Chauntea's church has two wings: standard clerics who minister to the faithful in towns, cities, and civilized areas, and druids who work in more outlying regions. With the success of the town priests, the druids have been moving farther and farther afield. The relationship between the druids, who call themselves "True Clerics of Chauntea," and the more civilized clerics is cordial, but at times strained. The druids have always venerated Chauntea, and consider the more recent city disciples to be upstarts. The more civilized priests, in turn, feel that the druids' day is done, and while druids are still useful in wild lands, the rising nations need and organized, professional faith controlled by a more reasonable and rational clergy. The percentage breakdown of clerics and druids in the clergy is about 40% clerics and 50% druids. Mystics and shamans, who work alone outside of either wing of the church and report only to She Who Shapes All herself, comprise only 5% of the priesthood together, and monks, who are always allied to a particular temple or druidic circle's leader, round out the remaining 5%.

She carries runes around and uses them to channel natural power, and her communion with nature allows her to shift forms and call upon the aid of an animal companion.

Regardless of runes, place magic and so on, I think druids on Amia still need a deity to get spells from, no matter what, correct?

Anyway, I have a character who is a priest of Chauntea as well, been looking for other followers.

The religious foundation of the Moonshae
Isles is predicated upon a worship
of the land itself. This belief, originated
and primarily held by the Ffolk, has
resulted in a conception of their goddess
as the earthmother. The belief
holds that the goddess is not a humanshaped,
or otherwise mortal-imitating
being; but is rather the hills and moors
and marshes and seas of the world.
Central to this belief is the purity of
the land. The antithesis of the goddess
is, naturally, the threat of corruption,
perversion, or pollution of the land.
The goddess is a neutral deity, recognizing
that both good and evil have a place
in the world. Her strength derives from
a Balance of these extremes. Her enemies
are not only those evil ones who
would extinguish life casually and frequently,
or maliciously bring destruction
upon her. She is also threatened by
those who preach a doctrine of complete
peace, or practice the science of
bringing the land under the control of
its human caretakers, threaten to push
the Balance too far in the other direction.

---

And the clerics of the new gods
threaten the Balance as well, with their
words of good and peace and mastery
over nature. Peace is a benign blessing,
but is the natural state of the goddess,
and when this peace must be accompanied
by mastery of the land, as the clerics
preach, the power of the mother can
only wane

---

The goddess of the Moonshaes is an
aspect of the benign goddess Chauntea
(Chawn—TEE—ah), who is worshiped
throughout the Realms as the neutral
good goddess of agriculture. As she is
worshiped in the Moonshaes, however,
her aspect is shaped differently than it
is in any other part of the Realms.
Where Chauntea is generally worshiped
as a goddess of agriculture, the
earthmother is much more a goddess of
nature. Agriculture as an aspect of nature
she regards kindly, but agriculture as
an attempt to master the land becomes a
grave threat to her existence.
