Shrine priests and the path to an alignment
You can now earn an alignment yourself — from the priests on the Shrine Street.
- The temples are open to everyone: a priest receives visitors in each vestibule — Brother Aurelius in the Temple of Light, Mother Morana in the Lair of Darkness, Elder Velimir in the Grove of Balance. The vestibule has its own chat, and only members may enter the hall, as before.
- From level 4 you can start the path with the priest of the side you want to join. The path is five trials, one per cave: from the Damp Cave to the Abyss.
- In each cave you collect relics: from chests, from enemies and the master’s seal. While the trial is taken they drop much more often, but no more than one of each kind per run.
- The last trial is a ritual at the altar at level 8. The priest accepts the gifts of the Abyss and 50 ducats — and names you one of their own.
- Relics also drop for those not on the path, just far more rarely. You can sell them to and buy them from other players.
- You can quit the path at any time, but you’ll have to start over.
- You can renounce your alignment with your own priest for 100 ducats. After that your karma is cleansed for a week — until it ends you can’t start a new path.
Also: the chat now shows a fighter’s level next to their name.
