Clerics have access to a plethora of rituals they can perform to please -- or appease -- the gods. Rituals primarily sustain Devotion in order to power the Communes. This is the standard message for a successfully completed ritual, regardless of any devotion gain:
- You sense that you are as pure of spirit as you can be, and you are ready for whatever rituals might face you.
Non-aligned rituals
The vast majority of the rituals fall under this category. They aren't all necessarily 'neutral' rituals, but they display the devotion gain message of neutral rituals:
- You feel that your gods have smiled upon you for your attempts to please them.
Most of these non-aligned rituals have a ten (10) minute timer for devotion gain.
Consecrated ground
These rituals can be performed on consecrated ground; either in a church, chapel or other holy place or in a room blessed with Meraud's commune. Some can also be performed using a devotional prayer mat in unconsecrated rooms.
Acts of humility
One who shows their humble desire to please the gods may learn that kneeling and praising the statue of a god of good standing will cause them to achieve some minor attention of the gods.
- In a room with a holy object such as an altar, statue, or prayer mat, kneel and kiss the object.
- KISS <OBJECT> (while kneeling)
Offerings of sacred wine
Offering the wine of the gods unto them by pouring it unto their altar can bring about their pleasure.
- POUR sacramental wine, deep red wine, or blessed sacramental wine onto an altar or prayer mat.
- Note: You may also cast bless on wine from taverns, bars and other non-sanctified sources to sanctify it for purposes of ritual use.[1]
- POUR WINE ON <ALTAR/MAT/RUG> (sans altar a devotional prayer mat or rug is required)
Dance
The gods are delighted by the dancing and recitation of their priests, and may grant their grace to those who do honor them in such ways.
- DANCE three times in a consecrated room.
- DANCE <MAT/RUG> (using a devotional prayer mat)
Poetry
- RECITE a poem of sufficient length that mentions the neutral gods or other keywords such as praise, blessing(s), love or unity.
Songs of Devotion
- PLAY <SONG> <STYLE> ON <INSTRUMENT> FOR <IMMORTAL>
Any song type will grant at least a small (static) amount of devotion. Songs played in off-key and halting moods do not grant devotion.
Depending on the difficulty of your instrument you can expect to begin gaining devotion between 30 and 40 ranks Performance skill.
- Wedding and hymns grant a nice devotional boost at 100+ performance skill ranks.
- Psalms and dirges grant a nicer devotional boost.
- Requiems have a (relatively) really nice devotional boost.
There is no timer on devotional gain for playing devotional songs. (Does not appear to be correct as of 5/20/2022)
Menial humility
Cleaning the altars of the gods can bring a kind smile from those who watch over the altars. Of course, one cannot use just any water to wash these altars, for to otherwise is sacrilege unto the sacred and profane!
- CLEAN ALTAR WITH holy water
- Neutral and dark Immortal aligned altars get dirty over time and must be cleaned before use in rituals. Clerics can clean both dirty and clean altars for devotion. Non-Clerics may also clean altars, provided they have holy water.
Incense
Waving lit incense at a holy object. There is an associated dark-aligned ritual that requires specially prepared incense (see below).
- See flints for information regarding lighting fires with flint.
Offering of destroyed undead
Offering the skin, hide, or pelt of an undead or cursed beast will grant a small amount of devotion. The beast must have been a challenge to your own skills. Note that not all skin types are currently supported.
Last rites
Must be performed on consecrated ground. Skinning or looting the creature before doing this will prevent this from working. Does not work on undead or cursed creatures.
- PRAY <DEAD CREATURE>
Miscellaneous
These rituals may be done anywhere, but may still require certain objects, personal or otherwise, to perform.
Visitation of shrine
Visitation of shrines is recommended, if for no other reason than to become acquainted with those whom you serve. Use a pilgrim's badge to record your pilgrimage.
- You must first KISS the badge to align it to yourself. Once aligned, you may begin your pilgrimage.
- When visiting supported shrines and other holy places, you must align your badge with the shrine by PUSHing it to the badge.
- Once your badge is aligned with one or more shrines, you may reflect upon your pilgrimage by PRAYing on your badge.
Praying on a pilgrim's badge has an eighty (80) minute timer for devotion gain.
Release from greed
Tithing in almsboxes is encouraged. Greater tithes yield greater improvements in Soul State for Paladins and Devotion for Clerics.
- PUT <#> <DENOMINATION> <CURRENCY> IN ALMSBOX
- example: PUT 5 SILVER KRONAR IN ALMSBOX
Tithing has a ten (10) minute timer for devotion gain.
Releasing the undead
- Killing undead creatures that challenge you will randomly grant a small amount of devotion[2].
- If successful, you'll receive the messaging:
- A warm feeling of serenity and approval washes over you, and you sense that the Immortals are pleased with your efforts to eradicate the accursed legions from Elanthia.
Planting of sirese
Sirese is the flower of the Cleric. Do all that you can to ensure its spread.
- You must first gather a sirese seed. You can generally find them in a room with sirese in the room description (there is a list of rooms on the sirese seed page). It may take a few tries before you succeed in getting a seed. After you've obtained your seed, you'll need to carry it to a suitable location for planting. Suitable locations are widely varied, you only need to consider finding a place that appears good for growing things (examples: gardens, woodlands, grassy areas, etc). Once you find a likely spot, simply plant the seed and encourage it to grow by sprinkling holy water on it.
Planting Sirese has an eighty (80) minute timer for devotion gain.
The holy bath
Chamomile, sage, or lavender can be rubbed into the skin while inside a devotional bath. Only two of the three herbs listed are required per session.

There are pots that can be filled with water from the nearby stream (FILL POT WITH STREAM). The water must then be blessed (CAST WATER IN POT) and poured into the bath (POUR POT INTO BATH). Filling the bath will also grant a small amount of devotion.
- Note that the Halasa Temple on Tethloren Island in Aesry requires renting currachs which are not accessible to Free accounts characters.
