Offering

Offerings are the major way in which you as a devoted follower may gain Your Order Shrine energy. Many things that an Order might do cost it energy. In order to replenish shrine energy, you must first find a location in which a shrine to that God has been erected.

Once you have done that, you must find something to offer. You may only offer corpses of once-living things. Simply type OFFER <offering> and you will send your offering winging its way to both your beloved Patron, who will be notified of your offering and their divine Order.

Shrines

As you wander about the land, you will undoubtedly encounter shrines to various Gods. These shrines have been erected by highly-ranked followers of Gods as testaments to the glory of their God or Goddess, and in order to provide more offering points for followers.

Those who have attained a certain rank or higher in an Order may ERECT SHRINE. This will take approximately ten seconds and raise a shrine, during which you may not do anything else. It will also sap a quarter of both your endurance and willpower. It should be noted that shrines may not be placed closer than two locations away from each other and that each order may only have two shrines in each area.

If you wish to help strengthen a shrine, you will do OFFER <offering> TO SANCTIFY, while if you wish to harm a shrine, you will OFFER <offering> TO DEFILE. In both of these cases, the God's essence or Order shrine energy will not be affected. Keep in mind that if you choose to defile, you will be tainted with a palpably tainted aura and the God or their followers may find this highly offensive and pursue you for it.
