Notable Clergy and their Churches
Along the same lines as the 'Mages of Note' post, I'd like to open up a discussion on the who's-who of clergy in and around the Sword Coast. For this list, I will break it up by god, and then if necessary by Shrine/Temple/Church location.
I think this list will be helpful in keeping the PCs in the backdrop of a living world, and will give some of those that put points in Lore skills something to be familiar with more so than others.
Once again with this thread, please nominate your characters (or others) that may be "well known" publically as clergy (not lay people) of any particular god. Please include name, god affiliated, and a particular location if applicable.
Hopefully it will work as smoothly as the other.
Thanks!
Lathander:
Eldarian Al'maire - Knight Commander of Templars
Beregost:
Neschera - Dawnpriest
Ilmater:
Ameris Santraeger
Merielle - The Living Saint (left for Amn)
Bane:
Kagger

Re: Notable Clergy and their Churches
The few off the top of my head that are likely active:
Lathander
Mystra
Gond
I would list out Bane and Shar here as I am sure there are some active players, but they don't always want to come out and be listed, and they likely wouldn't be "common knowledge" anyway.
I can probably mine out some names from these churches based on forums, but if anyone has ideas that would be great.

Re: Notable Clergy and their Churches
Is this clergy only, or is it paladins/favoured souls/ other divine characters?
For Clergy:
Aeili Azenci - Priestess of Mystra and Cleric (also formerly of the Weavemasters)
Alesea Abbot - Dawnbringer of Lathander (Beregost only?)
Some other prominent priests who I am not sure are still active include:
Tegeus Cromis - Doombringer of Hoar (Baldur's Gate)
Cara Joriani - Scriviner of Jergal, formlery of Myrkul (Baldur's Gate, the North)
Verith Skryle - Priest of Myrkul (the North?)

Re: Notable Clergy and their Churches
Besides what's already been listed I would add the following
Ilmater:
Abby Winters (best healer ever! EVER!)
Lathander:
Tolan Faeglin (sp.?)
Elistraee: (not widely known, perhaps, but known enough)
Rilae'ar'an
Auril:
Irini Iceheart
Also, while not technically clergy there are several well-known paladin types.
Paladins of Torm:
Sir Jonas Rokranon (Order of the Radiant Heart)
Paladins of Helm:
Arkaine Half-Orken (ORH)
Sveta Asperan
Paladins of Lathander:
Cecilia Lafayette (ex-Tyrran? & ORH)
Known Fallen Paladins:
Valiant Blincraft (ex-Tormite?)
Eleanor (ex-Tyrran?)
These are names that jump out the most in my memory.

Re: Notable Clergy and their Churches
Lucy Heartfilia is the most famous cleric of the Red Knight I know of. Sadly, this is exactly how she went out:
I'd only ever had one real RP scene with her
