Introduction to religions

Religion is a major part of life for all beings that call Astora home. When a player makes a new character, they may choose a Deity whom they worship. For some classes, such as the Cleric, this choice is mandatory, as their powers are from divine blessing. There is no wrong choice, and players may choose to engage with the religion mechanics as much or as little as they desire. There are Deities for all alignments, and some are more powerful than others. Characters may choose to pursue blessings from their chosen Deity, and in doing so receive special boons and gifts, and may even rise to be the head of their chosen religion, granting them a powerful relic of the Gods.
