[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7405382, member: 6802951"] A though, but may be a little too far from how you want your world to work: Rather than tie divine magic into places and objects, tie it into communities and faith. So instead of being empowered by sitting in the derelict temple of a god that has abandoned the world, a cleric would spend time interacting with people, encouraging their ethos, and expanding their communities. This would mean that a cleric would have an ethos: a way of life that they champion rather than a specific god. This might mean a shift in what divine magic actually is. There might even be a clash between the old ways of following the gods that have turned their back on the world and the new ways of caring more about the people in the world. Rather than questing for ancient artifacts of the old religions and lost temples, a cleric would quest for the betterment of their community and to demonstrate the power of their beliefs. By encouraging the people they meet to follow their beliefs, a cleric would not have to keep returning to the same community to regain power, and may well create new communities as they travel.
