Clerics of the Order of the Holy Rest do not worship Crom. “Slumbers” know that he is a sleeping god and when he is stirred, times of great chaos and destruction follow. The order is dedicated to maintaining his slumber, which has been relatively undisturbed for the last 300 years.
They derive their daily blessings of spells and wisdom from their predecessors, the deceased heads of the Order, who have passed on to higher planes where they sit in council and reveal the Great Plan to keep Crom asleep. These revelations are officially sent only to the High Dreamer, who spends most of his time sleeping to receive instructions. The Order is not guided by any set of morals; the end justifies the means if it keeps Crom’s waking chaos below the Earth.
There are, from time to time, upstart prophets in the countryside and in the cities espousing the will of the Sleepers to the masses. Some of these heretics are known to go on noisome adventures, delving underground and risking a profound disturbance to Crom’s rest.
