==Clerical Practice==

Clerics in the Lost Lands are often affiliated with national or regional temples rather than an abstract universal church. The withdrawal of the gods means divine magic is interpreted as a sign of special favor, prophecy, or hereditary calling. Divine magic is instead said to derive from angels and devils -- intermediaries between the divine world and the physical world. Some deities, like Fain, Sere, and Ekekkia, maintain active hierarchies and political power, while others, like Jura or Bale, have dispersed cults.
