Turning:

Priests of Nefeder are able to turn undead as normal priests but if they are carrying an item blessed by him, then the possessor is able to affect undead as one level higher.

Example: Josef a 5th-level follower of Nefeder is with his friends and they come upon a group of Ghouls. Since Josef has not completed his Quest of Light to receive his blessed items specifically from a Grand High Vicar yet, he must make a roll of 4 or better to turn them. Now if he had completed his Quest of Light and had received his lantern he would be able to automatically Turn them.

  Followers alignment: .Primarily Good   Notes & Remarks: .Paladins of Nefeder only suffer a minus 1 level penalty for turning undead after they complete their Quest for Light, until that time they are subject to the 2 level penalty. The Quest of Light is bestowed on either a priest or paladin prior to reaching 7th level. If they do not partake of this quest they cannot advance any further, they gain no further experience points and all spell advancement stops. This quest is bestow to where they are required to remove a curse from a place, a person, or even destroy a cursed item. They must do this purely on their own and with nothing more then faith to guide them. They can search, investigate, inquire but they must not ask for help or assistance in any way in completing their Quest of Light. However, they will not turn down help if it is offered, but they must be the one to complete the quest. If someone completes the quest the follower must begin anew and begin a new quest.
There is a faction of devout zealots that will only work while the sun is above the horizon
    Example: Enlightened Priest Jeofrey a level 8 cleric of Nefeder and his party stumbles into a den of a wraith, he is carrying the actual Lantern of Nefeder. Jeofrey, calls upon the light of Nefeder and the lantern illuminates a sphere of 80’. The wraith is 20’ away (the party failed it’s perception check) this would put the wraith 60’ into the sphere. That would also mean that instantly the wraith will take 6d10 damage and if that does not instantly destroy their foe, Jeofrey will still get a chance to make a roll to turn it. If it does not get turned and attempts to get closer (it’s really angry) by 10’ it would then take 7d10 damage.
