The world of [[Layonara]] currently has 28 [[Deities]] in its pantheon, each with his or her own alignment, dogma, and spheres of influence. These deities expand their influence and power throughout the world through their followers. Characters that worship a deity are expected to abide by and exhibit the tenants of faith of that deity. | |||
While the expectations a deity places on the average follower are usually small, the expectations set upon those that receive divine power from their deity are much greater. As recipients of divine power Clerics, Paladins and Champions have a number of additional rules governing their submission and play. | While the expectations a deity places on the average follower are usually small, the expectations set upon those that receive divine power from their deity are much greater.

* Clerics' alignments may be no farther than one step from the alignment of their deity.

If it becomes clear to a deity that a member of their empowered followers is not living up to the requirements placed upon them, that follower will fall from favor, often with their deity revoking any granted powers either until they prove themselves worthy or permanantly. What actions, on the part of the character, would cause a deity to take such an action against them and the bounds of what action would be taken varies widely depending on the deity in question. | If it becomes clear to a deity that a member of their empowered followers is not living up to the requirements placed upon them, that follower will fall from favor, often with their deity revoking any granted powers either until they prove themselves worthy or permanantly.
