Torbjorn has a solid foundation of faith, but we would like to see independent acts from independent events, and what you have here is mostly how his faith manifests. These are great for the "unique view of faith" for later tiers, but not really very good for notable acts. We would like you to re-review what you have for the last section and reapply when you have new acts.
I have since added some better things for notable acts! The post itself was edited but the original less cool one is in spoilers for comparison, and can also be found on Torbjorn's blessed profile currently / [Theodra] Torbjörn | Medieval & Fantasy Minecraft Roleplaying (hollowworld.co.uk)

Show worship of a Divine for at least one month OOC from the creation of a divine profile/thread.
The character must be at least two months old OOC.
The character must be at least sixteen years of age.
➵ Describe the most prominent relevant deed they've done since their last rank up. This can be a hosted event, a significant achievement, or similar spectacle, but it should tend towards acts that demonstrates their faith to others.

Upcoming - [Feb 23rd, 6:00 EST] Arbori Hunt | Medieval & Fantasy Minecraft Roleplaying (hollowworld.co.uk)
- Hosted a brief sermon before an Arbori pursuit. Somnastra, Yrdl, and Halvar were in attendance.
- Delivered the killing blow to a 13ft angry male Arbori, with the help of Somnastra's good aim wearing the beast down.
➵ Three notable acts in line with their Divine (Hunting, Healing, Bartering, etc) separate to the event(s) above.
- He has taken to collecting the remains of worthy prey and fashioning them into his clothing and jewelry, believing that he will carry their strength. Claws, teeth, bones, hides, scales, etc. Of both beast and man alike, should he come across a challenge of either. Some he may eventually retire and craft into worthy offerings to his Goddess.
- He has forsaken materialistic values and has rejected a civilized lifestyle - in favor of living amongst the wilderness permanently. Every belonging considered personal is able to be traveled with and carried on his person. Any shelter he claims as residence can easily be built up and broken down, with no trace being left. With this, he also tends to only eat things he hunts and gathers himself - away from the grasp of agriculture and civilization - only very occasionally indulging in processed foods such as cheese and bread if it is offered to him in his travels.
- During the Arbori hunt, Torbjorn injured an NPC hunter who had clearly been targeting the young of the Arbori family to stop him from pursuing
the cub who had not put up a fight. The death of this hunter eliminated a portion of weakness from the Everlasting Hunt.
- He is working on crafting the hides of the slain Arbori into armor to honor them in life, so that they may live on through Torbjorn. Their
vengeance will give him strength against those that dishonor the hunt, and kill without need.

➵ One offering of an item to their Divine at a shrine/church/etc (Log its OOC location for collection.)
- The heart of the hunter who brought shame to the hunt in the Arbori event, at a wilderness Shrine.

Faith Meadow - T3
[Divine profile]
[Character profile]

Show extended worship, with two months OOC since achieving T2.

Yes

Describe the three most prominent relevant deeds they've done since their last rank up.
- (1) Faith held a drinking contest. As Kristoff brought booze he made it, including gathering people to meet others. She defended her money and her friends since she takes pride in them completely at bliss!

- (2) She had started to create a clergy for Korog! This is for her own faith and there not being a currently active one. This includes working on a temple behind her home for people to worship in the mountains.

- (3) Faith had participated in Nid Arach. Due to her tenet to remember who her liege is. After destroying the pendant of the inquisition at Korog's shrine. She has persuaded Valtae to join remaining neutral and casted Unmoving on her shield. Faith had helped in destroying some bits of Branko's hold.

- (4) Faith had defended the last bastion. As she said a prayer afterwards heading back. As the fight was finally over, Faith had held true to her tenet to strike true with the bow she had made earlier. She had rebuilt it holding up the wall around as undead went to destroy her craft and kill her! Remebering her tenets to strike true with her craft against the threat that was threatening the balance at the sorrows and finishing the job she had promised the dwarf Judah Leatheraxe!


The character must have earnest and genuine faith in their Divine.

