Revision as of 17:54, 6 March 2013

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.

Consecrated Ground

These rituals can only be performed on consecrated ground, either in a church, chapel or other holy place, or in a room blessed with Meraud's commune.

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.
    • Syntax: 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.

Dance and Poetry

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.
  • RECITE a poem of sufficient length that mentions the neutral gods or other keywords such as praise, blessing(s), love or unity.
  • PLAY songs. Any song type will grant at least a small (static) amount of devotion now. The wedding, hymn, psalm, dirge, and requiem play styles will grant a larger amount of devotion, in order of difficulty.
    • Syntax is PLAY <style> ON <instrument> FOR <Immortal>
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!

Incense

Waving lit incense at a holy object. There is an associated dark-aligned ritual which requires specially prepared incense (see below).

  • Syntax: WAVE INCENSE AT <altar>
