Message: <blockquote data-quote="arwink" data-source="post: 518722" data-attributes="member: 2292">By the standards of the empire, St Cuthbert doesn’t have a large following.  The worshippers that fill his temple may never match the hordes that file through the grand cathedrals of Sarcon, Laremon and Archan in Seldarn City, and he lacks the broad appeal of the common gods like Durkannan the Forger or Uldora the Hearth-Maiden.  The forces of the Saint are few, but his followers are plentiful enough for his purpose and what they lack in numbers they make up for in faith and position.  St Cuthbert is god of Law, and his faithful serve as judges and lawyers in the larger cities, guard chaplains and commanders in the Imperial provinces, and roaming Justicars in the wild lands in between.  The reach of the Saint is broad, and Cuthbertite clerics are owed favors by a wide variety people.It all starts with a debt that must be repaid.For Halgo Torke, the church was a means to an end.  After hearing an elf deride his races ability to master the arts of magic, the young dwarf went searching for a tutor that would accept him.  It was an act of petty defiance, or perhaps one of poetic justice, but he was connected with an aging illusionist through the church, and in return for church paying for his tutelage he has agreed to repay the debt with service.  For Blarth, duty was repayment for a favor yet to be rendered.  As a youth he was abandoned as his parents were taken by bounty hunters and kidnapping, forced to rely on his own considerable strength.  Found by a psi-warrior who served the Church as a Drakkarim, Blarth’s raw talent was molded and shaped.  A warrior in every way, Blarth is a follower of Drakkar – St Cuthbert’s Angel of Righteous War and Vengeance, and the half-orc is convinced that loyal service will one day return his parents to him.For Geoffrey Cromwell, his debt is repaid with service.  An aging cleric of the Saint took him in as a youth, guided him towards his fate when he was lost and angry with the world.  Molded by the old mans words and deeds, Geoffrey was trained in the arts of theology, magic and battle before being sent out into the world.  His superiors have high hopes for him, and it’s thought that with time and training he may even reach the rank of Justicar.For Yip, Brother of the Unbending Fist, the debt was burned into his very soul.  Born, like most of his clan, in a temple of the Saint and raised to believe in a life of service and obligation, the church forged the young kobolds very body and mind into a living weapon.  The church has given him a life, a purpose, and a family, and he will repay them for these gifts with loyalty and dedication.  It all starts with a debt, and when the call comes to report to the Cannon of a small town along the Halark Coast, all obey.</blockquote>