Faith had discovered a unique outlook on Korog. As a lot of them are not grounded. She views Korog to be the very thing that keeps everyone grounded. You must fall back to it, even the smallest of creatures go back to the ground to eat and drink. Something that has definitely been unique. Finding her true Faith in Korog as she gave up the other divines and worshiping them. She truly believes that Korog is the way for the future. Being the very sound of the metalic voice ringing out as she speaks trying to understand the world.

She believes that Korog is the very foundation that he is the giver of everything that is made and taken. Including the metal that takes people's lives. She has made an Archblossom longbow by the Lionheart due to nobody apart of Korog betraying their promises. Unlike Leonhardht and Iuno. That had promised to teach her but failed to do so. This includes Aleksei saying that he would teach her brother, Josiah Meadow as he had not reached out. Viewing Ignis as corrupt for being so ‘noble’ of her followers. This bow is at (1981, 70, -9857)


Evidence of a more unique understanding and outlook towards their own faith.

I feel like my post for making a clergy is enough. This includes the events that I have hosted before. [Link], [Link], Faith has persuaded. Ruckus to join and got him to finally understand and speak normally towards her!

She had begun to assist others in their faith. Gathering Edger and others out of their caves for previous events to begin to discuss. For their own way and everyone's own sense of pride. Teaching others her own way of thinking for the faith, having pride in your heritage, family, friends, and most importantly your own craft. Everyone can be neutral but there are different aspects of being neutral. Lawful neutral, neutral, chaotic neutral, and evil neutral. To keep the balance, you must do what you think is right for your friends, family, and more. Which has led her to be seen as prideful.


Must have at least five instances in their divine log where they have personally done something significant in the name of their faith
- (1) Faith had a talk with her apprentice Gaelwyn .Showing her own unique way of pride. For her craft and friends. Not minding too much for herself. An idea for family and friends! You need multiple parts of a craft to work! So, she believes this is important for Korogites!

- (2) Faith had explained to her apprentice Kaede. About what Korog means to her and to obey your true liege. This includes bowing. Which makes Faith a tad uncomfortable. Due to her not being the Exalt or the like! Be obedient to your rightful liege.

- (3) Faith had debated with Valtae about the gods. Including on what their true domains are. As no pantheon member declares the domain as mercy or the domain as Sound. Faith's voice booms out with a metallic ring due to her being a part of a cult and her members. Yet, it does not make sense. Only specific members of the pantheon have true music or true sound. You need sound to speak, hear, and more.

- (4) She had climbed the mountain nearby behind where the temple was located to get a bird's eye view. She has rescued a horse that was injured. Descending the mountain with a new companion believing that Korog is merciful to those that go to him in dire situations. Faith Meadow has to work on her horseback riding skills to rival Aleksei and Branko. Needing to be much quicker than Vowrawn on horseback. She'd recall her previous conversations with Valtae and Frost. Especially after yesterday, giving Valtae an invention to save lives or an idea. Of Mother's Embrace gloves. Beginning to gather the materials and using the horse to gather some stone once descending the mountain for her craft.

- (5) Faith had held a charity event. For animals nearby building the stalls. As she believes that the snow rabbit was to assist Faith in getting over her fear fully. Believing it to be a gift of Korog. She had gathered Edger and her apprentice Snaxkz as the two discussed on what they wish to be in the faith. A great deal for the clergy for the two of them to finally meet! Which has made her go into a meditation state with her kitten snowflake afterwards at the shrine viewing that Scion's are not at fault and can be blessed. Along with Constructs for Korog. Due to now two of them reaching out to her!

- (6) Faith had attended the fire ceremony at Frost light to burn people's greatest sins on a piece of paper. She took this as a chance to be forgiven, promising Korog that she would leave Nid Arach alone and destroying a book of the necromancer's fort at Nid Arach. Faith believes that such a book is a problem. Especially with her cousin Glory Reeves worshipping Skraag. She is proud of her cousin Glory. But does not believe such a thing should be shown to Glory due to her still working for The Necromancer and not going to her!

- (7) Faith had finally prayed about getting a crafting station at the Underforge expanding! She said a prayer heading back from Storms landing making some nails for the cathedral. Once Albert had casted restore order on Faith while she was working being outraged, she bit down her tongue going back to what she was doing.

