Shrine Tenders
More actions
The Shrine tent is for the faithful of Haven to give Faith to the gods. These prayers may be roleplayed in a variety of ways and people can use this space for religious roleplay or for quieter moments depending on their character. This is where priests come to commune with their gods, perform petitions, ask for divine inspiration on problems they may have, debate miracles or sit quietly in reflection. Sometimes the Shrine tent is available as a location to channel entreaties when the Menhir is not available.
The Shrine tent is also the place where you can find the Shrine Tenders, these are priests duty bound to the gods to aid the faithful of haven in the fight against the corruption. OOC these are crew who can help anyone with an interest in the Faith / God side of the game
Characters may also use the shrines in this space to place loose offerings of Faith in the shrines by OC putting in the card(s) and IC performing a few moments of devotional thought or action at the shrine. Characters may also write prayers to the gods at the shrines too but these will be burned by the Shrine Tenders at the end of the event.
Miracles
One of the key things that occurs in the shrine tent during Haven is all interested faithful characters will gather to debate which of the miracles that the gods have offered them are to be accepted. The time this debate happens may change from event to event around when the monstering slots are for each nation, so that all people who wish to attend, can attend. The debate is moderated by the shrine tenders to ensure all get an equal say and opportunity.
The time for the debate at the upcoming event is: Saturday 5pm - 6pm.
It may finish earlier but the shrine tenders will endeavour to make sure it does not overrun. People are encouraged to find priests and discuss the options before this time but this is the time where the decision will be made. Anyone is free to attend.
Divine Inspiration
Priests who can perform the divine inspiration ceremony will need to perform their ceremony in the Shrine tent, asking a question of their god. This will take the form of a piece of paper with your character ID, name, patron god and the question, following the rules of divine inspiration.
Once the question has been submitted alongside the prerequesite faith, it will take some time for the patron god to compile a response. In the timetable below there are timings detailed about when a response might be expected if it was submitted before certain deadlines.
Some questions may require the god to consider it for longer, or find the information out themself. This may mean a response is delayed between events.
Shrine tent timetable:
To make sure these timings are easy to understand, we have put these into a schedule below.
This timetable is by no means exhaustive, there will likely be many other things occuring around the shrine tent but this is a summary of the relevant times and deadlines for supporting time limited ceremonies.
