*'''Barbarian''': Tribal nomadic bands of humans and half-orcs exist in the [[Ulan]] and small tribes of [[Wild Gnomes]] still roam the wilds of [[the Scar]] outside of what is generally regarded as civilization. Occasionally one of them may wind up as an adventurer. In addition most of "civilization" still has many people who may live hard or reckless lives along the edges of society. | *'''Barbarian''': Tribal nomadic bands of humans and half-orcs exist in the [[Ulan]] and small tribes of [[Wild Gnomes]] still roam the wilds of [[the Scar]] outside of what is generally regarded as civilization.

*'''Bard''': Bards exist in small numbers throughout the Mainland though mostly in the larger cities and among halflings they are fairly common. Many bards are self-taught or learned from only 1 or 2 teachers growing up, but formal training programs are also available and some states and other powers recruit and train bards to use as spies, diplomats, or other types of agents. | *'''Bard''': Bards exist in small numbers throughout the Mainland though mostly in the larger cities and among halflings they are fairly common.

*'''Cleric''': The [[Alexandrian Church | Alexandrian faith]] is the only organized religion of the Mainland and the option for PCs | *'''Cleric''': The [[Alexandrian Church | Alexandrian faith]] is the only organized religion of the Mainland and the sole option for PCs. Following the [[Calamity]] there are now many varied sects and [[Protest Stands | heterodox offshoots]] so being formally ordained by an accepted episcopacy and remaining in good standing with a central church authority is no longer required. The eastern Mainland nations including [[Gildenhome]] do still generally maintain a centralized system under an [[Arch-Warden]] but in the west or in the wilder areas smaller and fringe religious groups are more common and provide formal training and independent ordination/investiture of power for new clerics. Clerics can find many paths to follow and any subclass/domain is allowed though Knowledge, Life, and Order are the most common. | ||
**War: Some countries, most prominently [[Odessa]], train and ordain clerics as part of military units to provide both magical healing/support and destructive firepower. | **War: Some countries, most prominently [[Odessa]], train and ordain clerics as part of military units to provide both magical healing/support and destructive firepower. | ||
*'''[[Druid]]''': Druids are most common on the Mainland among the lizardfolk, wild gnomes, halflings, Ulani, and other less urban groups, but exist in smaller numbers across all nations. As in earlier periods druids are mostly small independent members of their society, though small regional circles or gatherings do occur and larger groups and networks of communication have been rumored to exist. Outside of the druids themselves most are unaware of these groups and their motives or actions. | *'''[[Druid]]''': Druids are most common on the Mainland among the lizardfolk, wild gnomes, halflings, Ulani, and other less urban groups, but exist in smaller numbers across all nations.
