Description:

As servants of a Lesser Power, Bleredd's priests can cast up to 7th level spells, but not Quest spells.
In Bleredd's creed, the gifts of the earth exist to be taken and used to create practical works. Bleredd's followers are expected to be strong of body and will. Bleredd encourages the free flow of information; the knowledge of smithcraft should never be hoarded, but taught freely to anyone with a talent for it. Those who are miserly in sharing what they have learned ought to be punished.
Bleredd's priests often work closely with Ulaa's priests, as they commonly exist in similar communities.

Special Abilities:

Bleredd's priests can analyze the workmanship quality in metal goods. The priest will be able to tell whether a metal craft-good is of poor, average, or superior quality. This gives him a +2 to his Appraising proficiency check, if he has it.
Blerred's priests can pass, unharmed, through the wall of fire spell.
Blerred's priests can cast fear twice per day without material components, merely his holy symbol.
At 7th level, clerics gain the followers typical to a cleric. The followers consist of two 3rd level priests and four 1st level priests of the same order, one 3rd level fighter and seven 1st level fighters to act as temple guards, and twenty Normal Men and Women, each of whom has an appropriate and helpful nonweapon proficiency (especially Blacksmithing, Fire-building, Mining, and Reading/Writing). The priest may take the following on adventures: One priest, one fighter, and four Normal Men and Women of his choice. The priesthood will pay for half of the cost of stronghold construction at 7th level. The stronghold must be built with numerous smithies and workshops, enough at least for the priests who do metalwork, as well as the temple's Normal Men and Women.
