Divine favor

Divine Favor

        Divine Favor (DF for short) represents your relation to your
        elemental god. If you have enough DF points, your elemental god
        will grant you blessings at the local temple.

        See 'help blessing' for more information about those.

        Even though other ways exists, the most common way of gaining DF is to
        sacrifice things to your god. They accept all valuable objects gladly,
        but they specially like the hearts of living beings.

        These hearts are known to hold elemental powers of the living creature.
        Every being has divine powers, though most of them are hidden. Only
        trained priests are able to harness this power. These powers are
        all in the heart, that's why they are valuable gifts to your god.

        To be able to perform the necessary rituals for sacrificing, you have
        to be at an altar. There are altars all around the Icesus valley,
        though most of them are located in, or near, the main cities. The
        power of an altar, and therefore the benefit from sacrificing, varies
        depending on the holiness of the altar. An altar dedicated to all
        elements is less powerful as one dedicated to single element, not to
        mention the main altar of a certain element.

        You can find altars dedicated to all elements in some cities, but not
        all of them. Shrines containing an altar of a single element can be
        found in the wilderness around the city of Vaerlon. The main altars
        are located in the main temples scattered across the Icesus valley;
        One of them, Air, is located inside the city of Vaerlon, others I
        leave for you to find.

        Permanent Divine Favor (PDF) points are awarded by admins for
        doing something good, for example finding a major bug and reporting
        it immediately. PDF is also awarded to people who support our

        are no ways of transfering PDF to another character or person. If
        the character is removed the PDF is gone for good.