They must showcase ten additional instances of significance in the name of their Divine. These should be of importance, be it through protecting a group, hunting down something of significance, the poisoning of a town, or some other action. Why these actions are considered significant should also be added to your logs, how your character personally feels them necessary or important.

  1. Faith had remained neutral in a bar fight at the tavern in storm's landing. This was a fight with Rogal, Faye, and some more. As Rogal took someones tongue. Instead of going back into the fight she went to leave once seeing that Faye was okay defending Faye that is in HER council.
  2. Faith had destroyed an Ignis Pendant at a shrine to Korog. Due to her tenant to only be obedient to him. It was rather painful, due to it being one of the first things that Faith has ever made as a carver before she had actually started to worship Korog. The day right before.
  3. Faith had made a giant ship made out of Birdwood. Due to her heading towards Korog's log [LINK] for climbing! Be as honest as thine work, for the crafter imparts themselves on their creation. It took months to make the ship along with getting help. Due to Faith not being a tailor herself to make the sail. As she remembered that Fjord's wife is a tailor going to her for assistance on this endeavor.
  4. Faith had taught Ruckus a lesson. As he had ventured to hell and has done multiple things. The man is petrified in the landing, not having a sense of true pride and own worth. Faith had taken him to the Forge to show that he can do something and to have a sense of pride in his actions. This includes getting him to stop and worry, becoming more neutral in the landing. As he had stopped stuttering around Faith.
  5. Faith had talked to Vowrawn. As she was fighting for her life, the man had to be pride. Taking everything in his own glory as Faith was unable to build in Grakanant. She had left Cor Votum taking the beating of her life from him. As she had faught with her allies before, defending the shrine from him. As he wished to tear down. She had finally defended her own pride and her own crafts from him.
  6. Faith had taught Gaelwyn some crafting with Alchemy. This includes getting the character into crafting. He had begun to reach out to Faith for assistance and to test out the unknown as Faith views everyone has the right to learn and being obedient to Korog in The Coast by making something. Even if it is the tiniest thing such as carving their first toy!
  7. Faith made a Trebuchet for Nid Arach. Remaining neutral towards Skraag praying over her cousin's shield to destroy the wall. As this happened. She protected the Trebutchet from the first beast striking true as her tenet declares so!
  8. Faith had got Gaelwyn to become an apprentice alchemist. Praying over his first alchemist craft as she went into more about what it takes. Giving him inspiration and pride for his craft. Including going into a long prayer for him.
  9. Faith had baptized Snaxkz an Immortal Construct. Taking him as an apprentice to teach the ways of Korog to him!
  10. Faith had remained neutral. As Vowrawn sent men into the hills. Allowing them to past for Grakanant. Even after their dispute and him trying to attack her, dragging her back into Grakanant for arrest! Leofwine had fought Branko Callas and lost. As vowrawn sent people to the kills to deal with some bandits he had found Leofwine bleeding out and saved his life as she was teaching Snaxkz!
  11. Faith had defended her claims and her property. As Sophie insulted Faith! Picking up the twins as she had trained her dog Moose the corgi well. Talking back and forth before leaving. As Laicelem had joked about eating her pet that is extremely close to her! Defend your name and claims, for pride in one's worth is warranted.
  12. Faith had taken Kaede as an apprentice! Assisting her in worshiping Korog or beginning to learn more, providing her a feast to celebrate the occasion to be a servant for the clergy and Kaede stated that she would listen to Faith. Which was a great day to have someone assist in building homes for other people. Kaede is a refugee from Linlea!
  13. Faith had taken an oath of neutrality swearing to always protect the balance free of pride and prejudice matters. By the iron and mead within my blood, I hold this oath to you Korog. That I will not give intention the deception of Ignis and her followers. I take this oath, that I will only uphold neutrality to protect the balance, Permanence and neutrality for the realm. I shall observer your direction. I will remain faithful as I have been through the beginning of my new life. As Albert dared to question my loyalty to you at the grand cathedral. I shall become wiser as my years to come listening to my ally's and foes the like to improve and act out your will. As a child goes to their father for approval. I shall go to you in prayer.

