-=[ Sorital Guild ]=-

The Sorital are the powerful mage/clerics of the fabled city of
Xanadu. Their purpose in life is to protect their city and others
from the forces of darkness. To this end, they have many archane
powers at their disposal. Sorital, by their nature, work for the
forces of light and good. As such they are expected to remain in
good alignment and follow a creed like their warrior cousins the
Paladins.

Sorital Creed
-------------

Work only for the forces of good and use your powers against
evil. Be above anger when in peace or battle. Do not let your
temper move your to dishonorable or shameful acts.

Behave at all times in a respectful and courteous manner even
to those that displease you. Treat others kindly. Interact
with those around you in a kind manner always keeping your
responsibilities as a Sorital in mind.

Offer assistance when a player appears to need it. Do not
refuse a request for assistance unless the request is beyond
your skills or when the request is made by a dishonorable
soul. Helping dishonorable people who have wandered to the
path of darkness is not forbidden. However, the first duty
of the Sorital is to protect from darkness.

Sorital Races
-------------

Sorital are only humans, halflings, half elves, dwarves and
gnomes as the halfling residents of Xanadu are wary of many
outsiders. Sorital gain a mid level of 9 hp per constitution.

Sorital Benefits

a coder for Xanadu asking for the outer room of their private study
