There are a number of ways in which the character can interact with Gods. You can gain knowledge of a god by visiting the god's altar, or reading the god's [[Book]]. Praying to [[Mellis]] will sometimes result in Mellis sharing knowledge of a certain god that you have not yet encountered. Reading the book of a certain God will also raise your relation with that god, and to a lesser extent your relation with other gods of a similar alignment. {{spoiler}}
'''Praying''' to a god will have a reward if you Gods are in good relation with that god, ancient entities of world-changing powers - and will slightly increase your [[Wis|wisdom]]. It will have you can gain access to a negative effect if you are not in good standing with that god, or sliver of their might if you pray too often. You may only pray to gods that you have knowledge ofcan win their favour.
'''Offering''' sacrifices to a god will raise your relationship with that god slightly. There are certain items which Gods prefer, which will raise your relationship more than others (as noted by the god thanking you for your "generous offer")
Prayer timer is exactly 150 minutes.
== Worship ==
=== Prayers ===
You cannot contact any god unless you know the right rituals - learn the rituals by visiting an [[altar]] of given deity or by reading his or her [[Books|holy book]]. Praying to [[Mellis]] may also result in Mellis sharing knowledge with you of a god you have not encountered yet.
Reading the holy book or praying to a certain god will raise your relation with that god and also shift your [[Alignment]] closer to the god's. Deities of similar alignment will also be slighlty pleased.
The increase in favour is proportionate to the alignment similarity: If you pray to [[Atavus]] (L+), [[Legifer]] (also L+) will be pleased nearly as much as Atavus, while [[Valpurus]] (L++) and gods of lawful (L) alignment will be also pleased. [[Sophos]] (L-) would not care (no change in relationship) and gods of greater alignment differences will be increasingly displeased, so it is best to pick a handful of similarly aligned gods to pray to. Note that praying to Valpurus (L++) will make Sophos (L-) slightly angry, as the alignment difference is too large.
Praying to any god will have a reward if you have good relationship with that god, and will slightly increase your [[wisdom]]. Although each god has a different prayer effect, most will summon new limbs if you are missing one and may summon a [[Pets|pet]] [[Angel]] or their personal archangel for you. Praying will have a negative effect if you are not in good standing with the god or if you pray too often - if you receive a positive reaction, it should be safe to pray again in two hours, 30 minutes. In the event of a negative reaction, the cooldown time is generally at least twice as long.<br>
All gods also have a small chance to summon any item aligned with them for you.
Beware that [[Valpurus]] and [[Mortifer]] have different praying mechanics - do not pray to then the first time you learn the right rituals! See ''Becoming the Champion'' section below for more details on how to please them.
=== Sacrifices ===
Offering sacrifices at an altar will raise your relationship with that deity. There are certain [[items]] and [[materials]] for each god which they prefer, those will raise your relationship more than others (as noted by the god thanking you for your "generous offer").

== Trivia ==
* Using a [[Wand of Polymorph]] on any [[Altar]] will [[Polymorph|change]] it into an altar of a different god; this does not affect your relationship with the first deity.
* The gods changed a lot over development, with many changing names and powers. See [[Old Gods]].