Syra - Jishrim, T1

Show worship of a Divine for at least one month OOC from the creation of a divine profile/thread.
Divine profile created on the 3rd November. [here]

The character must be at least two months old OOC.
Yes!

The character must be at least sixteen years of age.
Yes.

Describe the most prominent relevant deed they've done since their last rank up. This can be a hosted event, a significant achievement, or similar spectacle, but it should tend towards acts that demonstrate their faith to others.
She attended a Divination by Rogal, and took the opportunity to interrupt Rogal and seek answers from the entity directly in regards to finding 'Freedom' for Jishrim. She brought her own offering, seperate to Rogal, as well, in attempts to show her own personal devotion. The offering was an octopus vase, because she thinks the eight arms are fitting.

Three notable acts in line with their Divine (Hunting, Healing, Bartering, etc) separate to the event(s) above.
1 - In effort to secure a dagger for herself from Kristoff the Dwarf, she says she will provide him with free exposure. She takes it to an extreme and litters the entire Landing with posters and notices to spread awareness of his business, potentially to the point of being a detriment. This includes advertising at the graveyard of the grey lady.

2 - Finds a brewing barfight in the tavern, actively worsens it and tries to pull in a pacifist (Eyvind) and pin blame on an innocent bystander (Crowley). Jumps on Serafino who was not the main culprit and then takes to attacking everyone equally and eventually killing two others via broken bottles, sharpened knitting needles, and her teeth (npcs.) It ends in Rogal getting involved and taking Serafino's tongue and causing chaos of his own in her 'defense'.

3 - After feigning a broken back/ribs to ellicit sympathy and coin and trauma from Leofwine, she meets Alyssa who seems interested in broken bones to practice healing. She, despite Alyssa's protests, has Pyre break her own arm in return for coin and a meal from Alyssa. Then she makes a scene. Ultimately she is paid nothing for her broken arm, but is healed anyway, and then partakes in convincing others around her to help in stealing chairs and hiding them in a house nearby.


One offering of an item to their Divine at a shrine/church/etc (Log its OOC location for collection.)
She has sewn a robe for Jishrim, and left it at his altar in the Landing. (It is in my inv; I wasnt sure if I should put it there if the Cathedral is being changed - I can send it to someone!)
At this time, the team will need to see Syra unpossessed in order to proceed with any rankup. We would also love to see one more solid act of her own outside of the Divination.

For the others currently waiting, discussions are active and ongoing - answers should be coming soon!

As the day turns to dusk, Torbjorn finds himself working steadily at his trading post. His hands carefully carving that of a bow for a young customer. The detail of his work seems to flow through him, and in the dusk a howl echoes near. Silver etchings fall upon the bow, lingering for a few moments in Torbjorn's presence before fading. A sign from the Huntress in his work, and a renewed sense of power. Welcome to T1.

Faith Meadow has to work on her horseback riding skills to rival Aleksei and Branko. Needing to be much quicker than Vowrawn on horseback. She'd recall her previous conversations with Valtae and Frost. Especially after yesterday, giving Valtae an invention to save lives or an idea. Of Mother's Embrace gloves. Beginning to gather the materials and using the horse to gather some stone once descending the mountain for her craft.

- (5) Faith had held a charity event. For animals nearby building the stalls. As she believes that the snow rabbit was to assist Faith in getting over her fear fully. Believing it to be a gift of Korog. She had gathered Edger and her apprentice Snaxkz as the two discussed on what they wish to be in the faith. A great deal for the clergy for the two of them to finally meet! Which has made her go into a meditation state with her kitten snowflake afterwards at the shrine viewing that Scion's are not at fault and can be blessed. Along with Constructs for Korog. Due to now two of them reaching out to her!

