LoreRim Religions – Every God, Shrine, Blessing and Taboo

Every god a LoreRim character can follow: the faiths the start menu offers each race, the ones opened later at shrines and through books, and each god's blessings, tenets and taboos.

At the end of LoreRim's character setup a menu lists the gods your race may start with, plus None; it is shown once and never again.
Later you follow a god by praying at its shrine, if your race or finished quests allow it; this replaces your current god, and saying no still gives you the shrine's blessing.
Daedric Princes also make one-time offers to follow them, whatever your race: when you read certain books about them, at a point in their quest, and the first time you sleep after finishing it.
Following a god gives its Follower power at once; most powers grow with favor, and at 100% favor you become a Devotee and gain a second power, with favor able to climb to 200%.
Keeping a god's tenets and praying raise favor; neglect and taboos lower it, and at 0% the god abandons you, though you can follow it again at a shrine.
LoreRim limits prayer to once every 12 in-game hours, except for devotees of Kynareth, Phynaster, the Magna-Ge, Rajhin, Z'en and Xarxes, whose devotee powers are used through prayer.
You cannot pray in combat, while moving or sneaking, or with a weapon or spell drawn, and you follow only one god at a time.
The Nine Divines lose favor when you gain a bounty, while the Elven, Yokudan and Khajiiti gods ignore crime; Daedric favor fades faster than the Divines'.
