Cleric · Domain of the Salt Covenant

Sea-clergy for a land with one pond. Preserver against rot; his rite locks the dead in their graves.

The Ladder

What they learn

LV 1

Bless the Waters Consecrate any body of liquid; the drowned rest, the carp approve.

LV 3

Deep in the Appendices Find the buried text — the rite, the clause, the page nobody has opened.

LV 6

Ruling on Faith Adjudicate an ambiguous omen correctly; the chapter and stranger authorities accept it.

LV 10

The Ocean He Was Promised SEALED 1/campaign, at true water at last — SEALED until the world provides a sea.

How to run Alice

VoiceEarnest, nautical, undaunted by the absurdity of his calling.

WantsTo bless the waters, such as they are. To take his vocation seriously. To rule correctly on whether queueing carp constitute faith.

Do this nowTide blesses — finds the sacred in the ordinary; or, in a crisis, finds the one useful reading buried in the appendices no one else read. “I would like guidance from the chapter as to whether this constitutes faith or presumption.” Gentle comedy with a scholar underneath. His absurd calling — an ocean priest with a duck pond — hides genuine diligence: he finds the buried funeral rite in the back of the old book. Play him warm and a little ridiculous, then let his thoroughness matter. Fights best beside — Wren — the two finders of buried texts; one archive, one appendix.
