Worship provides many bonuses to the player. The Gods of Elin each have their own domains and relationships with each other.

Bonuses from worship scale with how long you have been worshipping the deity in question, as well as your favor with him or her.

Special actions granted by worship cost stamina to activate.

Praying

The player may pray to their god once a day. Praying completely heals the player's HP and MP, in addition to training faith and a relevant stat a small amount (speed for Lulwy). Unlike in Elona, it does not cost favor.

Offerings and Favor

The player may offer an item as an offering by highlighting an altar of their god and selecting the "offer" option, or directly placing the item on the altar.

While all the gods of Ylva accept corpses as offerings, each also accepts other items. Heavier corpses and more valuable offerings grant more favor. Gifting offerings also trains the player's faith.

Unlike in Elona, gods do not appear to have favored offerings amongst those they accept. Instead, particularly valuable offerings will provoke the same response from the player's worshipped deity that was reserved for favored offerings in Elona.

A stack of items can be offered all at once; it will count as a single offering with the combined weight/value of the entire stack.

Offering an item on an altar not of one's god will attempt to claim the altar for the player's god. The success chance is dependent on the offering's favor gain. Failure will result in punishment. Attempts to convert altars dedicated to Eyth will never fail as the altar is considered empty. Special altars like Mani's machine altar in Aqui Teola and Kizuami and Horome's shrines in Mifu Village cannot be converted.

Favor can be exchanged for goods and services. When the player has acquired enough piety by making offerings, praying will deliver a reward.

Rewards

Pets

The first reward a god offers will be a pet. This follower will be of the apostle race, and always has the faith of its respective god. They are all considered good for riding.

While you can collect followers from different gods, attempting to put more than two in a party together will cause infighting amongst the different apostles, which practically speaking means you can only ever use two at a time at most.

Blessing

Obtaining a pot of water and placing it on the altar of one's god (Eyth included) will bless the water. The blessed water can then be blended with an item to bless it.

Placing water on an altar of a god one is not aligned with will curse it instead, and the cursed water can be blended with an item to curse it.

Relation

Gods begin the game indifferent to the player. The relation value can be negative or positive. Turning apostate from one god to the other reduces relation by a small amount from the god one is forsaking, but has no change in relation for the god of new worship. Certain actions seem to passively change the relation with gods, but offerings change relation more actively.

Attempting to convert an altar and failing (200 turns) or turning apostate (length dependent on previous degree of worship) hexes the player with a Punishment Hex which places an iron ball in their inventory that cannot be dropped, burdening the player. The weight of this ball is variable and scales with the player's carrying capacity.

The Pantheon

The Seven Pillars

The chief deities of Ylva: Itzpalt, Opatos, Kumiromi, Jure, Lulwy, Ehekatl and Mani (formerly Eyth). They govern large domains that impact the daily lives of Ylva's population and command most of the worship to be had.

Major Gods

Major deities of the pantheon. While not as prominent as the Seven Pillars, they hold sway over sizeable domains and have a good number of followers.

Examples of major gods are Elin of Harmony and Yakasha of Oblivion.

Minor Gods

Lesser gods of the pantheon. They govern smaller or specialized domains which the major gods have overlooked, and are worshipped by a smaller number of select peoples or professions.

Examples of lesser gods are Kizuami of Trickery and Horome of Moonshadow.

Negentropy (Chaos) Gods

Some gods are bad. During previous ages of Ylva, they were defeated in holy wars and sealed away by the Seven Pillars of the pantheon.

Innos Tur'as is an example of a negentropy god, and may be encountered in Place Where Winds Rest.
