Official Occupation

Author: christopherallison


A priest is a specialist in using Rune magic for the benefit of the cult members. They are representatives of their deity and their cult forms the focus of their life. Some priests (popularly called Rune Priests) are fully supported by the resources of their temple (which often is treated as their own property). Other priests are “part-time” and their activities only partially supported by the resources of the temple. These priests are popularly called “God-talkers,” and often support themselves, at least in part, through a second occupation.
