Editing Mannus (section)

==Priesthood==
[[Cleric]]s of Mannus are the inspirational personages within their community, advising people to further their goals and improve their standards of living. They are not afraid to argue for war to achieve this, and that means they are occasionally at odds with the clerics of the goddesses [[Nerthus]] and [[Eostre]], who oppose this ideology. Despite this, they always command great respect, and are invariably busy; driving themselves and their communities to better and bolder achievements fills most of their time. They teach that people always should always set ever-higher goals for themselves, preaching that Mannus will guide and protect only those who aim the highest.
