DF2010:Deity
From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
| This article is about the current version of DF. |
A deity is the object of worship chosen by a creature. Deities are randomly generated during worldgen, with the objects/creatures/concepts/etc. they are associated with. Dwarves worship multiple deities, most of which are often depicted as a dwarf, though on occasion they may worship a deity that is depicted as an animal or vermin. Worship and deities differ among races; Humans and Goblins also worship multiple deities, sometimes dwarven deities. Elves do not worship a deity, but believe in a single force that permeates the forests.
[edit] Fortress Mode
Each dwarf and many other creatures have a deity listed among their relationships. Fortress mode does not currently include priests or temples, but does include idols that may be representations of dwarven deities.
[edit] Adventurer Mode
In Adventurer mode, Human and Goblin towns include temples dedicated to deities, inhabited by Priests. If you speak to a High Priest and offer your service, you will be able to speak to the deity from any location, though the deity will not respond.
