X. What are Favors?

Daily, Clerics must face death. We face the possibility of our own each time we head into battle. We face the death of others as their bodies are brought to us to help restore the drifting soul to its mortal form. And when we face death, favors are the only sure way to safely return life, for even our own powers can fail us. You will need favors to maintain your own existence as well as sharing your favors with those less fortunate, the favorless.

When you have obtained your favors, you will find security in depth. If you are forced to depart from this world, your soul will be restored to your body from the Starry Road, and you will awaken in the nearest holy Temple. Without favors from your god, your soul will remain forever lost in the Starry Road. Remember, though, once a god uses your favor to return your soul, you must seek again to replace what has been taken. This is why it is good practice to seek more than one favor at a time when you quest for them.

You may quest for these favors in each of the main cities, Haven, Shard, and the Crossing. If you look to fellow clerics they will be happy to help you in this pilgrimage. However, do not expect them to tell you exactly what you must do.

This is your quest and only you must fulfill it. Though it may be frustrating, when you consider life and death eternal, this is a small token of your time.

You will need to have chosen a god to follow, and that god will be the one to grant your favor to you. However you may ask for a favor from more than one god, although no favor from one god outweighs a favor from another god.