- (6) Faith had attended the fire ceremony at Frost light to burn people's greatest sins on a piece of paper. She took this as a chance to be forgiven, promising Korog that she would leave Nid Arach alone and destroying a book of the necromancer's fort at Nid Arach. Faith believes that such a book is a problem. Especially with her cousin Glory Reeves worshipping Skraag. She is proud of her cousin Glory. But does not believe such a thing should be shown to Glory due to her still working for The Necromancer and not going to her!

- (7) Faith had finally prayed about getting a crafting station at the Underforge expanding! She said a prayer heading back from Storms landing making some nails for the cathedral. Once Albert had casted restore order on Faith while she was working being outraged, she bit down her tongue going back to what she was doing.

They must showcase ten additional instances of significance in the name of their Divine. These should be of importance, be it through protecting a group, hunting down something of significance, the poisoning of a town, or some other action. Why these actions are considered significant should also be added to your logs, how your character personally feels them necessary or important.

  1. Faith had remained neutral in a bar fight at the tavern in storm's landing. This was a fight with Rogal, Faye, and some more. As Rogal took someones tongue. Instead of going back into the fight she went to leave once seeing that Faye was okay defending Faye that is in HER council.
  2. Faith had destroyed an Ignis Pendant at a shrine to Korog. Due to her tenant to only be obedient to him. It was rather painful, due to it being one of the first things that Faith has ever made as a carver before she had actually started to worship Korog. The day right before.
  3. Faith had made a giant ship made out of Birdwood. Due to her heading towards Korog's log [LINK] for climbing! Be as honest as thine work, for the crafter imparts themselves on their creation. It took months to make the ship along with getting help. Due to Faith not being a tailor herself to make the sail. As she remembered that Fjord's wife is a tailor going to her for assistance on this endeavor.
  4. Faith had taught Ruckus a lesson. As he had ventured to hell and has done multiple things. The man is petrified in the landing, not having a sense of true pride and own worth. Faith had taken him to the Forge to show that he can do something and to have a sense of pride in his actions. This includes getting him to stop and worry, becoming more neutral in the landing. As he had stopped stuttering around Faith.
  5. Faith had talked to Vowrawn. As she was fighting for her life, the man had to be pride. Taking everything in his own glory as Faith was unable to build in Grakanant. She had left Cor Votum taking the beating of her life from him. As she had faught with her allies before, defending the shrine from him. As he wished to tear down. She had finally defended her own pride and her own crafts from him.
  6. Faith had taught Gaelwyn some crafting with Alchemy. This includes getting the character into crafting. He had begun to reach out to Faith for assistance and to test out the unknown as Faith views everyone has the right to learn and being obedient to Korog in The Coast by making something. Even if it is the tiniest thing such as carving their first toy!
  7. Faith made a Trebuchet for Nid Arach. Remaining neutral towards Skraag praying over her cousin's shield to destroy the wall. As this happened. She protected the Trebutchet from the first beast striking true as her tenet declares so!
  8. Faith had got Gaelwyn to become an apprentice alchemist. Praying over his first alchemist craft as she went into more about what it takes. Giving him inspiration and pride for his craft. Including going into a long prayer for him.
  9. Faith had baptized Snaxkz an Immortal Construct. Taking him as an apprentice to teach the ways of Korog to him!
  10. Faith had remained neutral. As Vowrawn sent men into the hills. Allowing them to past for Grakanant. Even after their dispute and him trying to attack her, dragging her back into Grakanant for arrest! Leofwine had fought Branko Callas and lost. As vowrawn sent people to the kills to deal with some bandits he had found Leofwine bleeding out and saved his life as she was teaching Snaxkz!
  11. Faith had defended her claims and her property. As Sophie insulted Faith! Picking up the twins as she had trained her dog Moose the corgi well. Talking back and forth before leaving. As Laicelem had joked about eating her pet that is extremely close to her! Defend your name and claims, for pride in one's worth is warranted.
  12. Faith had taken Kaede as an apprentice! Assisting her in worshiping Korog or beginning to learn more, providing her a feast to celebrate the occasion to be a servant for the clergy and Kaede stated that she would listen to Faith. Which was a great day to have someone assist in building homes for other people. Kaede is a refugee from Linlea!
  13. Faith had taken an oath of neutrality swearing to always protect the balance free of pride and prejudice matters. By the iron and mead within my blood, I hold this oath to you Korog. That I will not give intention the deception of Ignis and her followers. I take this oath, that I will only uphold neutrality to protect the balance, Permanence and neutrality for the realm. I shall observer your direction. I will remain faithful as I have been through the beginning of my new life. As Albert dared to question my loyalty to you at the grand cathedral. I shall become wiser as my years to come listening to my ally's and foes the like to improve and act out your will. As a child goes to their father for approval. I shall go to you in prayer.
Discussion is ongoing for this one - thank you for your patience!

