{"name":"Adherent","overview":"You devoted yourself to furthering a singular focus in your\r\nlife, be it a faith, belief, or cause. In the service of a god,\r\npriests may have tasked you with daily prayers, holy rites,\r\nand the recitation of sacred scripture. As an adherent of a\r\nsecret society, you may have taken part in special initiations,\r\ncryptic ceremonies, or ritualistic sacrifice. Attending to\r\nthese exacting procedures has ingrained a sense of duty and\r\npurpose within you which only a few may understand.\r\n\r\nPerhaps you are a hopeful inductee into the clergy\r\nof a war god, a recently excommunicated priest of a\r\nfiend-worshipping sect, or a lifelong member of a secret\r\nsociety in which your \u201csiblings\u201d can be found across the\r\nglobe. No matter how you came to adventuring, you carry\r\nthe teachings and traditions of your devotion with you every\r\nstep of the way.","skillprof":"Choose two from History, Investigation, Religion, or Persuasion.

Those who roam often do so for reasons specific\r\nto their order. When you begin your adventures, consider\r\nwhat has tempted\u2014or called\u2014you to step away from the\r\nsafety of your order into the unknown.","table_data":"D8|ADVENTURING MOTIVATION\r\n1|Adventuring lets me test the limits of my devotion.\r\n2|Adventuring allows me to learn about and report on other religions and orders.\r\n3|Adventuring allows me to practice more unorthodox methods of worship.\r\n4|Adventuring is a way to find others sworn to my order.\r\n5|Adventuring allows me to share my faith with heretics, pagans, and the uninitiated.\r\n6|Adventuring brings glory and notoriety to my order.\r\n7|Adventuring furnishes me with the tithe my order deserves.\r\n8|Adventuring keeps me from being dragged back to the order from which I narrowly escaped.
