Clerics
The Cleric is an Organizational Class, meaning that taking a level of Cleric on this server indicates that the player is a member of an organization devoted to a God. Read more on Gods to find one that matches the desires of your character.
The Gods on this server are fairly flexible so this should leave plenty of room for players to develop nearly any kind of background as a Cleric.
Magic spells cast by a cleric are done so by the will of their God. This means that if a cleric dis-obeys the rules of their religion, they may suffer consequences from their God.
Clerics are also the only class that can raise the dead in our Permanent Death System.
Evil Clerics
Evil clerics are a complex role to play correctly. It helps to have an understanding of what it means to be a charismatic leader. Sometimes, a leader emerges from the group without any real special abilities or great feats of strength. Sometimes it takes something else, the simple ability to inspire, perhaps by telling people what they need to hear, manipulation.
No doubt about it, dark Clerics usually start out with very good intention and then perhaps they do something wrong and their charisma is compromised. Something considered sacrilege; therefore, they must pay. The Gods have a way of abandoning those that do not follow by their own will. Clergy can find themselves without God at all in some very rare and unfortunate circumstances. Without their God, they are unable to cast or use magic, so they are shamefully reduced.
It is during these dark times that clergy can be tempted by a slightly darker God. This new God can offer new power and it can give back to the Cleric the use of magic. Some clergy may fall into this spiral many times and after many failures they sometimes end up in the darkest depths of evil. This is the result of many years of suffering and usually takes a very long time to complete properly.
