The Church of Lady of the Harvest is not structured in complicated pyramidal schemes where one person reports to a higher authority by filling in complicated forms that only lead to more headaches than any [[halfling]] should ever bother with. No. [[Prunilla]]'s faithful follow the halfling spirit to the [[core]].

No. [[Prunilla]]'s faithful follow the halfling spirit to the [[core]]. Since it has been ingrained for many ages, they will always say, "Life is simple, don't be tall about it." This, of course, is simply their view about themselves, for in their simple view of life, many misunderstandings are reached that have been known to end in epic-sized stories of the small-sized creatures. In reality, there are only two layers to the Church of Lady of the Harvest, the first being a Sapling and the second that of a Lucky Clover. | ||

The second and only other layer of Lady Comfort's church is that of the Lucky Clovers. The name is said to have originated from [[Deliar]]'s gift to Prunilla when he was courting her. As the story goes, the day Deliar proposed to Prunilla he was so nervous and jittery that in the moment he was presenting her with the ring, he stumbled and it dropped into a large clover patch. Not wanting to disappoint, he improvised a small ring from a wreath of the clovers and presented it as his band of union with her. Prunilla never bothered replacing the ring despite Deliar's constant showering of many presents, and it is said that the first priestess of Lady of the Harvest was poked on the nose with the ringed finger, granting her a gift for her devotion and a name for her people. | The second and only other layer of Lady Comfort's church is that of the Lucky Clovers.

Regardless of where the name came, Lucky Clovers never disappoint their namesake. If it is said that most halflings have luck on their backs. Many would argue that the Clovers are luck themselves, for in their tender touch, they seem to break all rules and bring to the world children who were never supposed to be born or save people from the strangest of ailments. When asked, they simply shrug and reply with their playful smirks saying, | Regardless of where the name came, Lucky Clovers never disappoint their namesake.

Lucky Clovers are respected in any halfling community they may be passing through. Many of them can easily claim that they brought the residents into this world or fed them when they were children. This motherly embrace is rarely forgotten and often grants them a place to stay wherever they roam. Of course, a meal prepared by a Lucky Clover is not easy to pass up; thus, adding to the leverage. Older Lucky Clovers often take on an apprentice to share all the [[wisdom]] they have gained through their lives. In their last years, they will make sure that a Sapling is at their side so that their last breath is captured and returned to the clans. In general, however, Lucky Clovers act as healers for their clans, midwives for those bearing child, tenders of the fields that many feed from, and soul for the race that never seems to lose its mirthful spirit. | Lucky Clovers are respected in any halfling community they may be passing through.

Lucky Clovers are equal to one another, none claiming to lead a particular region or clan, and simply enjoy Lady Comfort's gifts. There is one halfling though that stands as the primordial root to the many Clovers around the world. A halfling that, by defying the odds placed against her, is so close with Prunilla that her gift is made vivid with her touch.
