There's little to no organized Church left of this old deity and that which remains is mostly spread throughout the uncivilized lands. Members of the faith can be petitioned for a blessing in exchange for resources but never wealth. Followers of Drulanar are most welcome in small villages who take little from the land. In cities however they are eyed suspiciously by citizen and guard alike.
Clergy
The majority of Drulanar's clergy consist of Druids, Rangers, and some Barbarian tribes. There are few Clerics and only a handful of Paladins. Many of the clergy spend their time in a specific area, guarding it from those who would damage its natural balance. While few live within communities acting as advisors for community leaders as to how they may act within the tenets of Drulanar. Common times of prayer are during high and low tide.
Temples & Shrines
There are few temples built to honor Drulanar and those that do exist are almost exclusively in remote undeveloped lands. Some nature conscious communities however do build shrines to the god as a way to remind themselves to keep the balance. The temples that do exist are built into naturally occurring enclosed structures and caverns.
