I keep wandering into this thread, looking to see who was joining, and wondering how a cleric might survive in such a world. This is what I've come up with... Even in a remote town, some families lived even farther on the fringe, distance and isolation keeping them far hidden from the dark things. A small shrine, well hidden in a holy grove which dark things unconsciously avoided. Only a few families knew of its location and they never gathered in numbers. Each newly born member, brought to the shrine at the age of one, during the longest day of the year as the sun was at its brightest - to gain the blessing of the light.
Families living as hunters and herbalist, trading with the town infrequently. Secrets of faith taught only in whispers and only during the brightest of daylight. The old ways of faith passed from generation to generation, quietly.
But even in this, no one had been touched by the goddess in generations... until now.

Might be an interesting background for ranger/cleric style character - either multi class or full cleric. Hermit background. Herbalist, healer, archer.
Does that fit into your lore and starting town?
