Category:Prayer Parchments: Difference between revisions

Prayer parchments have holy prayers written on them. Clerics read them to raise devotion and to learn Theurgy and scholarship.

Usage

• UNROLL PARCHMENT: Unrolls a parchment so that it can be read.
• ROLL PARCHMENT: Rolls up the parchment so that it can be stowed.
• READ PARCHMENT: Reads the prayer quietly to yourself to raise devotion.
• INVOKE PARCHMENT: Preaches the prayer to other people in the room to raise devotion.

Storage

There are two types of storage containers that are associated with prayer parchments, prayer tomes and specialty containers.

Prayer Tomes

Prayer tomes behave like a compendium for anatomy charts. You put prayer parchments in them, but the parchment cannot be removed. The trade-off is that the parchments in the tome don't increase the tome's weight and don't contribute to your item count. These have traditionally been sold at Misenseor Goods during Hollow Eve Festival.

Usage

• STUDY: You think you can PUT prayer parchments in the tome, KISS it, TURN it to a page, or READ it quietly.
• OPEN: Opens tome so that you can put parchments in it, turn to pages, and read prayers.
• CLOSE: Closes tome for safekeeping.
• KISS: This is a ritual to raise devotion by showing humility by kissing the tome.
• TURN TOME TO PAGE #: Turns to a specific prayer to read or invoke.
• READ: Lists the pages and names of the prayers in the tome. Or, if you've turned to a specific page, then reads that prayer quietly to yourself and to learn Theurgy and scholarship.
• INVOKE: This is a ritual to raise devotion by preaching the prayer to other people in the room.

Put parchment in tome

1. OPEN TOME
2. TURN TOME (returns to table of contents and readies tome to receive parchments)
3. UNROLL PARCHMENT
4. PUT PARCHMENT IN TOME (this takes about 10-20 seconds RT)

Read parchment in tome

1. TURN TOME TO PAGE #
2. READ TOME (this takes about 30 seconds RT)

Specialty Containers

These containers can only hold prayer parchments. And like a typical backpack or satchel, these can be opened and closed, they have dimensions and capacity, and may be worn. You put parchments in the container for safekeeping, and get them back out when you want to use them. The total weight and item count of the container increases as you put parchments in them.

Examples include the parchment cases, parchment satchels, and parchment coffers sold at Scriptorium in Crossing.
