Or rather, I should say that every lord has an associated cleric that he has assigned to look over his lands and people as well as offer guidence and they form the basis of the government. For leagal issues, the clerics cast Zone of Turth and the lord acts as judge. For military matters, which includes wandering monsters, the lord gathers his men and then cleric gathers his alcolytes and they go try to solve the problem.Clerics that haven't been recognised by the lords are often outcasts. Although most lords will not want to offend a cleric of a similar or allied god and may provide food and lodging, they typically are not allowed to solicit money or at least are not granted such. Clerics of less favorable gods are either run out or even hunted down and killed. These clerics must hide and operate in secret. Sometime they are supported by the local population and sometimes they act alone or part of a secret society.</blockquote>
