Gods

There are no gods here. Just those who pay for the privilege. — Mordecai^[1]

Gods (also known as Deities; some of which come from real-world cultures), are beings that reside inside the Dungeon. They can be sponsored by very rich Syndicate citizens.

Gods do not show up in the Dungeon until the Fourth Floor. ^[2]

Worshiping a God

A crawler can choose to worship a God after they have seen that god in person or received an item that allows one to worship the god.

Sample welcome message

When Carl worships Emberus, he receives the following welcome message:

Congratulations, Crawler. You have devoted your life and fate to one of service. You are now an adherent of Emberus, God of Sun and Ash! Your ranking in the church: Acolyte. Warning: You do not have a cleric or paladin class. As such, you may not ascend past Devotee. See the Deity tab for more information.

Emberus, the personification of a star’s destructive power, welcomes you into his warm embrace. He welcomes all who accept his core philosophy. Emberus believes power, once held, must never sit idle. It is to be used and never squandered.

Because of your new-found faith, you must adhere to the following rules, lest you provoke the god’s wrath.

• You mustn’t cause harm to fellow worshipers of Emberus.
• You must stop and offer a single drop of blood at an Emberus temple at least once a day. If no temples are found in a 30-hour period, you must make the offering at the sun shrine that has now appeared in your personal space.
• Five percent of all looted gold must also be tossed into the shrine.
• You may not own or wield any magical gear that is blessed by the god Hellik.
• You must successfully complete all issued church quests.^[3]

Ranks

Church ranks are decided by dedication to a god.

• Acolyte: This is the first rank of a worshiper of a god and the rank a crawler is first assigned when they choose to worship a god.
• Devotee:
• Beyond Devotee: Crawlers must have a cleric or paladin class to ascend in a religion beyond Devotee status.
