Specialty Priests of Bried call themselves folk of the sword, they wear Iron and steel proudly and teach the secrets of smithing to all cultures with which they agree. It is a non-structured religion. The holy relic of Bried is a coin, with a forge on one side and a pen on the other. The Holy Symbol of Bried is a crossed sword and pen. Bried also has paladins, who have access to all the spheres specialty priests of Bried have instead of merely access to the combat, divination, healing, and protective spheres as other paladins have.  

Relationships with Other Priesthoods: The priests of Bried only tend to have problems with other religions along strict alignment lines