Yes

Describe the three most prominent relevant deeds they've done since their last rank up.
- (1) Faith held a drinking contest. As Kristoff brought booze he made it, including gathering people to meet others. She defended her money and her friends since she takes pride in them completely at bliss!

- (2) She had started to create a clergy for Korog! This is for her own faith and there not being a currently active one. This includes working on a temple behind her home for people to worship in the mountains.

- (3) Faith had participated in Nid Arach. Due to her tenet to remember who her liege is. After destroying the pendant of the inquisition at Korog's shrine. She has persuaded Valtae to join remaining neutral and casted Unmoving on her shield. Faith had helped in destroying some bits of Branko's hold.

- (4) Faith had defended the last bastion. As she said a prayer afterwards heading back. As the fight was finally over, Faith had held true to her tenet to strike true with the bow she had made earlier. She had rebuilt it holding up the wall around as undead went to destroy her craft and kill her! Remebering her tenets to strike true with her craft against the threat that was threatening the balance at the sorrows and finishing the job she had promised the dwarf Judah Leatheraxe!


The character must have earnest and genuine faith in their Divine.

Faith had discovered a unique outlook on Korog. As a lot of them are not grounded. She views Korog to be the very thing that keeps everyone grounded. You must fall back to it, even the smallest of creatures go back to the ground to eat and drink. Something that has definitely been unique. Finding her true Faith in Korog as she gave up the other divines and worshiping them. She truly believes that Korog is the way for the future. Being the very sound of the metalic voice ringing out as she speaks trying to understand the world.

She believes that Korog is the very foundation that he is the giver of everything that is made and taken. Including the metal that takes people's lives. She has made an Archblossom longbow by the Lionheart due to nobody apart of Korog betraying their promises. Unlike Leonhardht and Iuno. That had promised to teach her but failed to do so. This includes Aleksei saying that he would teach her brother, Josiah Meadow as he had not reached out. Viewing Ignis as corrupt for being so ‘noble’ of her followers. This bow is at (1981, 70, -9857)


Evidence of a more unique understanding and outlook towards their own faith.

I feel like my post for making a clergy is enough. This includes the events that I have hosted before. [Link], [Link], Faith has persuaded. Ruckus to join and got him to finally understand and speak normally towards her!

She had begun to assist others in their faith. Gathering Edger and others out of their caves for previous events to begin to discuss. For their own way and everyone's own sense of pride. Teaching others her own way of thinking for the faith, having pride in your heritage, family, friends, and most importantly your own craft. Everyone can be neutral but there are different aspects of being neutral. Lawful neutral, neutral, chaotic neutral, and evil neutral. To keep the balance, you must do what you think is right for your friends, family, and more. Which has led her to be seen as prideful.


Must have at least five instances in their divine log where they have personally done something significant in the name of their faith
- (1) Faith had a talk with her apprentice Gaelwyn .Showing her own unique way of pride. For her craft and friends. Not minding too much for herself. An idea for family and friends! You need multiple parts of a craft to work! So, she believes this is important for Korogites!

- (2) Faith had explained to her apprentice Kaede. About what Korog means to her and to obey your true liege. This includes bowing. Which makes Faith a tad uncomfortable. Due to her not being the Exalt or the like! Be obedient to your rightful liege.

- (3) Faith had debated with Valtae about the gods. Including on what their true domains are. As no pantheon member declares the domain as mercy or the domain as Sound. Faith's voice booms out with a metallic ring due to her being a part of a cult and her members. Yet, it does not make sense. Only specific members of the pantheon have true music or true sound. You need sound to speak, hear, and more.

