Devotion & Subclass

Subclass Restrictions. As a Cleric, you may only choose from Divine Domains (subclasses) your deity has available. You may be a Cleric that does not follow a deity ("Faithless") and you can choose any Divine Domain you want, but it is assumed then that you derive your powers from Polaris. Whether or not you choose to earn Piety with Polaris though, is entirely up to you.
Level 1 Cleric. Upon gaining your first Cleric level, you gain 2 Piety with your deity. This should grant you your deity's Lip Service benefit.
Devotion. Your patron requires devotion to their cause, and to deny them their due or worse, to actively act against them, will halt your progress as a cleric or warlock under that specific patron.

Clerics are conduits of Divine power; they are faucets to their deity’s reservoir. As such, a cleric without a deity is useless. Provided you follow your deity’s tenets and stay devoted, there won’t be any issues. But if you start to waver, the warning signs will be there. Should you lose favor with your deity, subject to GM discretion, you lose access to all features granted to you by the cleric class and your chosen cleric subclass. You and your GM will then have to discuss how to move forward.
