallis
assigns you, she will allow you promotions. With promotions
you will be able to learn new spells and experience parts
of life you were limited from before.

First, the skills you have learned are your experience. If
you forget them, experience will show you what they all are
again. If you desire to know what you are currently
learning, experience will tell you your field experience,
which is what you are currently learning or have recently
learned. Learning is on a scale of sorts. The more you know
and the faster you learn it at, you will see that rate
change. If you are dazed in a skill, you should stop
training in it until it settles a bit, then train some more
in it. If you are clear in that skill, it means you've
stopped learning it for the time being.

Although practice is important you should not devote your
life to all work and no play. Not only will you miss out on
the experiences life can bring you, but if you study too
long you will reach a point where what you attempt to learn
will not teach you. If you study too long, it will affect
your state of mind, and if your state of mind reaches
Mind Lock, you are unable to learn anything. It's rather
like sitting in a black and white checkered room and
attempting to count the squares. After a while they all
look the same and trying to remember where you started is
impossible. Be careful not to do too much. Should you find
yourself unable to understand further teachings, the best
thing to do is find a quiet place (I prefer under a shady
tree) and let your mind relax. That said, let me explain a
few details about gaining promotions.

First you need to seek out Tallis and ask her about the
training you need. She will recite what she wishes you to
accomplish before she will promote you. It will be up to
you to keep checking with her as you accomplish your
lessons.

Once she has explained what you need, you may seek these
lessons either by listening to the teachings of people more
educated, or by practicing them on your own. I recommend
personal practice because you will learn first hand about
the world we live in.

(Use commands EXP ALL to see all your experience, EXP to
see your field experience and ASK TALLIS ABOUT TRAINING to
see what you need to study to advance.)

There are however a few basic lessons she will require. I
have included my notes on these for better understanding.

[[Power Perceive skill|Power Perception]] - Our ability to perceive the amount of
Holy Power surrounding us through concentrating upon it.
This helps with effective spell casting as more power
equals better success.
(Use Command: CONC to check the power of the room)

[[Primary Magic skill|Primary Magic]] - Our ability to use, and the knowledge we
have of Holy Magic. This we learn through preparing and
casting spells we are taught. Casting can be on ourselves
or others, depending on the spell.
(Use Commands: PREP <name of spell> <Amount of mana in
numbers> to prepare your spell and CAST to cast the spell)

[[Harness Ability skill|Harness]] - Our ability to channel Holy Power into Holy
Spells. As we increase our harnessing ability the more we
are able to use. We accomplish this through practicing our
spells predominantly.
(Commands to Use: HARN to check your total harness and HARN
<Amount of Mana> to hold mana to contribute to a spell)

[[Magical Devices skill|Magical Devices]] - Our ability to discover, read and use
magical items. If we focus intently on these items their
properties will be revealed.
(Use Commands: FOC <Object> to see the magical properties
of a device)

[[Parry Ability skill|Parry]] - Our ability to successfully block an attacking
opponent. When we parry we attempt to block a blow with the
weapon we hold.
(Use Command: PARRY to parry an opponent)

[[:Category:Weapon Skillset|Primary Weapon]] - Our ability to successfully use our weapon
against a foe. The more we know the better fighter we
become.

[[:Category:Armor Skillset|Armor]] - Our ability to use our armor effectively and
survive attacks from our foes. We must allow ourselves some
bruises and scratches when hunting to fully understand our
armor's effectiveness.

[[Shield Usage skill|Shield]] - Our ability to block an attacker by using our
shield to cover our targeted area. For practice we must
hold it while in combat.
(Use command REMOVE SHIELD to hold your shield)

[[Mechanical Lore skill|Mechanical Lore]] - Our understanding of mechanics. This
includes studying how to crush things in mortars, how to
carve things from wood and learning which substances can be
combined to form more of one, or to create a new substance
through simple alchemy.
(Use commands: CRUSH <item> WITH PEST to crush the item in
the mortar, and COMB <item> WITH <item> to combine items)

[[Teaching skill|Teaching]] - Our ability to instruct a class on subjects we
know. When we offer to teach a skill to a student our
teaching ability improves.
(Use command: TEACH <skill> TO <person>)

[[Scholarship skill|Scholarship]] - Our overall knowledge. We improve our
scholarship through listening to more learned teachers.

[[Swimming skill|Swimming]] - Our ability to pass through bodies of water.

[[Climbing skill|Climbing]] - Our ability to climb objects that block our way.

[[First Aid skill|First Aid]] - Our ability to bandage the bleeding wounds of
ourselves or others by tending to them promptly.
(Use Commands: TEND MY <wounded part> or TEND <person>
<wounded part>)

==XII. Rituals and Quests==

===Rituals===

[[Cleric Rituals|Rituals]] are the ways we Clerics show our [[devotion]] to our
gods. We must strive constantly to remain in our chosen
deity's good graces, and not fall into their displeasure.
When we succeed in pleasing them through our rituals they
speak messages of praise to us.

Within our guild's library there is a book that explains
many types of rituals. A good way to begin showing your
devotion to your god or goddess is through prayer. Pray
when you are able, it lets our gods know they are
constantly in our thoughts.

Though it is not always easy to remain pure of mind and
heart, when it is achieved it is very rewarding. Often
visions will be granted allowing you a glimpse of what may
come. You will find in order to succeed in many tasks you
will need to be in good standing with your god or goddess.
There are many types of rituals, and you can even design
your own to some degree. But discovering them is a part of
the joy of Cleric life.

===Quests===

At times throughout your life, Tallis will require you to
quest to a sacred place and accomplish a given task. These
quests are one of the single most enjoyable aspects of our
profession. They teach us the power of our minds and offer
adventures of a new sort. These adventures are sacred and
should remain so. This means each cleric must fulfill them
on their own. While other Clerics may offer hints,
requesting the answers violates the sanctity. After all, it
is your quest and to use the knowledge of others is failing
more than having to repeat the quest until you succeed.
Although they are sacred, treasure them for few professions
are granted this. And please respect the code of honor we
abide by, and use the gifts you have been given, not those
of others.

I bid you luck my friend. Though I know not all there is to
