Elin:Gods: Difference between revisions
Changed “favor” to “piety” as used in the game. If you find anything that is wrong in context, please correct it.
m (→Favor: I just saw the message "You feel the distance to your Goddess lessening." in game. Not sure if it's a gender-based thing or if the shrinking line was updated. Added it to the 25-45% section as I got sense of peace shortly after more offerings.) |
