His [[alignment]] is L++ (extremely lawful). His [[Angel|archangel]] is called Inlux. The Wise know that the [[World Map|world ]] is really a square pancake which He Valpurus carries on His back. This is why the Cathedral and the whole city of [[Attnam]] are dedicated to His worship. His alignment is L++ (extremely lawful)

Note that Valpurus is a busy god and does not respond well to ordinary mortals bothering Him with their prayers. You should only pray to Valpurus after being called becoming His champion. Offer sacrifices to Him until He declares you His champion, then it is safe to pray. Repeat this process after each prayer, as Valpurus is also a fickle god and his Championfavour does not last.  === Good Effects === When pleased, Valpurus will either give recognize you as his champion and grant you a sword and a shield of [[Valpuriumvalpurium]]:* [[valpurium]] Two-Handed [[SwordLarge swords|two-handed sword]] ([1500g, DAM 7-12, accurate, almost unbreakable) or a Valpurium ],* [[valpurium]] [[Shieldshield]] ([1050g, highly accurate, almost unbreakable)].  You hear a booming voice: "I RECOGNIZETH THEE AS MINE OWN CHAMPION! JOURNEY FORTH WITH THESE ARMAMENTS TO DEFEAT MORTIFER AND ALL THE CHAOS HE HADST SOWN!" A set of holy arms appear from nothing. Subsequent prayers will get you a [[Holy Handgrenade of Antioch]] each. He  As all gods, Valpurus may also send an grant you a temporary [[pet]] [[Angelangel]]. Note that no matter how high is your favour with Valpurus, but unlike the other gods he will not send summon his archangel Inlux, since Inlux she is in the service of the [[Attnam|Cathedral]]. Valpurus will also not regrow your lost limbs. === Bad Effects === When angry, Valpurus smites you with a small hammer, doing direct damage to your head.
