God-talkers are holy people who talk to and about the
deities. They have a natural closeness to the immortals
and know how to maintain the sacred lifestyle. What they
know, they have learned from the community or, more often,
from their god.
Most god-talkers have an additional occupation, and officiate
only at specific rites during the year. A god-talker working
full time at the sacred tasks normally becomes a priest,
although that us as much a political occupation as it is a
magical one.

Priests are full-time workers for the gods. They are specialized
and unusual, with high status and many benefits.
