The Norse Gods

Every character chooses a patron from the Norse pantheon at the gates. You can choose Nobody instead and explain that to Odin later.

What worship does

  • score and your prompt can show your patron. Some divine spells check this choice.
  • sacrifice sends the gold value of corpses and cast-offs to your patron. DI clan altars use the same ritual.
  • Changing your mind costs 650 quest points at the questmaster.
  • gods lists each deity's mortal following; pray carries words upward (in practice, to the immortal staff).

Blessings for sale, and curses

Distorted Illusions and v3.1 have priests on both sides of the moral line. At a good priest, repentcan move your alignment toward the light for 50 gold, grant Odin's blessing, or lift a voodoo curse for one platinum. At a dark altar, curse grants Hel's blessing and pushes your alignment toward evil. The priest refuses the pure of heart. Between them sit the voodoo dolls: a level-20 command that lets a player torment a named victim from anywhere in the world, until a priest of either persuasion is paid to make it stop.

Weddings

Marriage is ceremonial and officiated by an immortal. The weddings board carries announcements, and the staff grants posting rights to the couple.
