There is no organized church of Tohantas. Her worshippers have no need of organized temples or a hierarchy of leadership. Any person who feels the call to serve Tohantas as a priestmay do so, assuming they devote their lives to her cause. Her followers rarely concern themselves with buildings or specific liturgy, let alone "appropriate" robes, hats, or other religious paraphernalia often associated with other faiths. Shrines to Tohantas are usually built of wood, rather than stone, and roofed with leafy branches atop a latticed framework. They can be found nearly anywhere, from the dark depths of a forest to the middle of a cultivated field.

Tohantas is no fan of civilization encroaching into the wilds of nature, and a number of zealous Tohantan cults have devoted their efforts to destroying this encroachment. These cults, such as the Blood Talons, have often proven violent, unpredictable, and aggressive in their punitive activities. But most strive for a balance, despite population pressures that lead to too-heavy hunting or farming. More active members of the clergy work to redirect development and control populations through covert sponsorship of brigands, breeding and selective placing of predators, and other means to limit the growth of communities through peaceful ways.
