By having different sects in a campaign focus on different aspects of a deity, a DM can differentiate between various sects and temples.   (In the preceding example, most temples of Apollo might have someone knowledgeable in each of these areas -- but characters might have to travel to a distant temple to find those most skilled in prophecy.)</blockquote>
