PRAYERS & FAVORS

[basythiamods]

PRAYER is the primary method by which the corruption is purified. Prayer can be invoked anywhere within Basythia simply by uttering the god's name and harboring the intent to pray to them, though it must align with their realm of control in order for it to reach them. For example, one would not hold a prayer to The Nine Faces for protection while exploring a flooded area, as this would fall under The Silent River's purview. Gods will also have specific methods of prayer tailored to them, that others may be called to join. Holding group prayers will multiply purity per character that engages with it.

Prayer may be held individually or as a group, but must always be "on-screen" for the purposes of the game. Personal purity is tracked by the player on a "I trust you not to go nuts" basis, teamwide purity will be tracked by the mods ! HERE ! for the purposes of purifying things related to the gods or the city at large.

FAVORS are personal mini-quests or tasks given to individuals or small groups for the purposes of requesting something specific of the gods. Prayers can be invoked while a character completes a "favor" task but is not required as the favor itself is already a direct request from one of the gods. This is the method one would use to obtain individual items, such as personal clothing, specialized food or toiletries, toys, games, weapons, and small furniture. Larger requests can be made with larger groups of people, for things such as furnishing whole rooms or more difficult requests such as healing.

i will clean this up/edit into post later. but for the moment so folks can access the info:

VALID PRAYERS:

ANYTHING related to that gods’ specific area of oversight. Their name must be invoked in full, for example:

The Nine Faces, in your name I pray.

A longer and more specific prayer will generate more purity. Invoking multiple gods at once in the same prayer will not.

SERMONS are group efforts that invite others of other congregations to join you in enhancing the purification of a prayer to one of the gods. Sermons can be called under the congregations’ gods for the following tasks or symbolism:

-The nine faces: gambling, performance, curses
-The silent river: water play/games, agricultural/plant growth, life/liveliness
-The bleeding heart: sacrifice, hunting, public displays of love
-The loyal guardian: protection, justice/retribution, comfort
-The scaled mirror: artistry/creativity, judgement, luck
-The golden wings: food, travel, novel experience