- (4) She had climbed the mountain nearby behind where the temple was located to get a bird's eye view. She has rescued a horse that was injured. Descending the mountain with a new companion believing that Korog is merciful to those that go to him in dire situations. Faith Meadow has to work on her horseback riding skills to rival Aleksei and Branko. Needing to be much quicker than Vowrawn on horseback. She'd recall her previous conversations with Valtae and Frost. Especially after yesterday, giving Valtae an invention to save lives or an idea. Of Mother's Embrace gloves. Beginning to gather the materials and using the horse to gather some stone once descending the mountain for her craft.

- (5) Faith had held a charity event. For animals nearby building the stalls. As she believes that the snow rabbit was to assist Faith in getting over her fear fully. Believing it to be a gift of Korog. She had gathered Edger and her apprentice Snaxkz as the two discussed on what they wish to be in the faith. A great deal for the clergy for the two of them to finally meet! Which has made her go into a meditation state with her kitten snowflake afterwards at the shrine viewing that Scion's are not at fault and can be blessed. Along with Constructs for Korog.

Hey there — thanks for your application. Our apologies for the wait here, there was IRL and inactivity to sift through. We’d like to ask you to make a divine ticket to discuss some of the acts in more detail, if you’d be willing. Currently there’s not enough here across the board to warrant a rankup through Korog, and discussing it out may be a good option to start.

Hey Dee, this application is looking good. Apologies for the late response here, the divine team has been a bit busy IRL. We feel that all of these are good steps forward, but specifically the Feast of the Gods Act, Housing Connor, and the Apostles act do not directly fit the mold for Visage. With this in mind, we’re looking for 2 minor actors or 1 major act to go through with approval.

Listen, I know. Let's test out this new rank-up thing, yah?
Significant Deeds

[Intercession] Witness to the intervention of the Gods in the shifting nature of the portal. The presence of particular gods was based on the efforts of their faithful, and Som's efforts during the Ivory War contributed to Theodra's presence during this event.​
[Valorous] Som set forth with the Rangers, and was blisteringly lethal with her bow. However, as their assault on the keep began, she was struck with a ballista. It would have been fatal if not for two things: she had wisely prepared for the possibility of death beforehand with her​
Multiple conversations with Laicelem coaching him about thinking through his actions before acting rashly, in particular about how to do this in pursuit of his own faith in the Huntress.​
Is sought out by others, particularly younger Rangers, as a source of wisdom and strength, and they often ask difficult questions regarding her faith.​

Prominent Deeds

➼ [ Exorcism ] Originally simply a helper with the exorcism of Aleksei Ivanov, when Aryn and Jaden were occupied with the Lamentior that came through, Som took up the task and completed it.​
➼ [ Exorcism ] Relieved Bernard of his abyssal possession, when he was contracted to Geomorren.​
➼ [ Offering ] [Required for T2 in new guidelines, which I did not follow, so this is to meet that] Despite not remembering a thing of her life before the new continent, Som has carried a yew bow that she's had for far longer than she can remember. It was the bow given to her by her likely late husband, that she has born out of instinct this entire time. Leaving it in a wild place for the Huntress (OOC in the cathedral), she is acknowledging the impact that this past still leaves on her, and the steadiness that the Huntress offers to her life. And so she moves forward, unburdened by the unremembered trauma that has haunted her steps. Eyes forward, ears open, mind clear.​
1710032737728.png
(Som's yew bow was made long before Hollowcrafting was a thing, so this is my representation of it)​

