Character Creation (cont.)

Promotion
Priest: Becoming a priest means moving up to master level in your spell skills and also gaining additional hit points and spell points. If you don't get promoted, you can't bring your spell skills to master level, when they really start becoming useful. To get promoted to a priest, go talk to Daedalus Falk in Deyja. He will tell you that he can promote you if you find for him a map of Evenmorn Island, which is off the southern coast of the Erathian continent. Many ships in various towns have wanted to travel to this shrouded island, but none can do so because of dangerous reefs along the way. A map is needed to reveal the best path to this island. If you can find the map and bring it to Falk, he will promote you. The map to Evenmorn lies in the pirates' hideout in Tatalia. The Tidewater Caverns exist on an island in the very western part of Tatalia, off the shore of the mainland. You must get there via water walking or flying. Once there, you'll face thieves, master thieves, shades, ghosts, and skeletons. The map lies behind a secret door in the hull of a beached ship, so make sure you have a party member with high perception skills, or you could get turned away in frustration. Once you recover the map, return to Falk to become a priest.

Priest of Light: The priest of light is the final rank for the good cleric. This promotion gives you more hit and spell points and lets you go to grandmaster level in the self magic schools. To get the promotion quest, you must speak to Rebecca Devine in Celeste. She tells you to go to the Grand Temple of the Moon in Evenmorn and purify its defiled altar. To do that, take the boat to Evenmorn from Avlee, Erathia, or the Tularean Forest. Those are the only ports from which ships go to Evenmorn. When you arrive in Evenmorn, go to the Grand Temple of the Moon in the middle of the island. Inside are wights and clerics of the moon. When you go inside the temple, to the left will be a trap door to watch out for. To purify the altar inside, just click on it and return to Rebecca to get promoted.

Priest of Dark: If you joined the dark side, Daedalus Falk in Deyja will promote you to the priest of dark if you complete his quest. You'll definitely want to do this because by becoming a priest of dark, you can learn to cast dark magic and become a grandmaster in your spell skills. Falk asks you to go to Evenmorn Island and defile the Grand Temple of the Sun there. Wait until Sunday, then go to a ship in Avlee, Erathia, or the Tularean Forest. When you get there, go to the temple in the northwest, which is infested with ghosts, gargoyles, and skeletons. Clerics and monks of the sun guard the inner sanctum of this temple, but once you get past them, you will find the altar. Simply click on it to defile it (the altar top will turn black to signify defilement) and return to Falk for promotion.
