Divine Wrath

The wrath of the gods.


 * When a worshipper has offended the gods, his community is punished as they cannot single out individuals.
 * Every deity's punishment differs.
 * The punishment ranges from:
 * sickness
 * bad luck
 * freak accidents


 * The punishment also reflects not just their anger but the withdrawal of divine protection.
 * When the community recognises the curse, they must find its source often through Divination
 * They have to identify the offender (which Divination and the Wyter will not help with)
 * They must make the offender correct his error.
 * If the community fails to identify the offender then the wrath increases.
 * If unchecked, the wrath will destroy the community.
 * If the offender is identified but refuses to repent, then the community can call upon the gods to punish the individual.
 * This is done through summoning Spirits of Reprisal
 * The gods can not be fooled by having an innocent take the blame as a scapegoat.
 * An offender can conceal his crime against the gods by taking the blame upon himself.
 * Among the Heortlings, this can be done by the ritual of Dirt Eating