➼ [ Meaningful Ritual or Practice ] [This is also required for T3, which Som achieved prior to the new guidelines] Som spends much of her downtime treking across the wild places of Altera. This itself is not her ritual. Nor is the serenity that flows through her with each arrow she fires from her bow - each a prayer. The focused, intentional ritual she has taken up is stalking as close to prey - or other predators - as she can without being detected. She does not hunt them, or kill them during these stalks. Instead she lingers near them with a mind like water - clear and still - and absorbs the wisdom that each animal has to teach her.​
A note on the following events: These almost all follow the "Do not sit idle in the face of a threat. Take up your bow and track it to the source." tenet, and sometimes the "You shall defend your family and home, and teach them well the ways of the world." Som's role in each was largely as a tracker and archer, and a tactician when necessary. I will be a bit brief in descriptions of her role in various events unless it's outside this, as many of the events are from well over a year ago and I have the fuzziest of memories. I know I am missing some, but I included as many as I could remember.
➼ [ Ivory Rift ] When the rift was opened above Storm's Landing, Som helped topple one of the ritual obelisks before she hopped in an airship and went straight to the source, seeking to drive the presence out of this realm.​
➼ [ What We Find In The Shadows ] With a group of Rangers, took down a general holding one of the towers that encircled the Ivory Keep.​
➼ [ The Missing Caravan ] In addition to the practicalities of tracking the Sooleran caravan in support of the Ivory War, this was a rite of passage for her protege Cieren. Som stepped back and let Cieren call the shots in order to evaluate her readiness to be a leader in her own right.​
➼ [ A Waltz of Arrows ] Scouting for the Ivory War.​
➼ [ Scour of the Silent ] A foray by the Rangers into the realm of the Ivory King to seek a firm foothold to push back against his forces.​
➼ [ A Surprise To Be Sure ] More scouting for the Ivory War.​
➼ [ Riots of War ] The first main push into the Ivory Keep.​
➼ [ The Air Was Abuzz ] During the efforts against the Twisted Star, Som went scouting with some of the Rangers and learned valuable lessons about bugs.​
➼ [ Solstice ] A culmination of sorts, where Som and her cohort stood against the forces trying to give strength to Dranoden. Though they did not win the day, they survived to a person, and​
➼ [ Halls Unknown ] Venturing into the lair of the Night Star in the wake of his ascension, the Rangers sought answers - and perhaps something they could use against him if it became necessary.​
➼ [ To Dethrone ] Pushing deeper into the lair of the once-archfiend, Som and her allies faced demonic generals.​
➼ [ The Bachelorette Party ] On the eve of Marian's wedding, there was a hunt. The gryphons that were found did not behave as expected, and the group realized they were not the bloodthirsty creatures others had encountered before. Som now wears a feather of one of the adults they slew before they realized their mistake, to remind herself to always re-evaluate situations that seem straightforward. To not kill without necessity.
➼ [ The Poachers ] A fellow hunter invited Som and some of the Rangers to hunt poachers that were within his territory. So soon in the wake of the gryphon hunt, the poacher's actions and treatment of the young arbori drove her and Yrdl to treat the poachers with no mercy.​

Exalted Deed

➼ [ The Ivory King ] The final assault within the Ivory Keep, which saw the death of both the Ivory King and his spawn. Som was among those left standing in the aftermath after getting pretty up close and personal.​

Total: 20

I would prefer an in-game rank-up.

Everyone, please make it clear in your application what divine you are applying for, and what Tier.

TheChibiKiwi can you do a quick edit up there, just so we got everything squared away? Thanks!

As evening makes room for nightfall and Lily finds herself scribing the pages of her book, she'd find herself joined by the sensation of an audience watching her work. The feeling of being watched coming from all around but there's nothing she can see causing it. Then the quiet choir of whispers begins, echoing the secrets on the pages to her, but only so loud that she can barely hear it. It last just long enough for her to take notice, and when they fade, she feels a surge of quiet power within her.

Congratulations, Knowledge Seeker, you have achieved Tier 1.

Thank you for using baptism for one of your acts, it pointed out a gap in our list. We've included it now for future T1 apps to use (but won't be eligible for higher tiers).

I also want to say for folks who will use the 'Do something that impresses God' prominent deed, we are looking for something that makes us go 'wow, that's cool.' We want to allow for creativity, but these are more than conversations, and need to be concrete accomplishments. Conversations and smaller acts that the god would approve of can make the difference if we're on the fence on prominent deeds, but we won't count them for themselves. Still good to keep a log like this!
