"Play Immediately" cards in character creation

Last night, of the initial eight cards I got, two were "play immediately" type cards. One was Horde (draw three treasure cards) and "Divine Intervention" (all clerics go up a level). I also had the Cleric class card, but the rules suggest I had to play the Divine Intervention card before I could play the cleric card. Is this correct? Is there a precedence to the order multiple "play immediately" cards should be played in character creation, if it matters?

We actually answer the Divine Intervention question in the FAQ:

A. The player should show the card immediately. All players who can become Clerics may choose to do so and go up a level. Once everyone is done, the card is discarded.

As for Hoard, that seems to be covered in the FAQ, too, in the underlined part:

A. Hoard says it must be played as soon as it is drawn. That means if you draw a card, and it's Hoard, it is played immediately. If you are dealt Hoard, play it as soon as you pick up your hand. Draw the three cards face-down.

So, as for priority: Neither card is in conflict with the other, so pick one and go first with it, then the other.

Thank you. My FAQ Fu was not working well.
