  The Money Counter’s faithful do not want their influence in all things.  They want their influence in all 
  things that can gain them prestige and power.  Making large financial gains are important, but the church 
  would much rather experience a moderate monetary gain accompanied by heightened prestige or favors owed.  
  It is better to have someone of power owe the church over a long period of time than pay them off with lump 
  sums of gold. “In the world of men, the desire for money can be overwhelming. Control that desire in yourself 
  and exploit it in others - that is the key to success and power. Anything done in the world can be better done for 
  profit, and those who recognize these opportunities are one step ahead of any competition.” 
  Entry Requirements:  
  Region: Must be a resident of Verbobonc 
  Deity: Must have Zilchus as patron deity. 
  Special:  While the Church of Zilchus accepts all that 
  revere the Money Counter, only those that receive 
  divine spells or abilities from Zilchus are eligible to rise 
  above the rank of Bookkeeper  
  Titles, Benefits, and Duties: As you advance in the 
  Church of Zilchus, you learn to win converts and spread
