Priests of Nethlar, called Lore Bringers, are great collectors and storers of Knowledge. They are adept at storytelling (but not necessarily entertainment) and will freely share most of the less arcane knowledge that they have gained. Their duties include serving for 3 weeks a year at any shrine to temple as a Scribe (this includes adventuring Priests), and is done as a gesture of faith and an act of penance for any sins they may have committed in the past year. Before becoming a Priest of Nethlar, an individual must spend one year as a Temple Scribe in order to show his

dedication to the faith and be in an environment of learning. Temples to Nethlar are called Libraries, and are decorated as such, with fewer religious trappings than other temples. Written materials are not collected at shrines.
