Within Desaenos there are many faiths which draw upon the power of all who have come before. Weather a derivative of the dwarvish elders, the great riders of Chiron, the Way of the Claw or the more heretical faiths of Asatro or the infernal redeeming faiths you have inherited the culture of your people and carry their legacy and traditions upon your back. Ancestral clerics often spend long periods of time practicing and preforming the legends of their people to others within their faith, working hard to commit the vast pantheons of saints, elders, dragons, heroes or the subject of their cultural vernation to memory. Only then will the cleric leave home and seek to bring honor and glory to their people.
