The act of Worship

Although the influence of the gods is not present in everyday life, the act of worship has become a prevalent experience. It is not uncommon for followers to make frequent pilgrimages to temples to ask the gods for assistance in their daily lives.   ~Sciorta the Storykeeper
 

Sarcool

  Most offerings to Sarcool, the God of Storms, are cast out to the wind. Devout followers of Sarcool seek out high peaks and cliffs as well as winds brought by a storm to present their offerings. Most temples to Sarcool are built to harness the wind creating an everlasting breeze to whisk away offerings.   The most common items offered to Sarcool are wheat and ash. An offering of wheat can act as a thanks to Sarcool for a good harvest. Conversely, a fistful of dry dirt can be a request for a storm in order to save a dying field. Many followers of Sarcool have their ashes cast to the wind to be returned to their god.  

Iactus

  Followers of Iactus, the God of Water, make their offerings during the tide in order for them to be pulled out to sea. It is not uncommon for small rafts to be constructed to hold the offering and allow it to be carried far away into the ocean.   Many sailors who follow Iactus distinguish the worship from landbound practitioners by casting their offerings to the ocean depths. A metal trinket prone to rust is cast off the side of the boat, the intentions of the offering carved into it. These offerings sink deep into Iactus’ realm to allow the ocean water to rust them away allowing them to become one with the sea.  

Famush

  Offerings to Famush, the God of Fire, seem simplistic to those outside of his religion. Most believe an offering cast into the flames is all that is necessary. However, due to the unstable temper of Famush followers must make their offerings with utmost precision. The length the fire has been burning, its temperature, and where the offering is placed in the flames are all taken into account.   Most temples to Famush have an eternal fire that is tended to by priests of the religion. This allows for the offerings made here to be seen in the light of a decade-long, or more, fire. Within these fires many treasures have been long buried in the ashes, destined to melt and stay molten until the end of time. These fires are the pillar of the religion and are closely guarded by its followers.
Although many religions worship their gods in different ways the most common religious practice is to make offerings to a god. The reasoning behind these offerings varies greatly from showing reverence to a deity to requesting aid from them. The objects offered to the gods can change the meaning of the offering greatly.
