All | All [[clerics]] use a statue of a golden [[dragon]] as a focal point for worship and blessing. In temples, it is common practice for adherents to come to touch the statue of the great dragon and ask for guidance in difficult times. His clerics pray at least twice a day, both in the morning and in the evening. Their prayers are often straight and to the point when the path is already known. They often involve invoking particular aspects of the All-Seeing like the [[strength]] of their claws or the protection of their scales. | ||

Each person wears pure white robes and a symbol of the compass around their necks. During the service, clerics walk among the people and place a smear of mud over their heart and tear the left shoulder of their garment to symbolize the clothes worn by Arnuthen when he saved the people from the ancient enemy. Once that part of the service is done, people come forward to receive the blessing of the high justiciar and are given a brand new robe to place over their ruined one to symbolize a new beginning offered by Rofirein. This day is considered to be one of the faith's most holy days. | ||

Once every twenty-eight days, when | Once every twenty-eight days, when Ausir reaches its peak in the night sky, Rofirein's most devout followers pray to [[the All-Seeing]] as the great silver moon seems to feed the constellation with power, making it grow bright in the night sky. This is a time for quiet prayers and remembrance of the Lord Protector's care and love for the people. On these days, clergy often go out into the homes of the common people and distribute coins, food, and whatever aid they can. | ||
