Description: Old balding sage with flaming white beard

	Deneir is the son of Oghma. His priests tend to be scholarly in nature, and ascribe
	most of the magical tomes or books (Tome of Understanding, Manual of Clear Thought,
	etc.) to him.


Clerical Information:

	Clericy Name:

	Main Temple Location:

	Clericy Description: The standard dress of priests of Deneir, both in normal daily
		use and for ceremony, is a tan-white tunic and matching trousers. The
		medium-length cloak is worn with the clothes as a badge of rank within the
		hierarchy. The lowest levels wear black and grays while the local High 
		Scrivener has a white cloak. The tunic has a stiff, circular collar.

		The most important identifier for a priest of Deneir is the ubiquitous writing
		kit, a triangular pouch	of leather worn on the right hip, which contains paper,
		inks, and pens.

		Adventuring priests of Deneir wear whatever is most suitable for their
		particular mission, but always have both the writing kit and a gold circlet
		on the forehead	bearing the symbol of their god.

		Denier priests have a special vow of charity, they will write letters and
		transcribe information upon request, usually at a modest price for the
		individual petitioning their help. Large projects must be negotiated, but in
		slow times, priests of Deneir can be found in the local commons and in bars,
		writing letters	for those unable to do so, charging no more than a few coppers,
		or performing the service for free to the needy.

		Also because of this vow, priests of Deneir often gain information that is
		otherwise sensitive, dangerouse, or potentially lucrative. While a sizable
		donation to the faith will help keep such matters secret for some time,
		priests	of the faith may gain a quick understanding of the lay of local
		landscape from talking to their neighborhood parish priest. There is a
		saying, "Remember that the pens of Deneir also have ears."

		The hierarchy of Deneir also provides scribes and will train nonbelievers of
		good and neutral alignments to read and write. While such scribes are very
		good, many rulers and mages have a feeling that the information they transcribe
		also finds its way to the church's secret libraries.

		Most large communities and temples of Deneir have secret libraries which
		may contain anything from a few tomes in the High Scrivener's office to
		(reputed) extensive underground vaults filled with the wisdom of the ages.
		Supposedly only	the highest levels of the priests have access to such huge
		vaults, which are, of course,  protected by powerful magical guards and wards.

	Requirements: Wisdom 15,  Intelligence 15

	Weapons Allowed: Any one-hannded weapons usable by clerics.

	Armor  Allowed: Banded armor, no shield

	Magical Items Allowed: As per clerics.

	Clerical Extras:
		Priests of Deneir gain a +4 on all saving throws vs damage and malicious
		effects	caused from books, scrolls, runes, and other magical writing,
		including the effects of curses and magical tomes handled by the wrong class.
		If no saving throw is normaly possible then a normal save is given.

		The Priests of this deity gain the ability to read languages just as a Bard
		of equal level. This ability can also be used when confrontged by a ward or
		runic symbol. In this case two attempts can be made, the first if succesful
		will tell the priest the type of person (Merchant, Ranger, Orc, etc...) that
		made the symbol, the second will give a general meaning of the rune or glyphs
		message. The success or failure of the second roll is independent of the first
		roll.

		These Priests also gain at 3rd level the ability to understand any spoken
		word as if they were using the Comprehend Languages spell.

	Clerical Limitations:
		Use die 6 for hit points
